RNA sequencing is a powerful technology for studying cells and diseases. Scientists from the research group of Christoph Bock, principal investigator at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and professor at the Medical University of Vienna, developed a new method for sequencing huge numbers of single cells in an efficient manner. The study has now been published in Nature Methods.
AI Technology may Lead to More Improved Microscopes Written by AZoRoboticsMay 10 2021 Researchers have begun to apply a method, known as light-field microscopy, to visualize the rapid neuronal signals in a fish brain. This method makes it viable to image these rapid biological processes in 3D. A representation of a neural network provides a backdrop to a fish larva’s beating heart. Image Credit: Tobias Wüstefeld. However, the images usually lack quality, and it takes hours or even days to convert enormous amounts of data into 3D volumes and movies. Researchers from the European Molecular B...
Artificial intelligence can boost power, efficiency of even the best microscopes By (0) Researchers used their new AI-powered microscopy technology to image the beating heart of a fish larva. Photo by Tobias Wuestefeld May 7 (UPI) -- With the help of artificial intelligence, even already powerful microscopes can see better, faster and process more data. In a new study, published Friday in the journal Nature Methods, researchers used new machine learning algorithms to combine a pair of novel microscopy techniques.

Mini-Microscope Allows Brain Imaging of Freely Moving Mice in Real Time Source: Kateryna KDN/Science Photo Library/Getty Images April 7, 2021 Share Although brain imaging is performed on head-fixed mice, recording neural activity in freely behaving mice has remained a challenge. To address this, researchers report the development of a unique head-mounted mini-microscope device that allows them to image complex brain functions of freely moving mice in real time over a period of more than 300 days. The device, known as the mini-MScope, offers an important new tool for studying how neural activi...
