ONE Microscopy Advances High-Resolution Imaging for Scientific Discovery
Expansion microscopy has spent the past decade changing the rules of super-resolution imaging. Instead of relying solely on increasingly sophisticated optics, the technique physically enlarges...
Biomedical Imaging Foundation Models: Separating Hype from Reality
Foundation models are promising to become the “universal translators” of biomedical data—but a new perspective argues that medicine should resist treating them as all-knowing digital...
SELENOF and unfolded protein response crosstalk determines breast epithelial cell fate
A newly published study is drawing attention to an intricate molecular conversation inside breast epithelial cells: the crosstalk between SELENOF, a selenium-associated protein linked to...
Brain Lipid Imbalances Differentiate Parkinson’s Disease from Multiple System Atrophy
Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy can begin with remarkably similar symptoms: slowed movement, stiffness, tremor, balance problems and changes in speech. Yet beneath those...
Plasma protein signatures linked to extubation outcomes in extremely premature infants
Extremely premature infants who require mechanical ventilation face a difficult transition when clinicians attempt to remove the breathing tube. Extubation can be a major step...
