In a new @SciReports study, researchers performed 3D reconstructive, histological analyses and immunohistochemistry on postmortem human inner ear specimens. This sheds new light on endolymphatic hydrops, paving the way for new therapies: go.nature.com/4kgZ9IS

☕ + 🧫 = 🔬 Researchers at @tugraz have discovered that ordinary espresso can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to toxic uranyl acetate for staining biological samples in #ElectronMicroscopy! Check out how they did it: bit.ly/4ti2lrQ

🔎 Glycogen and mucosubstances don’t stand a chance. This periodic acid fluorescent Schiff protocol helps you get crisp, high-contrast fluorescence imaging from neutral buffered formalin–fixed tissue samples: bit.ly/4kw7ecT

Passive tissue-clearing methods rely on sodium dodecyl sulfate as a delipidating detergent, which can cause tissue damage. To address this, researchers developed a novel passive tissue clearing technique: OptiMuS-prime. More details here: go.nature.com/3MiRtcM

Adult female with history of high-grade uroth. CA. Surveillance cystoscopy showed multiple yellow-tan plaques near trigone. What's your diagnosis? #gupath for #pathresidents Diagnosis & additional images in the comment below.

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. 😯 This bidirectional quantitative scattering microscope detects both forward and backward scattered light from cells. bit.ly/4rDcmyg

How do different brain cell types connect with each other? We're mapping the brain to learn more. In this video from our #ElectronMicroscopy team, we see how complex brain cells can be. #BrainAwarenessWeek

This one's for all staining experts.🫟 As you advance your knowledge to answer the big questions, take a moment to brush up on the basics of staining. Learn about staining chemistry, methods, and more. bit.ly/45WakRx

📶 Level up your #FluorescenceMicroscopy with hybrid-EDA! Dr. Suliana Manley's team at @EPFL_en have developed an event-driven acquisition (EDA) framework that combines the gentleness and richness of phase-contrast with the specificity of fluorescence: go.nature.com/4by4xFo

This bladder tumor had a little bit of everything....adult male with gross hematuria and a large bladder mass. #gupath

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is great for non-invasive analysis of transparent specimens, but it can be slow, complex, and have image degradation. The Wetzstein lab's (@Stanford) new QPI platform addresses this by integrating nanophotonic metasurfaces with AI: go.nature.com/4q136Tn

🤖 New research reveals that some AI-powered pathology models may be learning data center “fingerprints” instead of real cancer biology, quietly undermining detection accuracy across datasets. This deep dive unpacks how hidden biases creep into computational pathology and why fixing them is critical for cancer diagnostics: go.nature.com/4a9hoeJ

We hear 2016 is making a comeback, so let's give this 2016 honorable mention showing Micrasterias rotata cell division some love this #SmallWorldInMotionMonday! bit.ly/3OEnKf3 Credit: Wim van Egmond
