Fan Xu's won "Head's Choice' award for his Art of Research competition in BME, Purdue! His submission shows stunning nanoscale details of actin filaments, a result from our collaboration with Qing Deng's group in Biological Sciences.
Our collaborative work with Prof. Susan Cox group has been published in Nature Communications, providing a reliable tool for assessing the quality of localization microscopy images. The lab received another five years of MIRA Award from NIGMS supporting our research in ultra-high resolution structural and molecular imaging of cells and tissues Fan and Fang gave talks in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Biomolecular Galaxy Symposium on "Three dimensional super-resolution imaging in whole-cell and tissue specimens" and "Single molecule super-resolution in tissues and multiplexed single molecule imaging using deep learning" Donghan gave a talk in Focus on Microscopy, "Three Dimensional Nanoscopy of Whole Cells and Tissues with in Situ Point Spread Function Retrieval". Fang gave a webinar at OSA Laser Systems Technical Group. The webinar can be found here: OSA Webinar. Fan gave a talk at International Forum on 3D Optical Sensing and Applications (IFOSA). Our lab receives BRAIN initiative award from NIDA and NIMH together with the Chubykin lab and the Yin lab! Together, our labs will develop ultra-high resolution brain imaging technologies to map the molecular distribution, structure in a functionally analyzed brain tissue. Our first Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering article is out! Summarizing what we know and view as important for 3D-SMLM in tissue and whole-cell super-res developments and applications! Our new preprint in bioRxiv, "Variance lower bound on fluorescence microscopy image denoising". https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.13.094748v1. Microscopy denoising algoirthms are increasingly precise. But how precise is precise enough? Is there a precision bound a denoising task can achieve at its best without generating artifacts? Yilun's latest work explores this direction. Sheng's latest 4Pi single molecule localization algorithm is now online at Communications Biology! A novel localization algorithm providing pupil-based analysis on complex 4Pi-PSF to further improve 4PiSMSN resolution and accuracy! The INSPR paper, "Three dimensional nanoscopy of whole cells and tissues with in situ point spread function retrieval" is now online at Nature Methods! Congratulations Fan and Donghan! Sha and Ferdinand's beautiful system and data of axial plane super-resolution microscopy is now published in Biomedical Optics Express! "Axial plane single-molecule super-resolution microscopy of whole cells". The system integrates axial optical microscopy with light-sheet illumination and single molecule localization microscopy to provide nanoscale axial (z direction) profiles of fluorescently labeled protein targets through whole cells! Many thanks to great collaborators from Tongcang Li's lab (physics@Purdue, inventor of the original APOM), Peng Yin's lab (systems biology@Harvard) and Sandro Matosevic's lab (industrial and physical pharmacy@Purdue)! Fan and Donghan's newest preprint "Three dimensional nanoscopy of whole cells and tissues with in situ point spread function retrieval" is now online at bioRxiv. INSPR (in situ PSF retrieval) builds an in situ 3D response of single emitters directly from single-molecule dataset and therefore allows 3D single molecule super-resolution imaging through whole cells and tissues. This is a wonderful collaboration project with the Calve lab (super-resolving ECM in tissues) and the Landreth lab (super-resolving amyloid beta plaque in brains of mouse models of Alzheimer's disease)! Be sure to check out the movies of INSPR reconstructed extra- and intra-cellular targets in whole cell and tissues! Sheng's preprint "Enhanced 4Pi single-molecule localization microscopy with coherent pupil based localization and light sheet illumination" is now online at BioRxiv: https://doi.org/10.1101/586404 4Pi-PSF contains large amount of un-explored information in both axial and lateral directions! Sheng's PR-4Pi algorithm extracts these complex information to the theoretical limit and yes! we are excited about getting light-sheet illumination into the 4Pi system. Peiyi and Sheng's new paper "Analyzing complex single-molecule emission patterns with deep learning" is now published at Nature Methods! Incredible work from Peiyi Zhang and Sheng Liu enabling extracting multiple classes of information from single molecule emission patterns at the information limit using deep learning (named "smNet"). Great collaboration with Abhishek Chaurasia and Eugenio Culurciello from the e-Lab! Sheng joins SPIE: Nanoimaging and Nanospectroscopy conference (San Diego, CA)and gives her poster presentation on NCS, 4PiSMSN and super-resolution imaging on brain tissue. Mike's new paper "Active PSF shaping and adaptive optics enable volumetric localization microscopy through brain sections" is now published at Nature Methods! Nice job Mike! It is a great collaboration project with the Landreth group and the Lamb lab from IU School of Medicine! Many thanks for our wonderful collaborators! Fan joins Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology conference (ISMB) 2018 in Chicago. Nate finishes his rotation in the lab where he helped rebuilt our AO-SMSN system in our new lab space. Cheng joins the lab after finishing his rotations. Nate Smith joins the lab as a rotation student from MSTP program.
