Approaching Maximum Resolution in Structured Illumination Microscopy via Accurate Noise Modeling

A. Saurabh, P. T. Brown, J. S. Bryan, Z. R. Fox, R. Kruithoff, C. Thompson, C. Kural, D. P. Shepherd, S. P. Presse

This paper introduces B-SIM, an unsupervised Bayesian framework for structured illumination microscopy that improves resolution and contrast by accurately modeling noise, outperforming existing methods in both simulated and experimental data.

Tension-induced adhesion mode switching: the interplay between focal adhesions and clathrin-containing adhesion complexes

U. Djakbarova, Y. Madraki, E. Chan, T. Wu, V. Atreaga-Muniz, A. A. Akatay, C. Kural

This study investigates the spatiotemporal regulation of focal adhesions and clathrin-containing adhesion complexes in breast cancer cells, revealing their inverse relationship with membrane tension and distinct roles in cancer progression.

Mechano-inhibition of Endocytosis Sensitizes Cancer Cells to Fas-induced Apoptosis

M. Kural, U. Djakbarova, B. Cakir, Y. Tanaka, Y. Madraki, E. T. Chan, V. Arteaga Muniz, H. Qian, J. Park, L. Sewanan, I.-H. Park, L. Niklason, C. Kural

The paper shows that inhibiting endocytosis with fasudil increases Fas microaggregate formation, making cancer cells more sensitive to FasL-induced apoptosis.

Endocytosis at Extremes: Formation and Internalization of Giant Clathrin-coated Pits Under Elevated Membrane Tension

A. A. Akatay, T. Wu, U. Djakbarova, C. Thompson, E. Cocucci, R. Zandi, J. Rudnick, C. Kural

This study shows that elevated membrane tension induces the formation of giant clathrin-coated pits (GCPs) in fruit fly embryos, which differ in size and internalization dynamics from canonical clathrin-coated pits.

Endocytic Clathrin Coats Develop Curvature at Early Stages of Their Formation

N. Willy, J. Ferguson, S. Silahli, C. Cakez, F. Hasan, Y. Chen, M. Wu, H. Chang, A. Travesset, S. Li, R. Zandi, D. Li, E. Betzig, E. Cocucci, C. Kural

The paper uses live cell imaging to show clathrin-coated pits develop curvature early without requiring a flat-to-curved transition.
