AbstractMitochondria form a dynamic three-dimensional network within the cell that exhibits a wide range of morphologies and behaviors. Depending on cell state, cell type, and cell fate, a cell's mitochondrial phenotype might range from relatively isolated mitochondrial segments to complex branching networks, and from stationary mitochondria to highly motile structures.

Modern actuarial students are accustomed to computational work and computer-based assessments. However, while formal exams are essential evaluation tools, they do not replicate real-world challenges. As an actuarial science lecturer at Queen’s Business School, I wanted to allow students to apply their theoretical knowledge to real data and develop practical skills, including presenting their results to an industry representative from Reitigh Software.

1 INTRODUCTION Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is a principal type of fluorescence microscopy extensively employed in cell and developmental biology.1-10 By avoiding unnecessary photobleaching above and below the in-focus plane (compared with widefield and confocal microscopes), while rejecting out-of-focus background (compared with widefield microscope), LSFM offers significantly enhanced temporal resolution and duration for three-dimensional time-lapse imaging (4D; x, y, z,...

AbstractLight-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), a prominent fluorescence microscopy technique, offers enhanced temporal resolution for imaging biological samples in four dimensions (4D; x, y, z, time). Some of the most recent implementations, including inverted selective plane illumination microscopy (iSPIM) and lattice light-sheet microscopy (LLSM), rely on a tilting of the sample plane with respect to the light sheet of 30-45 degrees to ease sample preparation.

Vaccinations, mask mandates, and nursing employment rates were the topics of discussion during the Sept. 22 UW Medicine town hall. The hour-long meeting was hosted by medical leaders, including Santiago Neme, UW clinical associate professor, and Cindy Sayre, chief nursing officer at the UW Medical Center (UWMC). Kicking off the town hall was the topic of COVID-19. Sept.
