Authors Soltanipour M, Nagel A, Willig KI, Wolf F Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2026.08.27.747454. Abstract The size, shape, and nanoscale organization of synaptic spines are predictive of physiological synaptic strength and thus key to connectome-based neural circuit models. In the intact brain, spine size and shape undergo continuous morphological remodeling.

Abstract The human heart has a continuous and exceptionally high demand for energy, which is met

Authors Marx D, Malsbenden D, Gligonov I, Wöll D, Enderlein J, Nevskyi O Journal ChemRxiv Citation ChemRxiv. 18 August 2026. Abstract Fluorescence lifetimes near dielectric interfaces depend on molecular dipole orientation, but this relationship becomes more complex when emitters are confined within finite nanoscopic films. Here, we combine radially polarized

Authors Dennerlein S, Rehling P Journal Protein Science Citation Protein Sci. 2026 Sep;35(9):e70763. Abstract Metabolic cues regulate the formation of the mitochondrial OXPHOS machinery. These regulatory processes are tightly linked to mitochondrial translation, proteolytic degradation of unassembled subunits, and the formation of supercomplexes, creating checkpoints at which nutrient availability, oxygen

Authors Shaib AH, Alawieh MM, Rizzoli SO Journal Nature Protocols Citation Nat Protoc. 2026 Aug 11. Abstract The introduction of expansion microscopy (ExM), a decade ago, marked a shift in super-resolution imaging, by physically separating fluorophores to bypass the diffraction limit. Numerous ExM developments have extended the method’s reach since,
