Article Synopsis
- - Light-field fluorescence microscopy allows for quick 3D imaging but struggles with low contrast due to background noise from broad illumination techniques.
- - The new method, selective volume illumination microscopy (SVIM), focuses the light only on the area of interest, effectively reducing background and significantly improving image contrast.
- - SVIM has been successfully used to create detailed 3D movies of bacteria in seawater and monitor heartbeats and brain activity in larval zebrafish, showcasing its potential for dynamic biological studies at a cellular level.
Sustaining a balanced intestinal microbial community is critical for maintaining intestinal health and preventing chronic inflammation. The gut is a highly dynamic environment, subject to periodic waves of peristaltic activity. We hypothesized that this dynamic environment is a prerequisite for a balanced microbial community and that the enteric nervous system (ENS), a chief regulator of physiological processes within the gut, profoundly influences gut microbiota composition.
