Multiplexed imaging of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)-based biosensors potentially presents a powerful approach to monitoring the spatio-temporal correlation of signalling pathways within a single live cell. Here, we discuss the potential of homo-FRET based biosensors to facilitate multiplexed imaging. We demonstrate that the homo-FRET between pleckstrin homology domains of Akt (Akt-PH) labelled with mCherry may be used to monitor 3'-phosphoinositide accumulation in live cells and show how global analysis of time resolved fluorescence anisotropy measurements can be used to quantify this accumulation. We further present multiplexed imaging readouts of calcium concentration, using fluorescence lifetime measurements of TN-L15-a CFP/YFP based hetero-FRET calcium biosensor-with 3'-phosphoinositide accumulation.

The regulation of follicular (F) and germinal center (GC) immune reactivity in human lymph nodes (LNs), particularly during the acute stages of viral infection, remains poorly understood: We have analyzed lung-draining lymph nodes (LD-LNs) from COVID-19 autopsies using multiplex imaging and spatial transcriptomics to examine the immune landscape with respect to follicular immune reactivity. We identified three groups of donors based on the Bcl6 prevalence of their Reactive Follicles (RFs): RF-Bcl6no/low, RF-Bcl6int, and RF-Bcl6high. A distinct B/TFH immune landscape, associated with increased prevalence of proliferating B-cell and TFH-cell subsets, was found in RF-Bcl6high LD-LNs.

Objectives: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 15% of lung tumors and is marked by aggressive growth and early metastatic spread. In this study, we used two SCLC mouse models with differing tumor mutation burdens (TMB). To investigate tumor composition, spatial architecture, and interactions with the surrounding microenvironment, we acquired multiplexed images of mouse lung tumors using imaging mass cytometry (IMC).

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic condition leading to elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin deficiency, insulin resistance, or a combination of both. Chronically raised blood glucose levels can lead to a broad variety of microvascular and macrovascular complications. Neurological disorders are a common manifestation of diabetes mellitus, and poorly controlled diabetes mellitus frequently causes peripheral sensorimotor polyneuropathy and autonomic neuropathy.

J-Aggregates hold significant promise for high-resolution shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging, yet achieving robust SWIR absorption and emission simultaneously has been hindered by hypsochromic shifts in absorption and emission quenching caused by undesirable H- and random aggregation. To address this, we developed highly fluorescent BODIPY J-aggregates exhibiting absorption and emission spanning 1000-1600 nm. A key innovation was the implementation of a zig-zag molecular design, which effectively suppressed H-aggregation and minimized intermolecular interactions, thereby enabling anti-quenching SWIR emission.

5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) has revolutionized DNA replication and cell cycle analyses through fast, efficient click chemistry detection. However, commercial EdU kits suffer from high costs, proprietary formulations, limited antibody multiplexing capabilities, and difficulties with larger biological specimens. Here, we present OpenEMMU (Open-source EdU Multiplexing Methodology for Understanding DNA replication dynamics), an optimized, affordable, and user-friendly click chemistry platform utilizing off-the-shelf reagents.
