Quantitative analysis of hidden particles diffusing behind a scattering layer using speckle correlation
Authors Sarkar A, Wang I, Enderlein J, Derouard J, Delon A Journal Optics Express Citation Opt Express. 2020 Oct 26;28(22):32936-32954. Abstract Speckle-correlation imaging is a family of methods that makes use of the “memory effect” to image objects hidden behind visually opaque layers. Here, we show that a correlation analysis

World record resolution in cryo electron microscopy
Holger Stark and his team at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biophysical Chemistry have broken a crucial resolution barrier in cryo electron microscopy. The scientists succeeded in observing single atoms in a protein structure and taking the sharpest images ever with this method. Such unprecedented details are essential to

Coronavirus: Study finds further door opener into the cell
The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is known to infect cells via the receptor ACE2. An international research team under German-Finnish coordination has now identified neuropilin-1 as a factor that can facilitate SARS-CoV-2 entry into the cells’ interior. Neuropilin-1 is localized in the respiratory and olfactory epithelia, which could be a strategically important

Heterogeneous Idealization of Ion Channel Recordings — Open Channel Noise
Authors Pein F, Bartsch A, Steinem C, Munk A Journal IEEE Transactions on Nanobioscience Citation IEEE Trans Nanobioscience. 2020 Oct 14;PP. Abstract We propose a new model-free segmentation method for idealizing ion channel recordings. This method is designed to deal with heterogeneity of measurement errors. This in particular applies to
