- We propose a method that uses computer imaging to reconstruct the spatial phase distribution from multiple out-of-focus images.
- The technique is safe, noninvasive, cost-effective, and can be done with a basic optical system and an ordinary camera, eliminating the need for complex detection methods.
Article Abstract
Tissues are characterized by a strong scattering of visible optical radiation, which prevents one from achieving deep-tissue imaging. We propose a computational imaging technique for the inference of specific macroscopic, spatial phase distribution features of the scattering media. The spatial phase distribution is reconstructed from several defocused intensity images. We empirically demonstrate the method by reconstructing the location of two fibula chicken bones, embedded within chicken breast tissue. The suggested technique is safe, using visible laser illumination, and noninvasive. It is also cost-effective since a simple optical system is used and the images are acquired using a conventional camera, and it does not require interferometric detection as well as direct access to the object in absence of the layer.

Ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) enables microvascular imaging at spatial resolutions beyond the acoustic diffraction limit, offering significant clinical potentials. However, ULM performance relies heavily on microbubble (MB) signal sparsity, the number of detected MBs, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), all of which vary in clinical scenarios involving bolus MB injections. These sources of variations underscore the need to optimize MB dosage, data acquisition timing, and imaging settings in order to standardize and optimize ULM of microvasculature.

The limited spatial complexity of existing models, however, poses a challenge to mechanistic studies attempting to approve existing approaches of effector cell-mediated cytotoxicity within a three-dimensional, solid tumor-like environment. To gain additional experimental control, we developed an approach for constructing three-dimensional (3D) culture models using smart polymers that form temperature responsive hydrogels.

While this period of beta cell dysfunction is well established, its cause and underlying mechanism remain unknown. To address this knowledge gap, live human pancreas tissue slices were prepared from autoantibody- negative organ donors without diabetes (ND), donors positive for one or more islet autoantibodies (AAb+), and donors with T1D within 0-4 years of diagnosis (T1D+).

Accurate and reliable depiction of individualized functional connectivity patterns during infancy is crucial for advancing our understanding of individual uniqueness and variability of the intrinsic functional architecture during dynamic early brain development, as well as its role in neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the highly dynamic and rapidly developing nature of the infant brain presents significant challenges in capturing robust and stable functional fingerprint, resulting in low accuracy in individual identification over ages during infancy using functional connectivity.

Article Synopsis
- All-solid-state lithium metal batteries are promising for high energy density and safety, but issues like voids at the anode/electrolyte interface during lithium stripping can hurt stability.
- Stack pressure and operating temperature can induce creep deformation in lithium metal, potentially improving interfacial issues caused by these voids, although understanding of these effects is still lacking.
- A new coupled model (EDMP-VE) has been developed to study the influence of pressure and temperature on void evolution, showing that higher conditions can enhance void healing and stabilize interfaces by reducing void expansion and promoting filling.
