Antigen properties shape organization of FcεRI aggregates to tune mast cell signaling

This study shows that antigen properties like valency and epitope spacing shape FcεRI aggregate structure, influencing mast cell signaling outcomes.

Robust, Fiducial-Free Drift Correction for Super-resolution Imaging

This paper introduces a drift correction method for super-resolution imaging that uses brightfield images and post-processing to correct drift without fiducials or specialized hardware.

Comparing Lifeact and Phalloidin for Super-resolution Imaging of Actin in Fixed Cells

This study compares Lifeact and Phalloidin for super-resolution imaging of actin in fixed cells, finding Lifeact offers comparable resolution with additional benefits.

Dectin-1 Molecular Aggregation and Signaling is Sensitive to β-Glucan Structure and Glucan Exposure on Candida albicans Cell Walls

This study shows that Dectin-1A signaling and molecular aggregation depend on β-glucan structure and exposure, with higher structured glucans inducing more receptor dimerization and signaling.

Sub-Nanometer Precision using Bayesian Grouping of Localizations

The paper introduces a Bayesian method to improve localization precision in single-molecule microscopy by grouping localizations from multiple blinking events.

Bayesian Multiple Emitter Fitting using Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo

The paper introduces a Bayesian method using Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo to fit multiple emitters in dense super-resolution imaging data, providing posterior distributions and model coordinates.

Mannan molecular sub-structures control nanoscale glucan exposure in Candida

This study shows that specific N-mannan features in Candida species regulate nanoscale glucan exposure, impacting immune recognition.
