Molecular sensors reveal the mechano-chemical response of Phytophthora infestans walls and membranes to mechanical and chemical stress by Lucile Michels, Jochem Bronkhorst, Michiel Kasteel, Djanick de Jong, Bauke Albada, Tijs Ketelaar, Francine Govers, Joris Sprakel

“…Moreover, the molecular sensors can reveal the effect of chemical treatment to CW and/or PM, thereby revealing the site-of-action of crop protection agents. This mechano-chemical imaging strategy resolves, non-invasively and with high spatio-temporal resolution, how the CW-PM continuum adapts and responds to abiotic stress, and provides information on the dynamics and location of cellular stress responses for which, to date, no other methods are available.…”

Mapping and Profiling Lipid Distribution in a 3D Model of Breast Cancer Progression by Vidavsky, Netta, Kunitake, Jennie AMR, Diaz-Rubio, Maria Elena, Chiou, Aaron E, Loh, Hyun-Chae, Zhang, Sheng, Masic, Admir, Fischbach, Claudia, Estroff, Lara A

“…Further, the spatial distribution of lipids was examined using Raman chemical imaging and lipid staining. We show that with changes in the cellular microenvironment when moving from 2D to 3D cell cultures, total lipid amounts decrease significantly, while the ratio of acylglycerols to membrane lipids increases. …”

Probe microscopy is all you need by Sergei V Kalinin, Rama Vasudevan, Yongtao Liu, Ayana Ghosh, Kevin Roccapriore, Maxim Ziatdinov

“…We argue that a promising pathway for the development of ML methods is via the route of domain-specific deployable algorithms in areas such as electron and scanning probe microscopy and chemical imaging. This will benefit both fundamental physical studies and serve as a test bed for more complex autonomous systems such as robotics and manufacturing. …”
