Comparative studies between the one- and two-color microarrays provide supportive evidence for similarities of results on differential gene expression. So far, no design comparisons between the two platforms have been undertaken. With the objective of comparing optimal designs of one- and two-color microarrays in their statistical efficiencies, techniques of design optimization were applied within a mixed model framework. A- and D-optimal designs for the one- and two-color platforms were sought for a 3 x 3 factorial experiment. The results suggest that the choice of the platform will not affect the "subjects to groups" allocation, being concordant in the two designs. However, under financial constraints, the two-color arrays are expected to have a slight upper hand in terms of efficiency of model parameters estimates, once the price of arrays is more expensive than that of subjects. This statement is especially valid for microarray studies envisaging class comparisons.

Dynamic Monitoring of Organelle Interactions in Living Cells via Two-Color Digitally Enhanced Stimulated Emission Depletion Super-resolution Microscopy.

One of the most significant advances in stimulated emission depletion (STED) super-resolution microscopy is its capacity for dynamic super-resolution imaging of living cells, including the long-term tracking of interactions between various cells or organelles. Consequently, the multicolor STED plays a pivotal role in biological research. Despite the emergence of numerous fluorescent probes characterized by low toxicity, high stability, high brightness, and exceptional specificity, enabling dynamic imaging of living cells with multicolor STED, practical implementation of multicolor STED for live-cell imaging is influenced by several factors.

Ocular biometric responses to simulated polychromatic defocus.

J Vis

November 2024

Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA.

Evidence from human studies of ocular accommodation and studies of animals reared in monochromatic conditions suggest that chromatic signals can guide ocular growth. We hypothesized that ocular biometric response in humans can be manipulated by simulating the chromatic contrast differences associated with imposition of optical defocus. The red, green, and blue (RGB) channels of an RGB movie of the natural world were individually incorporated with computational defocus to create two different movie stimuli.

We analyze parametric χ processes in equidistant finite-size arrays of thin-film lithium niobate waveguides, where the fundamental harmonic (FH) field supports topological edge states due to the specific interplay between inter- and intra-modal couplings of two families of guided modes, while the second-harmonic (SH) field only supports bulk modes. Regimes of topological parametric gain are identified, where the gain only occurs in the edge states of the FH field, regardless of the spatial distribution of the pump SH field. The topological gain of the FH component generally triggers localization of the SH field near an edge of the array in the optical parametric oscillation dynamics.

Article Synopsis
  • Long-term single-molecule fluorescence measurements are crucial for studying the conformational dynamics of biomolecules in real-time, but analyzing thousands of traces is labor-intensive and prone to user bias.* -
  • The study introduces DEBRIS, a deep learning model designed to automatically classify single-molecule fluorescence traces by identifying various signal patterns, including steady and dynamic signals.* -
  • DEBRIS can accurately classify one-color and two-color fluorescence events, adapt to user-defined criteria, and is the first model to distinguish four different event types using a single trained framework, showcasing its versatility in research.*

A method of choice to study the spatio-temporal dynamics of bacterial cell growth and division is to analyze the localization of cell wall synthesis regions by fluorescence microscopy. For this, nascent cell wall biopolymers need to be labeled with fluorescent reporters, like fluorescent d-alanines (FDAs) that can be incorporated into the peptidoglycan. To achieve high spatial and temporal resolution, dense, high-intensity fluorescence labeling must be obtained in the shortest possible time.
