Join us tomorrow at 11 AM EST to explore how advanced imaging is changing the way preclinical cancer research is done — from model selection to data quality.

We'll break down the pros and cons of common murine tumor models, challenge some assumptions behind traditional measurement methods, and show how modern imaging can boost reproducibility and clinical relevance.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) frequently co-present in patients, affecting millions of people every year. However, the mechanisms underlying their complex relationship are largely unclear.

For the first time, researchers have modeled the molecular events of how intermittent hypoxia, the hallmark of OSA, exacerbates lung fibrosis. These results inform our understanding of, and ultimately how we might treat, both conditions.

Explore vascular reactivity and functional responses in isolated arteries with Living Systems' Wire Myography Chamber.

Faithful to the original Halpern/Mulvany design (1976), this updated system includes modern materials, force sensors, and supports for microvessels, large arteries, and tissue strips.
Ideal for studying pathological disease states across various species and vascular beds.

In preclinical bone research, DXA and micro-CT provide complementary insights that help build a more complete understanding of bone changes over time.

DXA supports fast longitudinal in vivo measurements of BMD, BMC, and body composition, while micro-CT delivers high-resolution ex vivo assessment of 3D bone architecture and structural integrity.

Together, they support more comprehensive workflows across orthopaedics, metabolic bone disease, spinal fusion, implant studies, and more.
