Pregnancy loss is a devastating event and whilst conventional autopsy techniques can provide parents with answers as to the cause of their loss, many decline due to its invasive nature. We describe micro-CT as an alternative to conventional autopsy and why this is more acceptable to parents.

Systematic assays suitable for use with peptide arrays are described in this protocol to evaluate biological activities associated with host defense peptides (HDPs), such as biofilm inhibition and/or immunomodulatory properties.

An optical Brillouin microscope can quantify the mechanical properties of biological materials in 3D.
