Axial de-scanning using remote focusing in the detection arm of light-sheet microscopy

This paper introduces a novel optical design for axial de-scanning in light-sheet microscopy's detection arm, enabling aberration-free, multi-color volumetric imaging without sample translation.

Charophytic Green Algae encode ancestral Pol IV/Pol V subunits and a CLSY/DRD1 homolog

The paper identifies ancestral Pol IV/Pol V subunits and a CLSY/DRD1 homolog in Charophytic green algae, suggesting a single Pol V-like polymerase in early RdDM.

Signal Improved ultra-Fast Light-sheet Microscope (SIFT) for large tissue imaging

The paper introduces an improved light-sheet microscope that increases imaging speed and signal strength for large tissue samples.

Behavioral dissection of hunger states in Drosophila

The paper distinguishes hedonic and homeostatic hunger states in Drosophila by analyzing behaviors and neuronal activity, identifying the PAM to β MB circuit as involved in hedonic feeding motivation.

A single residue within the MCR-1 protein confers anticipatory resilience

This study identifies a single residue in MCR-1 that modulates its interaction with the ESR system, affecting colistin resistance and bacterial resilience to environmental stressors.

A Null Allele of the Pol IV Second Subunit is Viable in Oryza sativa

This study identifies a null allele of NRPD2 in Oryza sativa, showing it is essential for small RNA production and CHH methylation in leaves, but not for gametophytic function or embryo viability.

Embryo CHH hypermethylation is mediated by RdDM and is autonomously directed in Brassica rapa

This study shows that embryo CHH hypermethylation in Brassica rapa is autonomously controlled by RdDM and not influenced by maternal sporophyte factors.

Extended depth of focus multiphoton microscopy via incoherent pulse splitting

The paper introduces a phase mask to extend depth of focus in multiphoton microscopy with minimal lateral resolution loss and demonstrates its effectiveness in imaging fixed brain samples.

Converting lateral scanning into axial focusing to speed up 3D microscopy

This paper introduces an optical design that converts lateral scanning into axial focusing, enabling rapid, high-resolution 3D imaging with axially swept light-sheet microscopy.

Light-sheet microscopy with isotropic, sub-micron resolution and solvent-independent large-scale imaging

This paper introduces ctASLM, a light-sheet microscopy technique with sub-micron isotropic resolution and large-scale imaging, enabling automated cell and subcellular feature detection in cleared tissues.
