“Magnetic resonance applications of hyperpolarized xenon at low field strengths” Low field strength magnetic resonance (MR) systems are appealing because of their lower cost and higher clinical accessibility, but the lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) inherent to this regime is a … Read more

Investigating Active Galactic Nuclei in Dwarf and Giant Galaxies in the Nearby Universe   Understanding the occurrence and properties of actively accreting black holes, known as Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), is crucial for unraveling the co-evolution of black holes and … Read more

Combined Atomic Force Microscopy and Light sheet Microscopy Characterize the Mechanobiology of Phagocytosis Phagocytosis is a force-driven cellular process that requires fine spatial and temporal control of the actin cytoskeleton to effectively ingest targets of engulfment. To dislodge disease-causing pathogens … Read more
