A mobile optical coherence microscope for studying aquatic organisms in- and outside the laboratory

This paper introduces a mobile optical coherence microscope for high-resolution, label-free imaging of aquatic organisms in both lab and field settings, enabling detailed morphological and dynamic analysis.

An ancient monoaminergic signaling system coordinates contractility in a nerveless sponge

This study identifies an ancient monoaminergic system in sponges that coordinates contractility through tryptamine signaling, predating neurons.

Molecular profiling of sponge deflation reveals an ancient relaxant-inflammatory response

The paper identifies an ancient relaxant-inflammatory response in sponges during deflation, driven by actomyosin relaxation and associated with inflammation-like states.

Ethology of morphogenesis reveals the design principles of cnidarian size and shape development

The paper shows how muscular hydraulic behavior in Nematostella vectensis drives larva-polyp morphogenesis through antagonistic muscle pressures.

AIE-nanoparticle assisted ultra-deep microscopy in the in vivo mouse brain under 1300-nm excitation

This study demonstrates AIE nanoparticles enabling ultra-deep three-photon imaging in live mouse brains using NIR-IIa excitation.
