The two main fixation formats used by researchers are formalin fixation followed by paraffin embedding (FFPE) or snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen (referred to as Fresh Frozen or FF). There is less of a ...

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues have long served as invaluable resources in biomedical research, particularly in clinical and translational studies. Despite the inherent challenges ...

Stable isotopes are increasingly being used to unlock the wealth of information contained in specimens preserved in museum collections. However, preservation methods that employ formalin may confound ...

Collect tissues using sharp scissors or scalpel blades and mouse-tooth forceps. Handle tissues gently. Grasp and cut samples at the edges, so the areas of interest aren't damaged. At right is a ...

This flexibility enables the fabrication of composite structures that best replicate the physiological conditions that surround the tissue, such as mechanical properties and topographical cues. 10 Due ...
