In early September, Senior Liaison and Development Scientist, Catherine Thomas, PhD, was privileged to join forces with our newest European distributor, Green Leaf Scientific at the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) 2023 meeting in Granada, Spain. The event was attended by over 5000 neuroscientists from a wide variety of different...
Check out this recent work by Abdulkadir Mohamed of the Masuda-Nakagawa Lab at the University of Cambridge using the Polygon for patterned photostimulation. This work was published in Frontiers in Physiology. We are excited to see the broad range of applications of the Mightex Polygon across various research areas! Read more
Check out this recent publication using the Polygon 1000! The paper outlines research by Michael B. sheets, Nathan Tague, and Mary J. Dunlop from Boston University using the Polygon to develop an optogenetic toolbox for inducing antibiotic resistance using 463nm light. We are excited to see more to come using...
Check out this recent publication using the Polygon 1000! The paper outlines research by Jocelyn Kishi, Ninning Liu, Emma R. West, and colleagues from Harvard University using the Polygon for UV photocross-linking for a novel method of DNA barcoding. We are excited to see more to come using the LightSeq...

Our team has been busy meeting with our neuroscience and cell biology research communities at the Society for Neuroscience and American Cell Biology conferences this fall! Check out this blog post to learn more about their conference experiences and the Mightex products showcased at these conferences.
Check out this recent publication using the OASIS Implant! The paper outlines research by Huanhuan Li and colleagues from Geoff Lau's lab at the City University of Hong Kong. The limbic system, including the lateral septum (LS), plays a crucial role in mood disorders, such as depression. However, the role of...
Photopatterning with mercaptopropylsilatrane (MPS) and the Polygon 1000
Check out this Polygon 1000 customer highlight focused on Mark Mittmoen. Mark is a doctoral student in Dr. Ofer Kedem's lab at Marquette University. He uses UV and visible light with the Polygon 1000 to create highly complex photopatterns. Mark recently published his work on this topic in ACS Applied...
In vivo calcium imaging of somatostatin positive neurons during social interaction tasks
Check out this OASIS Implant customer highlight focused on Huanhuan Li. Huanhuan spoke with Mightex Applications Scientist, Dr Catherine Thomas, about his doctoral work using the OASIS Implant to conduct in vivo Ca2+ imaging of somatostatin-expressing cell activity in the cingulate cortex during social interaction test in freely moving mice.
