AbstractHere we describe an image processing pipeline for quantitative analysis of terabyte-scale volumetric images of SHIELD-processed mouse brains imaged with light-sheet microscopy. The pipeline utilizes open-source packages for destriping, stitching, and atlas alignment that are optimized for parallel processing. The destriping step removes stripe artifacts, corrects uneven illumination, and offers over 100x speed improvements compared to previously reported algorithms. The stitching module builds upon Terastitcher to create a single volumetric image quickly from individual image stacks with parallel processing enabled by default. The atlas alignment module provides an interactive web-based interface that automatically calculates an initial alignment to a reference image which can be manually refined. The atlas alignment module also provides summary statistics of fluorescence for each brain region as well as region segmentations for visualization. The expected runtime of our pipeline on a whole mouse brain hemisphere is 1-2 d depending on the available computational resources and the dataset size.

AbstractAiry beams exhibit intriguing properties such as nonspreading, self-bending, and self-healing and have attracted considerable recent interest because of their many potential applications in photonics, such as to beam focusing, light-sheet microscopy, and biomedical imaging. However, previous approaches to generate Airy beams using photonic structures have suffered from severe chromatic problems arising from strong frequency dispersion of the scatterers. Here, we design and fabricate a metasurface composed of silicon posts for the frequency range 0.4–0.8 THz in transmission mode, and we experimentally demonstrate achromatic Airy beams exhibiting autofocusing properties. We further show numerically that a generated achromatic Airy-beam-based metalens exhibits self-healing properties that are immune to scattering by particles and that it also possesses a larger depth of focus than a traditional metalens. Our results pave the way to the realization of flat photonic devices for applications to noninvasive biomedical imaging and light-sheet microscopy, and we provide a numerical demonstration of a device protocol.

AbstractAngiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, among them captopril, improve survival following myocardial infarction (MI). The mechanisms of captopril action remain inadequately understood due to its diverse effects on multiple signalling pathways at different time periods following MI. Here we aimed to establish the role of captopril in late-stage post-MI remodelling. Left anterior descending artery (LAD) ligation or sham surgery was carried out in male C57BL/6J mice. Seven days post-surgery LAD ligated mice were allocated to daily vehicle or captopril treatment continued over four weeks. To provide comprehensive characterization of the changes in mouse heart following MI a 3D light sheet imaging method was established together with automated image analysis workflow. The combination of echocardiography and light sheet imaging enabled to assess cardiac function and the underlying morphological changes. We show that delayed captopril treatment does not affect infarct size but prevents left ventricle dilation and hypertrophy, resulting in improved ejection fraction. Quantification of lectin perfused blood vessels showed improved vascular density in the infarct border zone in captopril treated mice in comparison to vehicle dosed control mice. These results validate the applicability of combined echocardiographic and light sheet assessment of drug mode of action in preclinical cardiovascular research.
