Accurate size-based protein localization from cryo-ET tomograms by Weisheng Jin, Ye Zhou, Alberto Bartesaghi

“…We compare the performance of our approach against a commonly used algorithm based on deep learning, crYOLO, and show that our method: i) has higher detection accuracy, ii) does not require user input for labeling or time-consuming training, and iii) runs efficiently on non-specialized CPU hardware. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by automatically detecting particles from tomograms representing different types of samples and using these particles to determine the high-resolution structures of ribosomes imaged in vitro and in situ.…”

Ensemble deep learning-enabled single-shot composite structured illumination microscopy (eDL-cSIM) by Jiaming Qian, Chunyao Wang, Hongjun Wu, Qian Chen, Chao Zuo

“…Abstract Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) has emerged as a powerful super-resolution technique for studying protein dynamics in live cells thanks to its wide-field imaging mode and high photon efficiency. However, conventional SIM requires at least nine raw images to achieve super-resolution reconstruction, which limits its imaging speed and increases susceptibility to rapid sample dynamics. …”
