Although cellular heterogeneity has been described for metabolic pathways, the upstream mechanisms, the downstream consequences, and the flexibility and transmission of these preferences to daughter cells remains largely unknown. Using live-cell imaging, Kosaisawe et al. demonstrate that cellular metabolism, determined by glycolysis and ATP, is spontaneously heterogeneous, plastic, and regulatory.

Because of its good spectral separation from green (GFP) and red (RFP) fluorescent proteins, blue fluorescent protein (BFP) is essential for multicolor live cell imaging. However, the commonly used bright mTagBFP2 strongly perturbs the cellular localization of Lifeact, an F-actin marker. As an alternative, we tested the expression of Electra2 in .

Nematic Liquid Crystals (LCs), noted for their simple molecular alignment and broad use in optoelectronics, remain unmodified for over a century. However, in 2017, a unique polar phase, the ferroelectric nematic (N), is confirmed. Subsequently, in 2024, the revolutionary spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking of ferroelectric twist-bend nematic chiral structures (N phase) is demonstrated.

Fluorogen-activating proteins are powerful molecular tools for microscopy, including functional imaging. These proteins serve as an alternative to GFP-like proteins, as they do not require oxygen for chromophore maturation. However, the restricted selectivity of proteins to chromophores, combined with the limited number of spectral channels of conventional fluorescent microscopes, hinders the development of multicolor synthetic dyes.

Acrylamide and advanced glycation end products are two typical hazards produced simultaneously through the Maillard reaction of food. Traditional instrumental detection methods require specialized instrument operation, resulting in low detection efficiency. Here, a red-green dual fluorescence detection system combined with Nt.

Lymph nodes orchestrate adaptive immune responses, with germinal centers enabling affinity maturation and plasma cell formation. Here, we present a protocol for rapid, high-resolution, multicolor 3D imaging of whole immunized mouse lymph nodes. We describe steps for immunization, lymph node harvesting, fixation, permeabilization, staining, and clearing.
