Controlling the kinetics and gelation of photopolymerization is a significant challenge in the fabrication of complex three-dimensional (3D) objects as is critical in numerous imaging, lithography, and additive manufacturing techniques. We propose a novel, visible light sensitive "photoinitibitor" which simultaneously generates two distinct radicals, each with their own unique purpose-one radical each for initiation and inhibition. The Janus-faced functions of this photoinitibitor delay gelation and dramatically amplify the gelation time difference between the constructive and destructive interference regions of the exposed holographic pattern. This approach enhances the photopolymerization induced phase separation of liquid crystal/acrylate resins and the formation of fine holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal (HPDLC) gratings. Moreover, we construct colored 3D holographic images that are visually recognizable to the naked eye under white light.

Automated high-resolution 3D inspection methods for sealant applications in aerospace based on line structured light.

Gluing is a critical step in aircraft sealing assembly, with glue profile inspection serving as the final quality assurance measure to ensure consistency and accuracy of the sealant coating, allowing timely detection and correction of defects to maintain assembly integrity and safety. Currently, existing glue inspection systems are limited to basic inspection capabilities, lack result digitization, and exhibit low efficiency. This paper proposes a 3D inspection technology for sealant coating quality based on line-structured light, enabling automated and high-precision inspection of sealant thickness, sealant width, positional accuracy, and overlap joint sealant contour through geometric computation.

Purpose: Because chickens have excellent light perception properties, this study focused on investigating whether monochromatic light can cause photodamage in chicken retinal ganglion cells (RGCs).
Methods: Post-hatching day chickens were exposed to four different light-emitting diode light environments for five weeks, respectively, monochromatic blue light (480 nm), green light (560 nm), red light (660 nm), or white light (6000 K). The mechanisms through which monochromatic light influences the structure of the chicken retina were analyzed by detecting the morphological structure of the retina, gene and protein expression levels, and the ultrastructure of the optic nerve.
A Penetrable AAV2 Capsid Variant for Efficient Intravitreal Gene Delivery to the Retina.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify a novel recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) capsid variant that can widely transfect the deep retina through intravitreal injection and to assess their effectiveness and safety in gene delivery.
Methods: By adopting the sequences of various cell-penetrating peptides and inserting them into the capsid modification region of AAV2, we generated several novel variants. The green fluorescent protein (GFP)-carrying variants were screened following intravitreal injection.
StarTrack: Mapping Cellular Fates with Inheritable Color Codes.

StarTrack is a powerful multicolor genetic tool designed to unravel cellular lineages arising from neural progenitor cells (NPCs). This innovative technique, based on retrospective clonal analysis and built upon the PiggyBac system, creates a unique and inheritable "color code" within NPCs. Through the stochastic integration of 12 distinct plasmids encoding six fluorescent proteins, StarTrack enables precise and comprehensive tracking of cellular fates and progenitor potentials.

Lineage tracing based on modern live imaging approaches enables to visualize, reconstruct, and analyze the developmental history, fate, and dynamic behaviors of cells in vivo in a direct, comprehensive, and quantitative manner. Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) has greatly boosted lineage tracing efforts, because fluorescently labeled specimens can be imaged in their entirety, over long periods of time, with high spatiotemporal resolution and minimal photodamage. In addition, an increasing arsenal of commercial and open-source software solutions for cell and nuclei segmentation and tracking can be employed to convert data from pixel-based to object-based representations, and to reconstruct the lineages of cells in their native context as they organize in tissues, organs, and whole organisms.
