This protocol describes a bioprinting methodology using an automated robotic depositing system that incorporates etched topographical guidance cues with the precision deposition of a cell bearing hydrogel bioink. The printed cells are directly delivered to the etched features and are able to sense and orientate with them.

We describe here the use of a pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein variant, pHluorin, to study the spatio-temporal dynamics of axon guidance receptors trafficking at the cell surface. The pHluorin-tagged receptor is expressed both in cell culture and in vivo, using electroporation of the chick embryo.

Source: Kay Stewart, RVT, RLATG, CMAR; Valerie A. Schroeder, RVT, RLATG. University of Notre Dame, IN The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals1 dictates that rodent survival surgery be performed aseptically. Aseptic technique utilizes specific practices that minimize the contamination of the surgical site, including patient preparation, surgeon preparation, sterilization of instruments and other supplies, and the use of a clean and controlled environment. Presurgical planning,...

Rodent Stereotaxic Surgery

Stereotaxic (or stereotactic) surgery is a method used to manipulate the brain of living animals. This technique allows researchers to accurately target deep structures within the brain through the use of a stereotaxic atlas, which provides the 3D coordinates of each area with respect to anatomical landmarks on the skull. After the skull is exposed, anesthetized animals are mounted on a specialized instrument known as a stereotaxic frame, which enables the precise placement of experimental...

The monitoring of extracellular neurotransmitter levels in distinct brain regions of freely moving animals offers insights on the link between neurotransmitter release and behavior. In vivo microdialysis coupled with electrochemical detection provides excellent anatomical and chemical resolution; and information on how basal neurotransmission is altered by pharmacological or physiological manipulations.
FAQs
Patient-specific planning begins by combining the clinical history, physical examination, imaging findings, airway evaluation, occlusion, and relevant anatomical relationships. Considering these elements together helps clinicians understand the condition in context rather than relying on a single finding. The resulting plan can then be adapted to the patient’s anatomy, functional needs, and appearance-related considerations.
Airway evaluation and occlusion provide distinct but complementary information. Airway assessment addresses an important head and neck relationship, while occlusion concerns how the jaws and teeth relate functionally. Reviewing both alongside anatomy and imaging helps clinicians coordinate operative decisions with the patient’s broader facial structure, supporting attention to chewing, speech, facial function, and procedural risk.
Imaging contributes structural information that complements the history and physical examination. It helps clinicians evaluate anatomical relationships and incorporate those findings into a coordinated treatment plan. This is particularly relevant when facial trauma, jaw deformities, tumors, infections, or reconstructive needs affect more than one facial or head and neck structure, making a broader assessment necessary.
The framework progresses through assessment, planning, and operative performance. Assessment gathers the patient history, examination findings, imaging, airway status, occlusion, and anatomical relationships. Planning interprets these factors together and adapts the intended approach to the patient’s condition. During performance, this preparation guides the procedure while maintaining attention to function, appearance, and safety.
Its clinical applications include facial trauma, jaw deformities, tumors, infections, and reconstructive needs. These conditions may differ substantially, but each can require coordinated consideration of anatomy, function, and appearance. Using the same assessment framework across these situations helps clinicians organize treatment planning while adapting decisions to the specific condition and the patient’s individual anatomical requirements.
The framework gives clinicians a shared basis for coordinating care around anatomy, airway considerations, occlusion, imaging, and clinical findings. That coordination can help reduce procedural risks and keep treatment goals aligned across facial function, speech, chewing, and facial symmetry. Outcome assessment therefore extends beyond the operation itself to the practical functions and appearance affected by treatment.
