• Outdated cell media led to unhappy cells. Thus causing odd perfora=ons and leaking (Italian) • Ways to bexer the technique in the future... -‐ Regular Aß42 Ca2+ indicator: Trying different laser and camera seungs, like recording =mes… maybe try shorter videos or longer ones? -‐ Ca2+ indicator+MßCD: 1mM might have been too weak. So try higher concentra=on. Also maybe try differently =med video segments and seungs. (Wash off to reduce binding to Aß?)
-‐ Ca2+ indicator+Dynasore: Trouble going into solu=on… might be dissolved bexer by lowering concentra=on slightly. Also, try with iItalian also?. Faster aggrega=on might show interes=ng fluorescence. -‐ Ca2+ indicator Italian: Trying different laser and camera seungs, like recording =mes… maybe try shorter videos or longer ones.
