Light Sheet Sheds Light on Tumor Therapy
Svenja Rühland / Hartmann Harz
The idea of light sheet microscopy was already born a hundred years ago. Richard Zsigmondy used an innovative method of side illumination to observe the chemistry of nanometer sized colloids, which won him the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1925. Almost a century later, Ernst Stelzer and his group re-implemented that technology within an era dominated by fluorescence microscopy. Fluorescent labeling of cells and the sensitivity of light sheet microscopy led to new insights into the three-dimensionality of whole organs and the four-dimensionality of developing organisms. The open source project “openSPIM” by the group of Pavel Tomancak finally made light sheet microscopy accessible to the broad scientific community. This has allowed Hartmann Harz at the Center for Advanced Light Microscopy at the LMU Munich to build an in-house light sheet microscope which PhD student Svenja Rühland from the group of Peter Nelson uses to image therapeutic vehicle cells within 3D tumor spheroids.
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
Loyal Books
Robinson Crusoe is perhaps the most famous castaway of all time. Whilst many of us have not read Defoe’s iconic book, Robinson Crusoe is a character that is familiar to us all. Aided by the hundreds of movies and theatre productions that the book spurned, Crusoe is a household name. Credited with being the first "real fiction" book, this fictional autobiography tells the tale of a young man who found himself shipwrecked on a remote island for 28 years. The story is said to be based on the dramatic life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived alone for four years on a Pacific island.With a recent trend in reality TV shows based on survival and being "castaway", everybody has ideas on how they would cope alone in the wild. So, why read this novel if we think we know best? The truth is, Defoe’s portrayal of the trials and tribulations of Crusoe give raw insight into the reality and loneliness of having no companionship and no hope. Described by Samuel T. Coleridge as "The U
Under the Andes by Rex Stout (1886 - 1975)
LibriVox
Under the Andes was written by Rex Stout years before his creation of the immensely popular Nero Wolfe series of novels, and while perhaps his future writing style is still blossoming, certainly his knack for weaving a fantastic tale of mystery and adventure will have most readers anxious for the next phase of adventure at every turn.The story finds two brothers and a pretty female companion on a journey which eventually takes them to a series of underground caves under the Andes of South America, where they encounter a lost tribe of Incas who have apparently survived hundreds of years oblivious of the outside world. The apparent 'king' of the tribe has become infatuated with the fair-skinned female intruder of the group and, well, suffice it to say there's a lot of action, attempted escapes, heroism, and peculiar interactions between all, reminiscent of H. Rider Haggard with a touch of Edgar Rice Burroughs. (Summary by Roger Melin)
Tales from Babushka's Bookshelf
Sophie Elle
A little taste of some big novels. Brought to you from San Francisco, CA.We stand with Ukraine and are devastated at what has been unfolding in recent months. Please consider donating to humanitarian organizations. One year ago I left my twenty-something London life behind to start from scratch in California. I did it all for love...of literature! As a PhD student at UC Berkeley, I have just one year left to read one hundred Russophone novels, before facing some mammoth Master's exams, and I'm hoping that you might join me for the read! Together we'll explore the fantastical noses of Gogol, the lovelorn Annas and Pierres of Tolstoy, the strange talking cats of Bulgakov, as well as some Chekhovian seagulls for good measure.
