Article Abstract

Expansion microscopy enables conventional diffraction limit microscopy to achieve super-resolution imaging. However, the enlarged tissue lacks an objective lens with sufficient working distance that can image tissues with whole-brain-scale coverage. Here, we present expansion tomography (ExT) to solve this problem. We have established a modified super-absorbent hydrogel (ExT gel) that possesses high mechanical strength and enables serial sectioning. ExT gel enables tissue and cell imaging and is compatible with various fluorescent labeling strategies. Combining with the high-throughput light-sheet tomography (HLTP) system, we have shown the capability of large volume imaging with nanoscale resolution of mouse brain intact neuronal circuits. The ExT method would allow image samples to support super-resolution imaging of intact tissues with virtually unlimited axial extensions.

Association of Distinct Initial β-Amyloid Levels With Tau Pathology Expansion Beyond the Entorhinal Cortex.

Neurology

September 2025

Department of Statistical Science, Hangzhou Shansier Medical Technologies Co., Ltd., China.

Background And Objectives: β-Amyloid (Aβ) likely triggers the spread of pathologic tau from the entorhinal cortex (EC) to the neocortex, but whether distinct Aβ levels exert differential influences on tau propagation beyond the EC remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the modifying effect of Aβ on the association of initial tau deposition with successive tau accumulation.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed using data from 2 longitudinal observational cohort studies, the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and the Harvard Aging Brain Study (HABS), both conducted in the United States.

Background: Photon-counting computed tomography (CT) bears promise to substantially improve spectral and spatial resolution. One reason for the relatively slow evolution of photon-counting detectors in CT-the technology has been used in nuclear medicine and planar radiology for decades-is pulse pileup, that is, the random staggering of pulses, resulting in count loss and spectral distortion, which in turn cause image bias and reduced contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). The deterministic effects of pileup can be mitigated with a pileup-correction algorithm, but the loss of CNR cannot be recovered, and must be minimized by hardware design.

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystem autosomal dominant disorder primarily characterized by myotonia and distal muscle weakness. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement, including cognitive, executive, and emotional dysfunctions, is increasingly being recognized; however, language impairment as an initial presentation is rare. A 50-year-old right-handed woman with a six-month history of progressive word-finding difficulty, vague speech, and social withdrawal was referred for evaluation.

Acousto-optic tomography (AOT), a technology that reconstructs two- or three-dimensional sound fields from optically measured sound-field projections, has been widely studied as an efficient and high-spatial-resolution method for sound field observations. Recently, physical-model-based approaches have made significant progress, with higher accuracy and fewer sampling requirements than conventional methods. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge to reconstruct three-dimensional outgoing sound waves in the volume surrounding a sound source due to constraints on existing methods both in mathematical formulation and measurement systems.
