Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) can be used to qualitatively or quantitatively recognize analytes involving peptides, proteins, or small molecules. The IHC technique can link to molecular imaging, bioinformatics analysis, artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods, therapeutic targeting with brain therapy, and basic research in brain diseases. Advances in IHC-related applications enable early detection and precise treatment in disease management. This Topic aims to apply cutting-edge research into multidisciplinary frontier viewpoints to various novelty concerns and provide insights into clinical issues underlying recent advances in aspects of disease treatment. Authors are invited to submit both reviews and original articles to our Topic collection. Potential subject include, but are not limited to:

  1. Biomarkers or risk factors involving neuroinflammation or mitochondrial function in cell-to-animal innovative research of disease;
  2. Diagnostic strategies targeting various brain diseases;
  3. Molecular imaging that can reflect or predict disease development;
  4. Bench-to-bedside applications to disease diagnosis, treatment, and clinical outcome, including IHC-based molecular or pharmacological interventions;
  5. Biocybernetics and big data processing of large databases and genomics interactions using bioinformatics approaches;
  6. Label the biomarkers for targeting brain diseases.

The preparation and processing of rodent brains for evaluation by immunohistochemistry is time-consuming. A large number of mouse brains are routinely used in experiments in neuroscience laboratories to evaluate several models of human diseases. Thus, methods are needed to reduce the time associated with processing brains for histology. A scalable method was developed to embed, section, and stain multiple mouse brains using supplies found in any common histology laboratory. Section collection schemes can be scaled to provide identical bregma locations between adjacent sections for immunohistochemistry, facilitating comprehensive, high-quality immunohistochemistry. As a result, sectioning and staining times are considerably reduced as sections from multiple blocks are stained simultaneously. This method improves on previous procedures and allows multiple embedding and subsequent immunostaining of brains easily with a dramatically reduced time requirement. Furthermore, we expand this method for use in numerous mouse tissues, rat brain tissue, and post-mortem human brain and arterial tissues. In summary, this procedure allows the processing of many rodent or human tissues from perfusion through microscopy in 10 days or less. Full article
