Model-free phasor image analysis, well established in fluorescence lifetime imaging and only recently applied to qMRI [Formula: see text] data processing, is here adapted and validated for myocardial qMRI [Formula: see text] mapping. Contrarily to routine mono-exponential fitting procedures, phasor enables mapping the lifetime information from all image voxels to a single plot, without resorting to any regression fitting analysis, and describing multi-exponential qMRI decays without biases due to violated modelling assumptions. In this feasibility study, we test the performance of our recently developed full-harmonics phasor method for unravelling partial-volume effects, motion or pathological tissue alteration, respectively on a numerically-simulated dataset, a healthy subject scan, and two pilot patient datasets. Our results show that phasor analysis can be used, as alternative method to fitting analysis or other model-free approaches, to identify motion artifacts or partial-volume effects at the myocardium-blood interface as characteristic deviations, or delineations of scar and remote myocardial tissue in patient data.

Assessing membrane protein stability is among the major challenges in protein science due to their inherent complexity, which complicates the application of conventional biophysical tools. In this work, sodium dodecyl sulfate-induced denaturation of AfCopA, a Cu(I)-transport ATPase from Archaeoglobus fulgidus, was explored using a combined model-free spectral phasor analysis and a model-dependent thermodynamic analysis. Decrease in tryptophan and 1-anilino-naphthalene-8-sulfonate fluorescence intensity, displacements in the spectral phasor space, and the loss of ATPase activity were reversibly induced by this detergent.

Spectrally-resolved single-molecule localization microscopy (srSMLM) has emerged as a powerful tool for exploring the spectral properties of single emitters in localization microscopy. By simultaneously capturing the spatial positions and spectroscopic signatures of individual fluorescent molecules, srSMLM opens up the possibility of investigating an additional dimension in super-resolution imaging. However, appropriate and dedicated tools are required to fully capitalize on the spectral dimension.

Over the past decade, the utilization of advanced fluorescence microscopy technologies has presented numerous opportunities to study or re-investigate autofluorescent molecules and harmonic generation signals as molecular biomarkers and biosensors for in vivo cell and tissue studies. The label-free approaches benefit from the endogenous fluorescent molecules within the cell and take advantage of their spectroscopy properties to address biological questions. Harmonic generation can be used as a tool to identify the occurrence of fibrillar or lipid deposits in tissues, by using second and third-harmonic generation microscopy.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the fluorescence kinetics of LH2 complexes, utilizing a recently resolved cryo-EM structure.
- Instead of typical fitting methods, a phasor formalism was used to analyze transient data, identifying three lifetime components associated with different processes.
- The analysis suggested that energy transfer pathways within the LH2 complex vary depending on whether B800 BChl molecules or carotenoids are excited, and it raised questions about the potential impact of strong laser illumination on the complexes' configurations.
