The combination of light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) and the optical clearing method can achieve fast three-dimensional high-resolution imaging. However, there is an essential contradiction between the field of view (FoV) and spatial resolution. Also, aberration and scattering still exist after tissue clearing, which seriously limits the imaging depth of LSFM. Here we propose a Schwartz modulation method and implement it in LSFM based on a quasi-Bessel beam to enlarge the imaging FoV without sacrificing its spatial resolution. The simulation results show that the FoV of the LSFM is enlarged by a factor of 1.73 compared to the Bessel beam. The capability of extremely fast decay along the optical axis makes Schwartz modulation more tolerant for scattering, indicating potential applications for deep tissue imaging. Also, the capability of sidelobe suppression effectively decreases unnecessary fluorescence excitation and photobleaching.

Introduction: Novel approaches to improve long-term outcomes in kidney transplant recipients are required. Here, we present the 5-year data from a multicenter, prospective, Phase 3b trial evaluating treatment outcomes with standard (STD) or low (LOW) dose prolonged-release tacrolimus (TAC) combined with ACEi/ARB or other antihypertensive therapy (OAHT) in Canadian kidney transplant recipients.
Methods: Adult de novo kidney transplant recipients were randomized 2 × 2 to STD or LOW dose TAC and ACEi/ARB or OAHT.

: This study explores the generation of singlet oxygen (SO) through methylene blue (MB) activation as a metabolic intervention for ovarian cancer. We aimed to examine the role of SO in modulating mitochondrial function, cellular metabolism, and proliferation in ovarian cancer cell lines compared to control cells. : The study utilized two ovarian cancer cell lines, OV1369-R2 and TOV1369, along with ARPE-19 control cells.

African American (AA) women are disproportionately affected by obesity and hyperlipidemia, particularly in the setting of adverse social determinants of health (aSDoH) that contribute to health disparities. Obesity, hyperlipidemia, and aSDoH appear to impair NK cells. As potential common underlying mechanisms are largely unknown, we sought to investigate common signaling pathways involved in NK cell dysfunction related to obesity and hyperlipidemia in AA women from underresourced neighborhoods.

As major adhesion receptors, integrins transmit biochemical and mechanical signals across the plasma membrane. These functions are regulated by transitions between bent and extended conformations and modulated by force. To understand how force on integrins mediates cellular mechanosensing, we compared two highly homologous integrins, αβ and αβ.
