Abstract Background and objectives: Pediatric onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) leads to optic

Authors Chowdhury R, Mimoso T, Chouaib AA, Mougios N, Krah D, Opazo F, Köster S, Rizzoli SO, Shaib AH Journal Communications Biology Citation Commun Biol. 2025 Mar 26;8(1):499. Abstract Expansion microscopy (ExM) is continually improving, and new ExM variants need to be validated on well-defined biological structures. There is no

Authors Buglakova E, Archit A, D’Imprima E, Mahamid J, Pape C, Kreshuk A Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2503.19545. Abstract Segmentation of very large images is a common problem in microscopy, medical imaging or remote sensing. The problem is usually addressed by sliding window inference, which can theoretically lead to seamlessly stitched

Authors Georgiev SV, Rizzoli SO Journal Scientific Reports Citation Sci Rep 15, 10093 (2025). Abstract Neuronal communication relies on synaptic vesicle recycling, which has long been investigated by live imaging approaches. Synapto-pHluorins, genetically encoded reporters that incorporate a pH-sensitive variant of GFP within the lumen of the synaptic vesicle, have

Abstract Heterogeneity in synaptic strength and short-term plasticity (STP) was characterized in post-hearing rat calyx of Held synapses at near-physiological external [Ca2+] under control conditions and

Authors Lange F, Ratz M, Dohrke JN, Wenzel D, Ilgen P, Riedel D, Jakobs S Journal Nature Cell Biology Citation Nat Cell Biol (2025). Abstract Prohibitins are a highly conserved family of proteins that have been implicated in a variety of functions including mitochondrial stress signalling and housekeeping, cell cycle

Authors Thirumalai A, Henseler J, Enayati M, Kusch K, Hessler R, Moser T, Huet AT Journal Theranostics Citation Theranostics 2025; 15(10):4270-4286. Abstract Optogenetic stimulation has become a promising approach for restoring lost body function. For example, partial restoration of vision has been achieved in a blind patient and preclinical proof-of-concept
