Revealing nanostructures in brain tissue via protein decrowding by iterative expansion microscopy

TL;DR: In this article , an iterative variant of expansion microscopy (the permeation of cells and tissues by a swellable hydrogel followed by isotropic hyrogel expansion, to allow for enhanced imaging resolution with ordinary microscopes) enables the imaging of nanostructures in expanded yet otherwise intact tissues.

Expansion Revealing: Decrowding Proteins to Unmask Invisible Brain Nanostructures

TL;DR: This work developed a technology, expansion revealing (ExR), which isotropically decrowds proteins from each other, to enable their labeling, and uses it to discover the alignment of presynaptic calcium channels with postsynaptic machinery in intact brain circuits and periodic amyloid nanoclusters containing ion channel proteins in Alzheimer’s model mice.
