Traction force generation in Plasmodium sporozoites is modulated by a surface adhesin Plasmodium sporozoites are the highly polarised and motile forms of the malaria parasite transmitted by mosquitoes to the vertebrate hosts. Sporozoites use myosin motors to generate retrograde flow o....

"Traction force generation in Plasmodium sporozoites is modulated by a surface adhesin" by Johanna Ripp, Dimitri Probst, Mirko Singer, Ulrich S. Schwarz & Friedrich Frischknecht is available to view Open Access here > onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🔬The authors use traction force microscopy to investigate motile sporozoites and the forces they produce during migration on their ventral surface. Their findings demonstrate that TLP is an important element of the force-generating machinery during sporozoite gliding motility.

📣Open call for papers: AI in Imaging! The deadline for papers for the upcoming 'AI in Imaging' special issue has been extended to 31 July 2025.

The special issue will be guest edited by Gianluca Tozzi, Peter Soar & Tuan Nguyen, University of Greenwich.

Key challenges and future directions include enhancing precision, addressing uncertainty, and developing robust, predictive workflows for clinical and tissue engineering applications.

"An overview of reliable and representative DVC measurements for musculoskeletal tissues" doi.org/10.1111/jmi....

🔬Digital volume correlation is transforming musculoskeletal biomechanics by enabling 3D strain measurement in complex tissues under realistic loads. This review explores advances in multi-scale applications, in vivo integration, and coupling with computational models and, more recently, AI.

Ptychographic analysis of human bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cell morphology: The impact of cell senescence Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) undergo replicative senescence, a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest that limits their utility in regenerative medicine applications. To identify novel markers of se...

Read their #OpenAccess Journal of Microscopy paper "Ptychographic analysis of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell morphology: The impact of cell senescence" by Lorenzo Anconelli et al here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🔬The authors describe a comparison between young and senescent human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) using a non-invasive, label-free approach based on quantitative phase imaging (QPI) with the Livecyte microscope.

Confinement effects on the self–assembly behaviour of an amphiphilic quinonoid zwitterion at the liquid–solid interface Investigating how molecules naturally arrange themselves into organised patterns at the interface between liquids and solids – a process called two-dimensional self-assembly –provides insights into h....

This leads to a deeper understanding of the self-assembly process. "Confinement effects on the self–assembly behaviour of an amphiphilic quinonoid zwitterion at the liquid–solid interface" by Lihua Yu et al is available to view here:
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🔬This new study highlights that both in situ and ex situ nanocorrals serve as useful tools for understanding molecular self-assembly. By using these methods, key moments in the formation and growth of molecular patterns can be captured.

🔬The July 2025 issue of the Journal of Microscopy is now available to view online!

The issue features 8 original articles, 3 of which are #OpenAccess.

The issue is available to view here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/13652818...
