Electrophysiologically calibrated optogenetic stimulation of dentate granule cells mitigates dendritic spine loss in denervated organotypic entorhino-hippocampal slice cultures by Tijana Hanauske, Carolin Christina Koretz, Tassilo Jungenitz, Jochen Roeper, Alexander Drakew, Thomas Deller

“…To achieve this outcome, we had to calibrate the intensity and duration of optogenetic (light) pulses using whole-cell electrophysiological recordings and multi-cell calcium imaging. Our findings showed that ChR2-expressing cells generated action potentials (APs) or calcium transients in response to illumination but were otherwise functionally indistinguishable from non-transduced GCs within the same neural circuit. …”

Biological Characteristics of Fluorescent Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Labeled Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells by Liang Ma, Ming-wei Li, Yu Bai, Hui-hui Guo, Sheng-chao Wang, Qing Yu

“…In this study, we investigate the effects of fluorescent superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIO) (Molday ION Rhodamine-B™, MIRB) on biological properties of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and monitor hDPSCs in vitro and in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Morphological analysis showed that intracellular MIRB particles were distributed in the cytoplasm surrounding the nuclei of hDPSCs. 12.5–100 μg/mL MIRB all resulted in 100% labeling efficiency. …”
