Microplastics reach the brain and interfere with honey bee cognition

This study investigates the effects of microplastics on honey bee cognition and shows that they can reach the brain and impair learning and memory.

Fiber enhancement and 3D orientation analysis inlabel-free two-photon fluorescence microscopy

The paper introduces a novel image processing pipeline for 3D fiber orientation analysis in fluorescence microscopy, enhancing fiber structures and producing accurate orientation maps without exogenous staining.

Fast volumetric mapping of human brain slices

The paper develops a method to create detailed volumetric maps of human brain slices using clearing techniques, light sheet microscopy, and machine learning for neuronal connectivity analysis.

3D imaging and morphometry of the heart capillary system in spontaneously hypertensive rats and normotensive controls

This study uses 3D imaging to analyze capillary network remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats, finding increased density and dispersion before hypertension onset.
