Metadata matters: access to image data in the real world

TLDR
An open standard format for multidimensional microscopy image data is described and it is called on the community to use open image data standards and to insist that all imaging platforms support these file formats.
Abstract
Data sharing is important in the biological sciences to prevent duplication of effort, to promote scientific integrity, and to facilitate and disseminate scientific discovery. Sharing requires centralized repositories, and submission to and utility of these resources require common data formats. This is particularly challenging for multidimensional microscopy image data, which are acquired from a variety of platforms with a myriad of proprietary file formats (PFFs). In this paper, we describe an open standard format that we have developed for microscopy image data. We call on the community to use open image data standards and to insist that all imaging platforms support these file formats. This will build the foundation for an open image data repository.

Testing models of mRNA localization reveals robustness regulated by reducing transport between cells

TL;DR: Modelling helps to better study the localization of polarity determining transcripts (RNA) in fruit fly development and shows evidence of saturation of transport of mRNA through ring canals that engenders robustness of the localization process, in the face of significant variation in the levels of mRNA synthesis.
