Area of Science:

  • Development of novel research tools for developmental biology and immunology.

Background:

  • Zebrafish embryos are ideal for noninvasive intravital imaging due to their transparency.
  • Microfluidic devices facilitate long-term imaging of zebrafish but traditional fabrication is complex and costly.
  • Accessible fabrication methods are needed to broaden the use of these imaging techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a low-cost, accessible microfluidic device for long-term zebrafish embryo imaging.
  • To enable detailed observation of fundamental biological processes like wound healing and immune cell migration.

Main Methods:

  • Adapted a low-cost polyethylene terephthalate lamination method for microfluidic device fabrication.
  • Designed the Rotational Assistant for Danio Imaging of Subsequent Healing (RADISH) device.
  • Utilized the RADISH device for drug treatment, manual wounding, and imaging of up to four zebrafish embryos simultaneously.

Main Results:

  • Successfully captured calcium signaling dynamics around laser ablation and transection wounds within 2 hours post-injury.
  • Monitored neutrophil recruitment to wound sites for up to 24 hours.
  • Demonstrated the device's capability for long-term, multi-embryo imaging and experimental manipulation.

Conclusions:

  • The RADISH device offers an accessible and cost-effective alternative for microfluidic fabrication.
  • This method significantly lowers the technical barrier for intravital imaging of zebrafish embryos.
  • Facilitates advanced research into wound healing and immune responses in a developmental context.
