Architecture-driven quantitative nanoscopy maps cytoskeleton remodeling.

Cytoskeleton remodeling which generates force and orchestrates signaling and trafficking to govern cell migration remains poorly understood, partly due to a lack of an investigation tool with high system flexibility, spatiotemporal resolution, and computational sensitivity. Herein, we developed a multimodal superresolution imaging system-based architecture-driven quantitative (ADQ) framework in spatiotemporal-angular hyperspace to enable both identification of the optimal imaging mode with well-balanced fidelity and phototoxicity and accurate postcharacterization of microtubule remodeling. In the ADQ framework, a pixel/voxel-wise metric reflecting heterogeneous intertubule alignment was proposed with improved sensitivity over previous efforts and further incorporated with temporal features to map dynamic microtubule rearrangements.

miR-21-Mediated Endothelial Senescence and Dysfunction Are Involved in Cigarette Smoke-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension through Activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling.

Smoking is a pathogenic factor for pulmonary hypertension (PH). Our previous study showed that serum miR-21 levels are elevated in smokers. miR-21 is considered as engaged in the PH process; however, its mechanisms remain unclear.

Untrained neural network enabling fast and universal structured-illumination microscopy.

Structured-illumination microscopy (SIM) offers a twofold resolution enhancement beyond the optical diffraction limit. At present, SIM requires several raw structured-illumination (SI) frames to reconstruct a super-resolution (SR) image, especially the time-consuming reconstruction of speckle SIM, which requires hundreds of SI frames. Considering this, we herein propose an untrained structured-illumination reconstruction neural network (USRNN) with known illumination patterns to reduce the amount of raw data that is required for speckle SIM reconstruction by 20 times and thus improve its temporal resolution.

Oral microbiota-host interaction: the chief culprit of alveolar bone resorption.

There exists a bidirectional relationship between oral health and general well-being, with an imbalance in oral symbiotic flora posing a threat to overall human health. Disruptions in the commensal flora can lead to oral diseases, while systemic illnesses can also impact the oral cavity, resulting in the development of oral diseases and disorders. and , known as pathogenic bacteria associated with periodontitis, play a crucial role in linking periodontitis to accompanying systemic diseases.

MXene: A wonderful nanomaterial in antibacterial.

Increasing bacterial infections and growing resistance to available drugs pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. Although antibiotics are crucial in fighting bacterial infections, their excessive use not only weakens our immune system but also contributes to bacterial resistance. These negative effects have caused doctors to be troubled by the clinical application of antibiotics.

Deep learning enables contrast-robust super-resolution reconstruction in structured illumination microscopy.

Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is a powerful technique for super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction. However, conventional SIM methods require high-contrast illumination patterns, which necessitate precision optics and highly stable light sources. To overcome these challenges, we propose a new method called contrast-robust structured illumination microscopy (CR-SIM).
