This study shows that extrinsic polarity cues determine whether retinal organoids develop a laminated epithelium or cluster-based organization, revealing plasticity in vertebrate retinal development.

The paper decodes acute neuroinflammatory states in mouse microglia by analyzing their 3D cellular architecture and links lipid-endosome reorganization to the mTORC1 pathway.

This paper develops a sparse reconstruction algorithm for soft X-ray tomography to achieve high spatial resolution and whole-cell imaging with reduced radiation dose.

This paper uses soft X-ray tomography to analyze B.subtilis biofilm structure, showing structural changes in a tasA deletion mutant and the effect of TasA protein addition.

This paper develops a multimodal approach combining X-ray computed tomography and light-sheet fluorescence microscopy to visualize gene expression in 3D tissue context, applicable to in vitro models and model organisms.

This study shows how herpesvirus infection alters mitochondrial structure and metabolism during infection progression.

The paper shows fish-derived organoids rapidly self-organize into retinal tissue, mimicking in vivo eye development, and highlights the impact of cell number and genetics on morphogenesis.
