Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California The study of how damage to the brain affects cognitive functioning has historically been one of the most important tools for cognitive neuroscience. While the brain is one of the most well protected parts of the body, there are many events that can affect the functioning of the brain. Vascular issues, tumors, degenerative diseases, infections, blunt force traumas, and neurosurgery are just some of the...

This video describes the CUBIC-based visualization technique, a tissue clearing-dependent imaging technique for visual assessment of protein expression in whole-mount skin biopsies at single-cell resolution in 3D. This technically simple protocol allows the visualization of skin proteins without preparing skin sections.

Stock Split

A stock split is a corporate action aimed at increasing the number of a company's shares by dividing its existing shares into multiple new ones. This adjustment reduces the per-share price without altering the company's overall market capitalization, thereby making shares more affordable to investors and enhancing trading flexibility. Stock splits are often employed by companies whose stock prices have risen significantly, making their shares less accessible to retail investors. Lowering the...
FAQs
Revascularization allows the transferred tissue to establish a blood supply within the wound environment. This process supports graft survival and helps restore the wound’s protective barrier. In immunology and infection research, the timing and quality of this integration are important because they connect tissue repair with the local inflammatory response and the graft’s vulnerability to microbial colonization.
Inflammation is part of the tissue response after injury, but its relationship to graft integration must be examined carefully. Immune activity can influence how the graft becomes established and how repair proceeds at the wound site. Experimental graft models therefore help researchers study host defenses and determine how immune responses relate to successful integration or increased infection risk.
Restoring the protective skin barrier helps address one of the central consequences of tissue loss: exposure of the wound to the surrounding environment. Split-thickness graft models allow researchers to examine how barrier recovery relates to microbial colonization and infection risk. They also connect these observations with inflammation and repair, providing a combined view of host defense after injury.
The procedure begins by harvesting a thin layer of skin from a donor site. That tissue is then transferred to the wound requiring coverage, where it can revascularize and support barrier restoration. The donor site can regenerate epidermis from remaining skin structures. These linked donor-site and wound-site events make the approach useful for studying both coverage and tissue recovery.
Clinicians use split-thickness skin when tissue loss prevents a wound from closing normally. Covering the wound provides a physical barrier and helps reduce fluid loss while restoration proceeds. The approach is therefore relevant when immediate coverage is needed to support healing, even though the graft and donor site undergo separate recovery processes.
These models provide a setting for examining host defenses, inflammation, microbial colonization, and tissue repair after injury. Researchers can relate immune responses to graft integration and infection risk while also observing restoration of the protective barrier. The resulting context links clinical wound coverage with experimental questions about how immune activity shapes healing and susceptibility to infection.
