Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a powerful technique for studying biological processes. There exists a growing interest in developing strategies to enhance throughput and reduce acquisition time of FLIM systems, which commonly employ laser scanning excitation and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) detection. In this work, we propose a wide-field FLIM microscope based on compressive sensing and high photon rate detection (beyond pile-up limit) based on a high-efficiency silicon photomultiplier detector as a single-pixel camera.

Marine life is populated by a huge diversity of organisms with an incredible range of colour. While structural colour mechanisms and functions are usually well studied in marine animal species, there is a huge knowledge gap regarding the marine macroalgae (red, green and brown seaweeds) that have structural coloration and the biological significance of this phenomenon in these photosynthetic organisms. Here we show that structural colour in the gametophyte life history phase of the red alga plays an important role as a photoprotective mechanism in synergy with the other pigments present.

Article Synopsis
  • - The research discusses the creation of artificial biomaterials that can impact biological responses in living systems by assembling supramolecular structures.
  • - A specific molecule, DTTO, forms unique fibers within cells, demonstrating a "biologically assisted" polymorphic structure that shows distinct morphological, optical, and electrical features.
  • - The study highlights the importance of cellular processes in fiber formation and suggests new ways to explore life beyond traditional cellular components, opening the door for innovative applications in biotechnology.

Meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) is used in nuclear medicine as ligand for preparation of diagnostic and therapy radiopharmaceuticals. DMSA has been the subject of numerous investigations during the past three decades and new and significant information of the chemistry and pharmacology of DMSA complexes have emerged. In comparison to other ligands, the structure of some DMSA complexes is unclear up today.
