An emerging application of mid-IR spectrochemical imaging of the retina is its utility in studying the highly localized biomolecular alterations in the chemistry of retinal cell layers associated with several pathological conditions. Spatially resolved IR images highlight simultaneous chemical composition of the entire span of the retina in a label-free manner.

Small-molecule fluorophores are invaluable tools for fluorescence imaging. However, means for their covalent conjugation to the target proteins limit applications in multicolor imaging. Here, we identify 2-[(alkylhio)(ryl)ethylene]alononitrile (TAMM) molecules reacting with 1,2-aminothiol at a labeling rate over 10 M s through detailed mechanistic investigation.

Controlled high-order clustering of cell-surface proteins is an essential but unmatched regulatory mechanism in living systems for the modulation of cell behavior. Here, we present a strategy for generating extended and tunable one-dimensional clusters of death receptors on live cell surfaces by employing synthetic peptides to noncovalently bridging the proteins. The on-cell assembly process is validated through super-resolution fluorescence imaging and fluorescence lifetime imaging analyses.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) technologies are widely used today to study the in situ spatial distributions for a variety of analytes. As these technologies advance, the pursuit of higher resolution in MSI has intensified. The limitation of direct desorption/ionization is its insufficient ionization, posing a constraint on the advancement of high-resolution MSI technologies.

Dietary fiber (DF)-based interventions are crucial in establishing a health-promoting gut microbiota. However, directly investigating DFs' in vivo interactions with intestinal bacteria remains challenging due to the lack of suitable tools. Here, we develop an in vivo metabolic labeling-based strategy, which enables not only imaging and identifying the bacteria that bind with specific DF in the intestines, but also quantifying DF's impact on their metabolic status.

Acquiring detailed spatial information about intratumor microbiota in situ is challenging, which leaves 3D distributions of microbiota within entire tumors largely unexplored. Here, a modified iDISCO-CUBIC tissue clearing and D-amino acid microbiome labeling-based (miCDaL) strategy are proposed, that integrates microbiota in situ labeling, tissue clearing, and whole-mount tissue imaging to enable 3D visualization of indigenous intratumor microbiota. Leveraging whole-mount spatial resolution and centimeter-scale imaging depth, the 3D biogeography of microbiota is successfully charted across various tumors at different developmental stages, providing quantitative spatial insights in relation to host tumors.
