The paper identifies cell-envelope conduits in Acinetobacter baumannii that enable direct transfer of large chromosomal DNA segments between cells.

This paper introduces a method for quantitative STED microscopy using DNA-fluorophore labels to enable molecule counting in biological samples.

The paper uses smart 3D super-resolution microscopy to study the RNA scaffold structure in paraspeckles, revealing new insights into their 3D organization and growth.

This paper enables long-term super-resolution imaging of ER dynamics in living cells using low irradiation and neural network-based image restoration.

The paper introduces self-quenched fluorophore-DNA labels to reduce background signal in super-resolution microscopy, improving imaging performance in STED and SMLM.
