Summary
Here’s a look at what’s coming up in the August 2013 issue of JoVE: The Journal of Visualized Experiments.

Optics Department, FEMTO-ST Institute
The customized techniques developed in our lab to build microwave photonics systems based on ultra-high Q whispering gallery mode resonators are presented. The protocols to obtain and characterize these resonators are detailed, and an explanation of some of their applications in microwave photonics is given.
Tissue Engineering of a Human 3D In vitro Tumor Test System

Department of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, University Hospital Würzburg
Methods to create human 3D tumor tissues as test systems are described. These technologies are based on a decellularized Biological Vascularized Scaffold (BioVaSc), primary human cells and a tumor cell line, which can be cultured under static as well as under dynamic conditions in a flow bioreactor.

In honey bee workers, aging depends on social behaviors rather than on chronological age. Here we show how worker-types with very different aging patterns can be obtained and analyzed for cellular senescence.
