High-fidelity synaptic neurotransmission requires defined structural arrangement of synaptic proteins. We developed post-gelation immunolabeling expansion microscopy combined with Airyscan super-resolution microscopy to enable efficient labeling of protein complexes and visualization of trans-synaptic nanocolumns with 20-30 nm spatial resolution.

🎯 Core AI Research: Novel neural network architecture combining compressed sensing with deep learning
Localization-based super-resolution microscopy resolves macromolecular structures down to nanometers by reconstructing fluorescent emitter coordinates. We developed ReCSAI, combining compressed sensing with deep neural networks for confocal lifetime localization microscopy. This method efficiently fits irregular PSFs that occur in confocal imaging, combining the advantages of deep learning and compressed sensing for improved acquisition speed and throughput.
