The English physicist George Gabriel Stokes coined the term fluorescence in 1852. He observed blue light emitted by fluorite crystals (calcium fluoride) illuminated by ultraviolet light. Even if the emission was related to impurities in the crystals, the term ‘fluorite’ inspired Stokes to name this phenomenon.   The biological and biomedical sciences use fluorescence physical…

Digital pathology (DP), also known as virtual microscopy or whole slide imaging (WSI), is an alternative to conventional microscopy. Beyond enabling a fully digital workflow for anatomical pathology departments, this technology consists of digitizing a glass slide to produce a digital image.  This technology therefore meets the needs of microscope users who seek to visualize…

Selective dorsal rhizotomy performed by Dr Anthony JOUD and Pr. Marc SINDOU at the Paediatric Neurosurgery Department of the CHRU de Nancy. Abnormal nerve responses are isolated and partially cut , using among other, straight bipolar probe and Nimbus i-Care device form INNOPSYS. The Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy Procedure Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) involves sectioning of some of…

InnoScan Fluorescence Microarray Scanners will be presented at the 2020 National Glycobiology Conference of China. Indeed, the biological importance of glycans in several cell functions range from cell-matrix interactions to organ structure support and from pathogen-host interaction to organism immune regulation. Glycan arrays are becoming a standard tool in glycobiology, to screen glycan interactions with…

Glycan arrays are efficient tools leading to the discovery of therapeutic strategies. InnoScan analyses of glycan arrays enable to identify specific glycan interactions. With the development of antibiotic resistance, infections are harder to treat. According to the WHO, antimicrobial resistance is one of the current global health threat. Therefore, it is urgent to find novel…

IntraOperative nerve monitoring systems enable surgeons to identify, confirm, and monitor motor nerve function to help reduce the risk of nerve damage during various procedures. Awake brain surgery is an audacious practice consisting in waking patient during tumor ablation. Pr Franck-Emmanuel Roux, NeuroSurgeon at Toulouse University Hospital, tell us more: https://www.chu-toulouse.fr/trait-d-union-no-164-printemps-2020

Several diseases are difficult to diagnose when there is a poor number of specific clinical markers or physical symptoms. This is the case of the actual Covid19 pandemic. According to the Pasteur Institute, 30 to 60% of infected people show an asymptomatic form of the disease, specifically for young people. To deal with virus transmission,…
