Researchers are now moving from reductionist, 2D monoculture assay models to more complex 3D cell models, such as organoids and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) cultures, in order to better evaluate the dynamic interactions.

Bionano introduced novel and reliable molecular method for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy detection and fast and streamlined bioinformatic assessment of FSHD regions using whole genome imaging data.

A new technique called microangioCT imaging is being used with a novel polymerizing contrast agent that enables 3D visualization of organ vasculature at unprecedented levels.

Petra Julia Koch and Paul Zaslansky (Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin) will discuss the importance of 3D data in current digital orthodontics applications and how clinical research can build on the data micro-CT can provide.

Candida albicans is the most common fungal species of humans, residing on the skin, in the gut, and in the oral cavity of humans. In most individuals, C. albicans exists as a commensal, interacting with other local microbes, and causing no harm.

Obesity is now known to be much more than a cosmetic problem with its association with a wide plethora of diseases ranging from heart disease to diabetes. MRI techniques, are increasingly being used to study various aspects of obesity.

Micro-CT is a powerful tool for the longitudinal monitoring of bones to acquire bone mass and architectural changes in 4D. It will also allow 4D longitudinal acquisition of bone remodelling events in the same bone.
