Recent advances in fluorescence-based microscopy techniques, such as single molecule fluorescence, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), fluorescence intensity fluctuations analysis, and super-resolution have expanded our ability to study proteins greater detail within their native cellular environment investigate the roles that protein interactions play biological functions, inter- intracellular signaling cargo transport. In this Perspective, we provide an up-to-date overview of current state art detection living cells with emphasis on recent developments facilitated characterization spatial temporal organization into oligomeric complexes presence absence natural artificial ligands. Further advancements field will only deepen understanding underlying mechanisms processes help develop new therapeutic targets.

The need to observe objects that are smaller than the diffraction limit has led development of various superresolution techniques. However, most such techniques require active interaction with sample, which may not be possible in multiple practical scenarios. recently developed technique Hermite–Gaussian imaging (HGI) achieves by passively observing light coming from an object. This approach involves decomposing incoming field into basis spatial modes and measuring amplitude or intensity each component. From these measurements, original object can reconstructed. implementing HGI experimentally proven challenging, previous achievements have focused on coherent parameter estimation simple objects. In this paper, we implement interferometric incoherent regime demonstrate a three-fold improvement resolution compared direct imaging. We evaluate performance our method under different noise levels. Our results constitute step towards powerful passive fluorescent microscopy astronomy.

Abstract Recent work by our laboratory and others indicates that co-display of multiple antigens on protein-based nanoparticles may be key to induce cross-reactive antibodies provide broad protection against disease. To reach the ultimate goal a universal vaccine for seasonal influenza, mosaic influenza nanoparticle (FluMos-v1) was developed clinical trial (NCT04896086). FluMos-v1 is unique in it designed four recently circulating haemagglutinin (HA) strains; however, current analysis techniques are limited population analysis, thus, unable determine valency an individual nanoparticle. For first time, we demonstrate total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy supportive physical–chemical methods indeed achieved single nanoparticles. Additionally, have determined percentages multivalent (mosaic) with four, three, or two HA proteins. The integrated imaging physicochemical multivalency will serve further understand immunogenicity data from trial.
