Here, we provide a reliable approach for isolating low- and normal-density neutrophils from whole blood using magnetic isolation (negative selection) and discontinuous density gradient medium. It ensures untouched isolation of high-purity cells (≥93%), facilitating accurate downstream analysis of neutrophil subpopulations, crucial for understanding their roles in health and disease.

Antegrade Perfusion Model: An Ex Vivo Technique to Perfuse Isolated Mouse Heart

2025
This video describes an antegrade perfusion technique of an isolated mouse heart during which a perfusate is injected through the left ventricle, and eventually, it perfuses the entire myocardium. This method can be used to isolate cardiomyocytes from murine models and generate decellularized hearts for further downstream applications.

Normal Stress

Normal stress is a type of stress that occurs when forces act perpendicular, or normal, to a material's cross-sectional area. This stress often arises in structures when subjected to axial loading, which is the application of force along the axis of an object. A practical example of this can be found in bridge truss members. When a rod is under axial loading, the internal forces and corresponding stress are normal to the plane of the section, so it is termed normal stress. It's important to...

The normal, a continuous distribution, is the most important of all the distributions. Its graph is a bell-shaped symmetrical curve, which is observed in almost all disciplines. Some of these include psychology, business, economics, the sciences, nursing, and, of course, mathematics. Some instructors may use the normal distribution to help determine students’ grades. Most IQ scores are normally distributed. Often real-estate prices fit a normal distribution. The normal distribution is extremely...

The porcine model of liver normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), described here, can be successfully used to study NMP as a preservation strategy, a tool for viability assessment, and a platform for organ repair. It holds a high translational value, however it is technically challenging and labor-intensive.
FAQs
The calculation pairs two measurements: a perfusion value and a tissue-density value obtained independently. The perfusion measurement supplies the delivery signal, while density provides the reference for how much tissue receives that delivery. Scaling by this reference produces a tissue-adjusted quantity, allowing differences in tissue amount to be separated from delivery differences.
An independent density measurement gives the perfusion result a separate tissue-based reference rather than relying only on the delivery measurement. This helps account for variation in tissue composition, region size, or sample volume. As a result, an observed difference is less likely to reflect unequal amounts of tissue alone and can be evaluated as a potential change in delivery.
Normalization places perfusion measurements in the context of the tissue being assessed. Regions or patients may contain different tissue amounts, so directly comparing raw delivery values can confound tissue quantity with vascular behavior. A density-adjusted result supports fairer comparisons across tissues, patients, and experimental samples by reducing that source of variation.
First, obtain the perfusion measurement for the selected region or sample. Next, determine tissue density independently for the same assessment. Then combine the two values using the chosen scaling procedure to express delivery relative to tissue amount. Finally, compare the normalized results across regions, patients, samples, or experimental conditions while retaining the underlying measurements for interpretation.
Medical researchers can apply this approach to experimental perfusion measurements and imaging-based perfusion data. It is useful when assessing vascular function, examining disease-related changes, or evaluating responses to treatment. Because the result accounts for tissue amount, investigators can compare findings across differently composed regions or samples with greater interpretive consistency.
The normalized value should be considered together with both the perfusion measurement and the tissue-density value that generated it. This paired interpretation shows whether a difference reflects altered delivery, a change in tissue amount, or both. In medical studies, that context strengthens evaluation of vascular function, disease-associated changes, and treatment-related responses.
