Extrinsic polarity cues control lamination versus cluster-based organisation in vertebrate retinal development

This study shows that extrinsic polarity cues determine whether retinal organoids develop a laminated epithelium or cluster-based organization, revealing plasticity in vertebrate retinal development.

Enzyme-functionalized microparticles to open the vitreoretinal interface

This study demonstrates enzyme-functionalized microparticles that locally open the inner limiting membrane to enhance nanoparticle transport to retinal tissue in a porcine model.

Integrative Imaging of Lung Micro Structure: Amplifying Classical Histology by Paraffin Block μCT and same-slide Scanning Electron Microscopy

The paper develops an integrative imaging pipeline combining micro-CT and scanning electron microscopy with histology to enhance lung tissue analysis by adding 3D context and ultrastructural details.
