Congratulations to Joh and former lab member Daphne on their paper “4D cell biology: big data image analytics and lattice light-sheet imaging reveal dynamics of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in stem cell derived intestinal organoids“, now published online in Molecular biology of the cell.
A new level of 4D tissue cell biology is unlocked as recent advances from three fields come together. (A) Endogenous protein tagging using genome editing (i), stem cell biology (ii) and 3D tissue/organoid culture (iii), (B) 4D non-invasive advanced fluorescent imaging with the lattice light-sheet microscope with adaptive optics (AO-LLSM, left: full view of the microscope, right: focus on the characteristic objective arrangement) and (C) advances and software in big data image analytics. (Right) Combination of these elements allows unprecedented quantitative analysis of subcellular events within live tissues in 4D.
