Rotavirus genome replication and assembly take place in cytoplasmic electron dense
inclusions termed viroplasms (VPs). Previous conventional optical microscopy studies …

Optical super-resolution microscopy techniques enable high molecular specificity with high
spatial resolution and constitute a set of powerful tools in the investigation of the structure of …

Time-lapse fluorescence imaging of live cells at super-resolution remains a challenge,
especially when the photon budget is limited. Current super-resolution techniques require …

A fundamental question in cell biology is how cells assemble their outer layers. The bacterial
endospore is a well‐established model for cell layer assembly. However, the assembly of …

The germination of Bacillus spores is triggered by certain amino acids and sugar molecules
which permeate the outermost layers of the spore to interact with receptor complexes that …

Bacterial spores spontaneously interact and tightly bind heterologous proteins. A variety of
antigens and enzymes have been efficiently displayed on spores of Bacillus subtilis, the …

The exosporium of Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 spores is morphologically distinct from
exosporia observed for the spores of many other species. Previous work has demonstrated …

Endospore-forming bacteria are ubiquitous in nature. Many of them have been used in
biotechnological applications, while others are human pathogens responsible for a wide …

Algorithms for generating uniform random points on a triaxial ellipsoid are non-trivial to verify
because of the non-analytical form of the surface area. In this paper, a formula for the …

It is often necessary to precisely quantify the size of specimens in biological studies. When
measuring feature size in fluorescence microscopy, significant biases can arise due to …
