Published: June 2012

Multitemporal Association Tracking (MAT) is a new graph-based method for multitarget tracking in biological applications that reduces the error rate and implementation complexity compared to approaches based on bipartite matching. The data association problem is solved over a window of future detection data using a graph-based cost function that approximates the Bayesian a posteriori association probability. MAT has been applied to hundreds of image sequences, tracking organelle and vesicles to quantify the deficiencies in axonal transport that can accompany neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis and to quantify changes in transport in response to therapeutic interventions.

KIF1A, a neuron-specific Kinesin-3 motor, is indispensable for long-distance axonal transport and nuclear migration, processes vital for neuronal function. Using MINFLUX tracking, we reveal that KIF1A predominantly adopts a two-heads-bound state, even under ATP-limiting conditions, challenging prior models proposing a one-head-bound rate-limiting step. This two-heads-bound conformation, stabilized by interactions between the positively charged K-loop and negatively charged tubulin tails, enhances microtubule affinity and minimizes detachment.

The conserved MAP3K DLKs are widely known for their functions in synapse formation, axonal regeneration and degeneration, and neuronal survival, notably under traumatic injury and chronic disease conditions. In contrast, their roles in other neuronal compartments are much less explored. Through an unbiased forward genetic screening in C.

Distinct effects of glucocorticoid on pseudorabies virus infection in neuron-like and epithelial cells.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a porcine neurotropic alphaherpesvirus that infects peripheral tissues of its host, spreads into the nervous system, and establishes a life-long latency in neuronal cells. During productive infection, PRV replicates rapidly and causes pseudorabies or Aujeszky's disease. Reactivation from latent infection in the nervous system may lead to anterograde axonal transport of progeny virions, leading to recurrent infection of the epithelial layer and virus spread.

Anatomical and functional changes after internal limiting membrane peeling.

Surv Ophthalmol

January 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Electronic address:

Internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling has been an acceptable step in vitrectomy surgeries for various retinal diseases such as macular hole, chronic macular edema following epiretinal membrane (ERM), and vitreoretinal traction. Despite all the benefits, this procedure has some side effects, which may lead to structural damage and functional vision loss. Light and dye toxicity may induce reversible and irreversible retina damage, which will be observed in postoperative optical coherence tomography scans.

Synaptic Physiology Depends on Electrical Forces and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation.

Rev Physiol Biochem Pharmacol

January 2025

Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK.

Pre- and post-synaptic events are regulated by liquid-liquid phase separation and this phenomenon requires multiple electrical forces. Both axonal transport and the organization of postsynaptic excitatory and inhibitory receptors are regulated by LLPS, with its mandatory electrical drivers ultimately determining our cognitive health and capacity.
