video: Z-stack through D8-corticosterone treated adipocytes using Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS). Video of z-stack images obtained using CARS through SGBS human adipocytes. Resonance of C-H bonds abundant in lipids represented in red, C-D resonance from D8-corticosterone represented in green. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Aug. 17, 2016, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by M. Nixon at University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh, UK, and colleagues was titled, 'ABCC1 confers tissue-specific sensitivity to cortisol versus corticosterone: A rationale for safer glucocorticoid replacement therapy.' view more
