Deep learning-based adaptive optics for light sheet fluorescence microscopy

BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS, 14(6), 2905–2919.

By: M. Rai, C. Li*, H. Ghashghaei  n & A. Greenbaum*

TL;DR: It is shown that the application of correction using a deformable mirror greatly improves image quality and two conceptually different network architectures are compared; one that shares convolutional features and another that estimates each aberration independently. (via Semantic Scholar)

Ontogeny of cellular organization and LGR5 expression in porcine cochlea revealed using tissue clearing and 3D imaging

ISCIENCE, 25(8).

By: A. Moatti n , C. Li n, S. Sivadanam  n, Y. Cai n, J. Ranta n, J. Piedrahita n , A. Cheng *, F. Ligler n, A. Greenbaum n

TL;DR: Data reveal that hair cell organization, inner ear morphology, cellular cartography in the organ of Corti, and spatiotemporal expression of LGR5 are dynamic over developmental stages in a pattern not previously documented. (via Semantic Scholar)

Deep learning-based autofocus method enhances image quality in light-sheet fluorescence microscopy

BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS, 12(8), 5214–5226.

By: C. Li n, A. Moatti n , X. Zhang n, H. Ghashghaei  n & A. Greenabum

TL;DR: A deep learning-based autofocus framework that can estimate the position of the objective-lens focal plane relative to the light-sheet, based on two defocused images is presented, which outperforms or provides comparable results with the best traditional aut ofocus method on small and large image patches respectively.

2020 journal article

Three-dimensional imaging of intact porcine cochlea using tissue clearing and custom-built light-sheet microscopy

BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS, 11(11), 6181–6196.

By: A. Moatti n , Y. Cai n, C. Li n, T. Sattler n, L. Edwards n , J. Piedrahita n , F. Ligler n, A. Greenbaum n

TL;DR: 3D microscopic analysis was performed on an intact cochlea of newborn and juvenile pigs with a volume up to ∼ 250 mm3 using the BoneClear tissue clearing technique, which renders the bone transparent, to support the growing effort to regenerate cochlear tissues and assist with basic research to advance cures for hearing impairments.
