Opportunistic neuronal fuelling

This study shows neurons switch fuel sources from glucose to lactate when extracellular lactate increases, regardless of activity, revealing lactate availability as the key factor.

Developmental Trajectory of Synaptic Remodeling in the Mouse Prefrontal Cortex

The paper characterizes synaptic dynamics during normal mouse prefrontal cortex maturation using combined imaging and quantification methods.

A low-cost FPGA-based approach for pile-up corrected high-speed in vivo FLIM imaging

This paper introduces a low-cost FPGA-based method to correct pile-up distortions in TCSPC-FLIM, enabling high-speed, accurate in vivo imaging with subcellular resolution.

Lactate-carried Mitochondrial Energy Overflow

The paper investigates mitochondrial lactate metabolism, finding that mitochondria produce lactate as an overflow mechanism to regulate redox levels and conserve energy.
