Insulin Injection and Hemolymph Extraction to Measure Insulin Sensitivity in Adult Drosophila melanogaster

Conserved insulin signaling pathways found in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster make this organism a potential tool for modeling metabolic disorders including type II diabetes. To this end, it is critical to establish physiological assays to effectively measure systemic insulin action in peripheral glucose disposal in the adult...

An Assay to Detect Autoantibodies in Human Serum using a Hippocampal Neuronal Culture

This video demonstrates a technique for identifying antibodies against specific antigens in a sample using a rat hippocampal neuronal culture. By exposing cultured neurons to patient samples containing autoantibodies targeting N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), the presence of autoantibodies bound to the neuronal surface is revealed through...
