Detection of CB6 in Xenon/Oxygen Ventilated Rat SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATION PROJECT Project Overview Dr. Mitchell Albert’s lab at the Thunder Bay Regional Research Institute performed experiments where a rat was mechanically ventilated with an 80% Xenon and 20% Oxygen mixture after cucurbituril (CB6) cages were injected into the rat through its tail vein. As Xenon particles…
Atomic Force Spectroscopy Binding and Dissociation SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATION PROJECT Project Overview Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a useful technique that gives us the power to image nanoscale structures by measuring surface topography. Due to its wide range of applications, different accessories have been developed to obtain additional information regarding these structures. One of these spin-offs…
Hyperpolarized Xenon MRI with Cucurbiturils SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATION PROJECT Project Overview Dr. Mitchell Albert’s lab in the Thunder Bay Regional Research Institute required a scientific schematic drawn up for their experimental procedures and results. We drew a scientific illustration of hyperpolarized Xenon MRI with cucurbiturils (CB6), with the left side representing the control (Xenon with CB6) and…
Mechanism of Amyloid Fibril Formation SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATION PROJECT Project Overview Alzheimer’s Disease is a devastating neurological disorder that afflicts a growing geriatric population. Currently, no cure is available, but research has shown that AD neurodegeneration is linked to the formation of plaques formed by amyloid-beta oligomers and fibrils. Each of these components can interact with…
