Tissue clearing and imaging methods for cardiovascular development
Summary: Tissue imaging in 3D using visible light is limited and various clearing techniques were developed to increase imaging depth, but none provides universal solution for all tissues at all developmental stages. In this review, we focus on different

Robust model-based analysis of single-particle tracking experiments with Spot-On. [PDF]
Single-particle tracking (SPT) has become an important method to bridge biochemistry and cell biology since it allows direct observation of protein binding and diffusion dynamics in live cells.

Volumetric mass density measurements of mesenchymal stem cells in suspension using a density meter
Summary: To use regeneratively active cells for cell therapeutic applications, the cells must be isolated from their resident tissues. Different isolation procedures subject these cells to varying degrees of mechanical strain, which can affect the yield ...

An Optimal Likelihood Free Method for Biological Model Selection [PDF]
Systems biology seeks to create math models of biological systems to reduce inherent biological complexity and provide predictions for applications such as therapeutic development. However, it remains a challenge to determine which math model is correct and how to arrive optimally at the answer.

Prediction of Structures and Interactions from Genome Information [PDF]
Predicting three dimensional residue-residue contacts from evolutionary information in protein sequences was attempted already in the early 1990s. However, contact prediction accuracies of methods evaluated in CASP experiments before CASP11 remained quite low, typically with $<20$% true positives.

In-Cell Structural Biology by NMR: The Benefits of the Atomic Scale.
In-cell structural biology aims at extracting structural information about proteins or nucleic acids in their native, cellular environment. This emerging field holds great promise and is already providing new facts and outlooks of interest at both ...

Robust Detection of Hierarchical Communities from Escherichia coli Gene Expression Data [PDF]
Determining the functional structure of biological networks is a central goal of systems biology. One approach is to analyze gene expression data to infer a network of gene interactions on the basis of their correlated responses to environmental and ...

Sensitive label-free imaging of brain samples using FxClear-based tissue clearing technique
Summary: Optical clearing has emerged as a powerful tool for volume imaging. Although volume imaging with immunostaining have been successful in many protocols, yet obtaining homogeneously stained thick samples remains challenging.

Time of day as a critical variable in biology
Background Circadian rhythms are important for all aspects of biology; virtually every aspect of biological function varies according to time of day. Although this is well known, variation across the day is also often ignored in the design and reporting ...
