Ten-fold Robust Expansion Microscopy (TREx) is a new method for 10-fold physical expansion of specimens in one round of gel embedding, enabling nanoscale imaging of antibody stains and ultrastructural detail.
Snap-freezing of brain tissue reveals its true structure-showing that cells are less squashed together, and the connections between neurons are less enclosed than previously thought.
A broadly applicable method that faithfully preserves genetically labeled cellular structures for 3D electron microscopy (EM) and correlated light and electron microscopy (CLEM).

The three-dimensional structures of 50 sensory cilia present in the head of the adult C. elegans hermaphrodite have been reconstructed to provide a foundation for investigations into the mechanisms by which the diversity of cilia structures is generated and how this structural diversity is related to specific sensory neuron functions.
Correlative imaging of the heart at multiple spatial scales has the potential to revolutionize the way we understand deficiencies in congenital heart disease.

Respiratory activity and inner membrane organisation of mitochondria from Drosophila melanogaster break down during ageing, but mouse heart mitochondria appear to be protected against age-related damage.

Ultrastructural and imaging studies of cochlear ribbon synapses demonstrate cis- and trans-synaptic molecular and structural effects in the absence of the AMPA-type glutamate receptor subunit GluA3 during mouse development in ambient sound levels.

Multiple imaging modalities resolved the ultrastructure of single hematopoietic stem cells in their endogenous niche, allowing identification of dopamine beta-hydroxylase positive cells as a functional niche cell type.

Neocortical synapses in layer 4 of the human temporal lobe neocortex were quantitatively characterized, at the subcellular level, using high-end, high-resolution electron microscopy and 3D-volume reconstructions.
