Closing the multichannel gap through computational reconstruction of interaction in super-resolution microscopy by Ben Cardoen, Hanene Ben Yedder, Ivan Robert Nabi, Ghassan Hamarneh

“…Summary: Cellular function is defined by pathways that, in turn, are determined by distance-mediated interactions between and within subcellular organelles, protein complexes, and macromolecular structures. Multichannel super-resolution microscopy (SRM) is uniquely placed to quantify distance-mediated interactions at the nanometer scale with its ability to label individual biological targets with independent markers that fluoresce in different spectra. …”
