Super-Resolution Radial Fluctuation (SRRF) enables live-cell super-resolution imaging, but requires careful parameter selection. Here, we quantify the impact of NanoJ-SRRF parameters on microtubule imaging using FWHM and SQUIRREL-based error mapping. Ring radius proved most critical, with values >1.0 degrading resolution and fidelity. Radiality magnification and axes in ring had minimal impact. Advanced parameters revealed pitfalls: "remove positivity constraint" degraded resolution by 43%, while gradient weighting catastrophically reduced fidelity (RSP = 0.204 ± 0.116). Temporal Radiality Average (TRA) outperformed Temporal Radiality Auto-Correlations (TRAC), milimizing artifacts. This study establishes the first evidence-based guidelines for live-cell tubulin imaging: ring radius ≤1.0, TRA mode prioritization, and avoidance of gradient weighting. Integrating FWHM and SQUIRREL offers a robust opitimization framework for cytoskeletal dynamics.

ObjectivePseudoexfoliation syndrome is a systemic disease of unknown etiology, seen in advanced ages, characterized by extracellular material accumulation in ocular tissues and visceral organs. Autophagy, which is a basic metabolic pathway, provides macromolecule recycling of the cell and maintains cell homeostasis by adapting to the cell's stress environment. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between specific mechanisms of autophagy and pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

Aims: Nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery systems are being investigated for the controlled release of drugs to treat neurodegenerative diseases (ND). We aimed to investigate the effects of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (PLGA-NPs) containing different growth factors (GFs) on rat brain-derived neural stem cells (NSCs) in vitro differentiation, providing insights that may contribute to future approaches for treating Parkinson's disease.
Methods: Three different PLGA-NPs loaded with Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), Glial-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF), and Transforming Growth Factor beta 3 (TGF-β3) were developed and characterized in terms of size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, and release profile.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most important environmental risk factor for neurodegenerative disease. Tauopathy plays an important role in post-traumatic neurodegeneration. Human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cortical organoids have exciting potential to reveal the influence of genotype on post-traumatic neurodegeneration because they permit manipulation of the genome in a human system.

Background: Joubert syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous ciliopathy characterized by cerebellar vermis hypoplasia and the distinctive molar tooth sign on neuroimaging, often accompanied by neurological impairment. Pathogenic CSPP1 variants account for approximately 3% of Joubert syndrome cases. While certain ciliopathies have been associated with metabolic dysfunction, this has not been described in CSPP1-related Joubert syndrome.

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRM) has enabled visualization of nanoscale cellular structures, but systematic evaluation of resolution assessment methods across diverse biological structures and SRM modalities remains lacking. Here, we comparatively assessed three resolution metrics-Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM), decorrelation analysis, and Fourier Ring Correlation (FRC)-across two SRM techniques (Super-resolution Radial Fluctuation, SRRF; Stimulated Emission Depletion, STED) using key subcellular structures: microtubules (filaments), mitochondria (membranes), and nuclear pore protein Nup98 (single particles) in HeLa/U2OS cells. Our results showed decorrelation analysis provided robust resolution estimates across all structures and modalities (confocal/SRRF/STED), exhibiting superior performance for dense nuclear pore complexes where FWHM failed due to overlapping point spread functions.
