Protocol for perfusing human axillary lymph nodes ex vivo to study structure and function in real time by Amy Llewellyn, Rachel Barrow-McGee, Julia Stevenson, Jasmine Gore, Kalnisha Naidoo

“…We describe steps for setting up both thermoregulatory and perfusion circuits, cannulating human lymph nodes, and perfusion. This protocol can be used to study how human lymph nodes change in cancer and other diseases, and/or in response to perturbations, including drugs.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Barrow-McGee et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.…”

Physical Activity Protects the Human Brain against Metabolic Stress Induced by a Postprandial and Chronic Inflammation by Leo Pruimboom, Charles L. Raison, Frits A. J. Muskiet

“…Although the notion that increased physical activity would improve health in the modern world is widespread, here we provide a novel perspective on this truism by providing evidence that recovery of normal human behaviour, such as spontaneous physical activity, would calm proinflammatory activity, thereby allocating more energy to the brain and other organs, and by doing so would improve human health.…”

Designing Gold Nanoparticle-Ensembles as Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Tags inside Human Retinal Cells by Sanda Boca, Dumitrita Rugina, Adela Pintea, Nicolae Leopold, Simion Astilean

“…No further encoding operation is necessary in our case since part of ascorbic acid used as reducing agent remains attached in the interparticle junctions, providing persistent and strong SERS signal when the fabricated tags are internalized by human retinal cells. Our studies demonstrate a promising potential of new SERS-active nanoparticles to serve as effective reporters for biomedical tracing and imaging.…”
