Article Abstract
Imaging cellular structures and organelles in living cells by long time-lapse super-resolution microscopy is challenging, as it requires dense labeling, bright and highly photostable dyes, and non-toxic conditions. We introduce a set of high-density, environment-sensitive (HIDE) membrane probes, based on the membrane-permeable silicon-rhodamine dye HMSiR, that assemble in situ and enable long time-lapse, live-cell nanoscopy of discrete cellular structures and organelles with high spatiotemporal resolution. HIDE-enabled nanoscopy movies span tens of minutes, whereas movies obtained with labeled proteins span tens of seconds. Our data reveal 2D dynamics of the mitochondria, plasma membrane and filopodia, and the 2D and 3D dynamics of the endoplasmic reticulum, in living cells. HIDE probes also facilitate acquisition of live-cell, two-color, super-resolution images, expanding the utility of nanoscopy to visualize dynamic processes and structures in living cells.

Fertilisation failure following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a significant challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART), particularly in the absence of an identifiable cause. Artificial oocyte activation (AOA), typically with calcium ionophores, has emerged as a potential solution in scenarios characterised by a deficiency of phospholipase C zeta (PLCζ). This narrative review consolidates the latest clinical and experimental data regarding the application of calcium ionophores for oocyte activation, the significance of PLCζ testing in instances of unexplained fertilisation failure, and the impact of AOA on the morphokinetics and developmental potential of embryos.

Introduction: The integration of technology in medical education has led to the adoption of hybrid teaching methods, combining online lectures with traditional face-to-face clinical practice. While this approach offers flexibility and safety, it raises questions about the impact of potential time lapses between theoretical learning and hands-on experience. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the time interval between online lectures and on-site clinical practice on medical students' performance in orthopedic rotation.

Tracking live cells across two-dimensional, three-dimensional (3D) and multichannel time-lapse recordings is crucial for understanding tissue-scale biological processes. Despite advancements in imaging technology, accurately tracking cells remains challenging, particularly in complex and crowded tissues where cell segmentation is often ambiguous. We present Ultrack, a versatile and scalable cell tracking method that tackles this challenge by considering candidate segmentations derived from multiple algorithms and parameter sets.

Many fundamental insights into microbiology have come from imaging, which is typically synonymous with optical techniques. However, the sample preparation needed for many optical microscopy methods, such as labeling, fixing, or genetic modification, limits the range of species and environments we can investigate. Here, we demonstrate the use of electrical capacitance measurements as a non-optical method for imaging live microbial samples.

Background: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a life threatening disease. Localization of affected intrapancreatic beta cells responsible for focal forms during surgery can be challenging. In this study we investigated a new radioguided surgical (RGS) approach using [Ga]Exendin to facilitate intraoperative focus detection.
