Adaptive motility enables neutrophils to rapidly navigate confined capillaries

This study shows neutrophils maintain high migration speed in capillaries of varying sizes by adapting their actomyosin cytoskeleton via the ROCK-MyoII pathway, preventing vascular obstruction.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of hydrogen peroxide during neutrophil swarming in 3D

This study visualizes H2O2 dynamics during neutrophil swarming using a 3D ex vivo system and HyPer7-expressing cells, showing spatially confined and temporally coupled ROS production.

Torque-based immune cell chemotaxis in complex environments

This study identifies distinct chemotactic strategies in neutrophils and dendritic cells, showing how cytoskeletal components and environmental factors influence directed migration in complex tissues.

Super-resolved live imaging of thick biological samples with 3D Random Illumination Microscopy (3D-RIM)

This paper introduces 3D-RIM, a method that achieves super-resolved volume imaging of thick live specimens with high contrast and resolution across multiple microns.
