Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14(1)

Опубликована: Июнь 6, 2023

Abstract High throughput drug screening is an established approach to investigate tumor biology and identify therapeutic leads. Traditional platforms use two-dimensional cultures which do not accurately reflect the of human tumors. More clinically relevant model systems such as three-dimensional organoids can be difficult scale screen. Manually seeded coupled destructive endpoint assays allow for characterization treatment response, but capture transitory changes intra-sample heterogeneity underlying observed resistance therapy. We present a pipeline generate bioprinted linked label-free, time-resolved imaging via high-speed live cell interferometry (HSLCI) machine learning-based quantitation individual organoids. Bioprinting cells gives rise 3D structures with unaltered histology gene expression profiles. HSLCI in tandem segmentation classification tools enables accurate, label-free parallel mass measurements thousands demonstrate that this strategy identifies transiently or persistently sensitive resistant specific therapies, information could used guide rapid therapy selection.

Military Medical Research, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 11(1)

Опубликована: Июнь 13, 2024

Abstract Digital in-line holographic microscopy (DIHM) is a non-invasive, real-time, label-free technique that captures three-dimensional (3D) positional, orientational, and morphological information from digital images of living biological cells. Unlike conventional microscopies, the DIHM enables precise measurements dynamic behaviors exhibited by cells within 3D volume. This review outlines fundamental principles comprehensive image processing procedures employed in DIHM-based cell tracking methods. In addition, recent applications for identification various motile cells, including human blood spermatozoa, diseased unicellular microorganisms, are thoroughly examined. Leveraging artificial intelligence has significantly enhanced both speed accuracy identification. The quantitative data on morphology dynamics captured can effectively elucidate underlying mechanisms governing microbial contribute to accumulation diagnostic databases development clinical treatments.

Abstract Quantitative phase microscopies (QPMs) play a pivotal role in bio-imaging, offering unique insights that complement fluorescence imaging. They provide essential data on mass distribution and transport, inaccessible to techniques. Additionally, QPMs are label-free, eliminating concerns of photobleaching phototoxicity. However, navigating through the array available QPM techniques can be complex, making it challenging select most suitable one for particular application.

Motion-resolved, reference-free holographic imaging via spatiotemporally regularized inversion

Optica, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11(1), С. 32 - 32

Опубликована: Ноя. 29, 2023

Holography is a powerful technique that records the amplitude and phase of an optical field simultaneously, enabling variety applications such as label-free biomedical analysis coherent diffraction imaging. Holographic recording without reference wave has been long pursued because it obviates high experimental requirements conventional interferometric methods. However, due to ill-posed nature underlying retrieval problem, reference-free holographic imaging faced with inherent tradeoff between fidelity temporal resolution. Here, we propose general computational framework, termed spatiotemporally regularized inversion (STRIVER), achieve motion-resolved, fidelity. Specifically, STRIVER leverages signal priors in spatiotemporal domain jointly eliminate ambiguities motion artifacts, and, when combined diversity measurement schemes, produces physically reliable, time-resolved video from series intensity-only measurements. We experimentally demonstrate near-field ptychography, where dynamic freely swimming paramecia performed at framerate-limited speed 112 fps. The proposed method can be potentially extended other spectral regimes, modalities, pushing resolution toward higher limits.
