Microinjected live brain cells

Voir Est Savoir 2020 - Vote 25 - Galina Limorenko Microinjection is a high precision micromanipulation technique that is used for targeted delivery of molecules directly into the living cells and subcellular compartments (orange). Amyloid-forming proteins such as alpha-synuclein, Tau and huntingtin are injected to study them in cellular milieu and their effects on the neuronal and glial brain cells. This technique allows use of tiny amount of material, reduces number of experimental animals and circumvents
