Fluorescence lifetime imaging with a megapixel SPAD camera and neural network lifetime estimation

Claudio Bruschini, Edoardo Charbon, Kazuhiro Morimoto, Ming-Lo Wu

Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a key technology that provides direct insight into cell metabolism, cell dynamics and protein activity. However, determining the lifetimes of different fluorescent proteins requires the detection of a rela ...

Photoactivatable Silicon Rhodamines for Super-Resolution Microscopy

Michelle Susanne Frei

Fluorescence microscopy is the method of choice to monitor dynamic processes in living cells due to its non-invasive nature. A variety of different fluorophores and labeling systems are currently used to selectively visualise structures or biomolecules of ...

Genetically encoded betaxanthin-based small-molecular fluorescent reporter for mammalian cells

Karl Gademann, Simon Sieber, Leo Scheller

We designed and engineered a dye production cassette encoding a heterologous pathway, including human tyrosine hydroxylase and Amanita muscaria 4,5-DOPA dioxygenase, for the biosynthesis of the betaxanthin family of plant and fungal pigments in mammalian c ...

Fluorogenic probes for live-cell imaging

Aleksandar Salim

The development of novel fluorogenic probes and their use in live-cell imaging lead to a plethora of discoveries in biological research. Herein I report on novel red fluorogenic probes for live-cell super-resolution microscopy of various cellular organelle ...

Dual-Activatable Cell Tracker for Controlled and Prolonged Single-Cell Labeling

Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Salome Riccarda Püntener

Cell trackers are fluorescent chemical tools that facilitate imaging and tracking cells within live organisms. Despite their versatility, these dyes lack specificity, tend to leak outside of the cell, and stain neighboring cells. Here, we report a dual-act ...

Monitoring alpha-synuclein oligomerization and aggregation using bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays: What you see is not always what you get

Hilal Lashuel, Nathan Alain Denis Riguet, Bryan Frey, Abdelrahman Mohammed Adel Elsaeed Mansour AlOkda

Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) was introduced a decade ago as a method to monitor alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) oligomerization in intact cells. Since then, several alpha-syn BiFC cellular assays and animal models have been developed based o ...

Development of novel experimental and computational methods for three-dimensional coherent and super-resolution microscopy

Adrien Charles-François Raymond Descloux

Optical microscopy is one widely used tool to study cell functions and the interaction of molecules at a sub-cellular level. Optical microscopy techniques can be broadly divided into two categories: partially coherent and incoherent. Coherent microscopy te ...

Site-Specific Protein Conjugation onto Fluorescent Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Vitalijs Zubkovs, Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Shang-Jung Wu, Nils Schürgers

Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are among the few photostable optical emitters that are ideal for sensing, imaging, drug delivery, and monitoring of protein activity. These applications often require strategies for immobilizing prote ...

Cellular Uptake and Intracellular Trafficking of Poly(N-(2-Hydroxypropyl) Methacrylamide)

Harm-Anton Klok, Olivier Burri, Graham Knott, Arne Seitz, Claudia Battistella, Anders Meibom, Romain Guiet, Stéphane Laurent Escrig

Cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking of polymer conjugates or polymer nanoparticles is typically monitored using fluorescence-based techniques such as confocal microscopy. While these methods have provided a wealth of insight into the internalizat ...

Detection of mRNA by Whole Mount in situ Hybridization and DNA Extraction for Genotyping of Zebrafish Embryos

Andrew Charles Oates, Rachna Narayanan

In situ hybridization is used to visualize the spatial distribution of gene transcripts in tissues and in embryos, providing important information about disease and development. Current methods involve the use of complementary riboprobes incorporating non- ...

Azacyanine dyes and use thereof

Elena Goun, Riccardo Sinisi, Alma Rosa Morales Morales

The application provides fluorescent dyes, which are cyanine dyes that incorporate additional aza moieties in the indolenium heterocycles and/or in the methine chains connecting them. Symmetrical and unsymmetrical chemically reactive azacyanine dyes are de ...
