Quantifying the extent to which points are clustered in single-molecule localization microscopy data is vital to understanding the spatial relationships between molecules in the underlying sample. Many existing computational approaches are limited in...
Single-molecule research techniques such as patch-clamp electrophysiology deliver unique biological insight by capturing the movement of individual proteins in real time, unobscured by whole-cell ensemble averaging. The critical first step in analysi...

Background fluorescence, especially when it exhibits undesired spatial features, is a primary factor for reduced image quality in optical microscopy. Structured background is particularly detrimental when analyzing single-molecule images for 3-dimens...
Caveolae are plasma membrane invaginations whose formation requires caveolin-1 (Cav1), the adaptor protein polymerase I, and the transcript release factor (PTRF or CAVIN1). Caveolae have an important role in cell functioning, signaling, and disease. ...
Diffusion plays a crucial role in many biological processes including signaling, cellular organization, transport mechanisms, and more. Direct observation of molecular movement by single-particle-tracking experiments has contributed to a growing body...
Exclusive liquid repellency (ELR) describes an extreme wettability phenomenon in which a liquid phase droplet is completely repelled from a solid phase when exposed to a secondary immiscible liquid phase. Earlier, we developed a multi-liquid-phase op...

The stoichiometry of protein complexes is precisely regulated in cells and is fundamental to protein function. Singe-molecule fluorescence imaging based photobleaching event counting is a new approach for protein stoichiometry determination under phy...
Single-molecule experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are indispensable tools for investigating protein conformational dynamics. The former provide data, such as donor-acceptor distances, whereas the latter give atomistic information, ...

CD44 ligand-receptor interactions are known to be involved in regulating cell migration and tumor cell metastasis. High expression levels of CD44 correlate with a poor prognosis of melanoma patients. In order to understand not only the mechanistic ba...
Image-based spatial transcriptomics methods enable transcriptome-scale gene expression measurements with spatial information but require complex, manually tuned analysis pipelines. We present Polaris, an analysis pipeline for image-based spatial tran...
