Multiple cell types in the retina, including endothelial cells, neurons, and glial cells, express glucose transporters (GLUTs) to enable glucose uptake into cells. Using ex vivo mouse neural retina and the fluorescent glucose analog 6-NBDG, we describe a relatively quick and inexpensive method to measure glucose uptake in the whole mouse retina.

Generating the 6-hydroxydopamine Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease

This video demonstrates a procedure to create a rat model of Parkinson's disease by injecting the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the brain. The neurotoxin infusion into the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) specifically targets dopaminergic neurons responsible for motor control, leading to their destruction and replicating Parkinson's disease symptoms.

Piaget’s sensorimotor stage describes cognitive development from birth to approximately two years. During this stage, infants progress from reflexive behavior toward intentional action and early symbolic thought. Substages four through six show major advances in problem-solving, experimentation, and mental representation.Substage 4: Coordination of Secondary Circular ReactionsFrom approximately 8 to 12 months, infants begin coordinating previously learned behaviors to achieve specific goals.

Jet Impinging on an Inclined Plate

2023
Source: Ricardo Mejia-Alvarez and Hussam Hikmat Jabbar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI The goal of this experiment is to demonstrate how a fluid flow exerts forces on structures by conversion of dynamic pressure into static pressure. To this end, we will make a plane jet impinge on a flat plate and will measure the resulting pressure distribution along the plate. The resultant force will be estimated by integrating the product between the...
FAQs
The separate wells allow biological samples to remain physically isolated while researchers compare conditions within the same plate. Different wells can represent treatments, controls, or other experimental groups, reducing the need to handle each condition in a separate vessel. This arrangement makes side-by-side comparison practical during controlled culture and treatment studies.
A shared lid helps support consistent handling and incubation across all six wells, while the standardized footprint allows the plate to fit established laboratory workflows. Together, these features simplify movement between culture, media changes, imaging, and other handling steps, helping researchers maintain comparable conditions across samples during an experiment.
Its relatively large working volumes and accessible well surfaces provide room to evaluate experimental conditions at a manageable scale. Researchers can use this format to optimize a protocol, compare outcomes, and identify promising conditions before transferring the work to larger cultures or more complex tissue-engineering systems.
Each well can receive a designated experimental condition, allowing treatment groups and controls to be organized within one plate. This layout supports direct comparison while preserving separate sample environments. In bioengineering studies, that organization is useful when evaluating how cells, biomaterials, or transfection conditions respond to differing experimental treatments.
The format supports routine culture operations such as incubating samples, changing media, imaging biological material, and handling wells individually. These activities can be coordinated across multiple experimental conditions in one vessel. The accessible surfaces are also useful when researchers need to examine or manipulate cultured samples during preliminary bioengineering experiments.
Bioengineering researchers use this format for cell culture, biomaterial evaluation, transfection studies, and preliminary tissue-engineering experiments. Its six independently managed wells provide enough capacity to compare conditions while retaining relatively large working volumes. The plate therefore serves as a practical intermediate format for testing biological and material-related protocols before more complex studies.
