Block Face Scanning Electron Microscopy of Fluorescently Labeled Axons Without Using Near Infra-Red Branding

Graham Knott, Catherine Maclachlan, Daniela Andrea Sahlender

In this article, we describe the method that allows fluorescently tagged structures such as axons to be targeted for electron microscopy (EM) analysis without the need to convert their labels into electron dense stains, introduce any fiducial marks, or ima ...

A subpopulation of cortical VIP-expressing interneurons with highly dynamic spines

Graham Knott, Jérôme Blanc

Structural synaptic plasticity may underlie experience and learning-dependent changes in cortical circuits. In contrast to excitatory pyramidal neurons, insight into the structural plasticity of inhibitory neurons remains limited. Interneurons are divided ...

Dynamic persistence of UPEC intracellular bacterial communities in a human bladder-chip model of urinary tract infection

Graham Knott, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, François Signorino-Gelo, Kunal Sharma, Thomas Marie Simonet, Vivek Vijay Thacker

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) proliferate within superficial bladder umbrella cells to form intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs) during early stages of urinary tract infections. However, the dynamic responses of IBCs to host stresses and anti ...

Altered Synaptic Dynamics during Normal Brain Aging

Graham Knott, Bohumil Maco

What is the neuroanatomical basis for the decline in brain function that occurs during normal aging? Previous postmortem studies have blamed it on a reduction in spine density, though results remain controversial and spine dynamics were not assessed. We us ...

Somatostatin enhances visual processing and perception by suppressing excitatory inputs to parvalbumin-positive interneurons in V1

Carl Petersen, Graham Knott, Catherine Maclachlan

Somatostatin (SST) is a neuropeptide expressed in a major subtype of GABAergic interneurons in the cortex. Despite abundant expression of SST and its receptors, their modulatory function in cortical processing remains unclear. Here, we found that SST appli ...

The Differential Distribution of RAPTA-T in Non-Invasive and Invasive Breast Cancer Cells Correlates with Its Anti-Invasive and Anti-Metastatic Effects

Paul Joseph Dyson, Graham Knott, Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Catherine Maclachlan

Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be a powerful approach to visualize the exact distribution of drugs at the sub-cellular level. In this work, we exploit this approach to identify ...

NeuroMorph: A Toolset for the Morphometric Analysis and Visualization of 3D Models Derived from Electron Microscopy Image Stacks

Pascal Fua, Graham Knott, Corrado Cali, Biagio Nigro, Anne Alison Jorstad

Serial electron microscopy imaging is crucial for exploring the structure of cells and tissues. The development of block face scanning electron microscopy methods and their ability to capture large image stacks, some with near isotropic voxels, is proving ...

Differential role of C-terminal truncations on alpha-synuclein pathology and Lewy body formation

Graham Knott, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Anass Chiki, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Romain Hamelin, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Niran Maharjan, Melek Firat Altay, Jonathan Jean-Pierre Ricci, Somanath Jagannath, Galina Limorenko, Salvatore Novello, Yllza Jasiqi

Alpha-synuclein (aSyn) post-translational modifications (PTM), especially phosphorylation at serine 129 and C-terminal truncations, are highly enriched in Lewy bodies (LB), Lewy neurites, and other pathological aggregates in Parkinson's disease and synucle ...

BMP signaling specifies the development of a large and fast CNS synapse

Graham Knott, Ralf Schneggenburger, Le Xiao, Elin Kristina Kronander, Enida Gjoni, Christel Genoud

excitatory synapses with multiple active zones ensure reliable and fast information transfer at specific points in neuronal circuits. However, the mechanisms that determine synapse size in CNS circuits are largely unknown. Here we use the calyx of Held syn ...

Ultrastructural comparison of dendritic spine morphology preserved with cryo and chemical fixation

Carl Petersen, Graham Knott, Natalya Korogod, Jérôme Blanc

Previously, we showed that cryo fixation of adult mouse brain tissue gave a truer representation of brain ultrastructure in comparison with a standard chemical fixation method (Korogod et al., 2015). Extracellular space matched physiological measurements, ...

Multiphoton microscopy in brain imaging

Graham Knott, Bohumil Maco

Brain imaging is becoming an important field in the frame of the neurophotonics in correlations with other medical ones in neuroscience studying functional and morphological aspects. In this presentation an overview on multi photon imaging of the brain wil ...

SAS-1 Is a C2 Domain Protein Critical for Centriole Integrity in C. elegans

Simon Blanchoud, Graham Knott, Pierre Gönczy, Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali, Lukas von Tobel

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles important for the formation of cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Despite progress in understanding the underlying assembly mechanisms, how centriole integrity is ensured is incompletely understood, including in sp ...

Correlative light and volume electron microscopy to study brain development

Graham Knott

Recent advances in volume electron microscopy (EM) have been driving our thorough understanding of the brain architecture. Volume EM becomes increasingly powerful when cells and their subcellular structures that are imaged in light microscopy are correlate ...

Ultrastructural analysis of adult mouse neocortex comparing aldehyde perfusion with cryo fixation

Carl Petersen, Graham Knott, Natalya Korogod

Analysis of brain ultrastructure using electron microscopy typically relies on chemical fixation. However, this is known to cause significant tissue distortion including a reduction in the extracellular space. Cryo fixation is thought to give a truer repre ...
