Quantifying fluorescence lifetime responsiveness of environment sensitive probes for membrane fluidity measurements

The paper quantifies how fluorescence lifetime responds to environmental changes in membrane order probes and highlights their sensitivity to biophysical properties.

Mechanical forces at the kidney filtration barrier govern spatial orientation of podocyte processes on capillaries

This study shows that podocyte processes align along the capillary axis to balance mechanical strain during kidney filtration.

Three-dimensional Super-resolved Imaging of Paraffin-embedded Kidney Samples

This paper develops protocols for three-dimensional STED and confocal imaging of FFPE kidney tissue, achieving similar staining and image quality as previous methods.

Deep learning-based segmentation and quantification of podocyte foot process morphology

This paper develops a deep learning method to segment and quantify podocyte foot process morphology in kidney tissue, confirming morphological changes in disease states.

The extinction and survival of sharks across the end-Cretaceous mass extinction

This study examines dental morphology changes in sharks across the end-Cretaceous extinction, finding static disparity in most clades but selective extinctions in apex predators and post-extinction disparity shifts in some lineages.

Dental ontogeny in the most primitive bony fish Lophosteus reveals the developmental relationship between teeth and dermal odontodes

The paper uses synchrotron microtomography to study the ontogeny of teeth and dermal odontodes in Lophosteus superbus, revealing their developmental relationship and shared regulatory mechanisms.
