Non-invasive real-time pulsed Doppler assessment of blood flow in mouse ophthalmic artery
Imaging was performed under isoflurane anesthesia using the SkyScan 1276 instrument with an X-ray source voltage and current of 70 kV and 200 μA and a 1 mm Aluminum filter. A total of 1200 projection images were acquired at resolution of 13μm.

Preclinical Development for Therapy of Hard-to-Treat PD-L1-Positive Solid Tumors
They developed MDG1015 — CD8⁺ TCR-T cells armored with a PD1-41BB costimulatory switch protein (CSP) that converts PD-L1–mediated inhibition into activation. In vitro, they selectively kill PD-L1⁺ tumor cells while sparing non-target cells.

Subcutaneous delivery of MSC induces immunoregulatory effects in the lymph node
Mice were imaged under anaesthesia (2.5% isoflurane in oxygen), daily until the bioluminescence signal disappeared. Imaging was performed in an Ami-HTX Small Animal Imager and analysed with Aura Imaging Software, from Spectral Instruments Imaging.

Incorporation of SARS-CoV-2 spike NTD to RBD protein vaccine improves immunity against viral variant
By fusing the spike protein's terminal domain (NTD) with its receptor-binding domain (RBD), researchers have engineered a protein vaccine that significantly amplifies both T-cell responses and antibody breadth.

CXCL12+ fibroblastic reticular cells in lymph nodes facilitate immune tolerance
The popliteal LNs were exposed surgically and confocal intravital imaging was performed (IVM-CMS3). Twenty-five Z-stack images were obtained with a 3 μm axial interval. Time-lapse images were obtained at a 1-minute time interval for 20 minutes.
