The system was integrated with a broadband anti-resonant hollow-core fiber featuring low transmission loss, minimal dispersion from 700 nm to 1,060 nm and high tolerance of laser power. By correcting chromatic and spherical aberrations and optimizing the fluorescence collection aperture, we achieved cortical neuronal imaging at depths exceeding 820 μm and, using a GRIN lens, hippocampal Ca2+ imaging at single dendritic spine resolution. Moreover, we engineered three interchangeable parfocal objectives, allowing for a tenfold scalable field of view up to 1 × 0.8 mm², with lateral resolutions ranging from 0.68 μm to 1.46 μm. By multicolor imaging at excitation wavelengths of 780 nm, 920 nm and 1,030 nm, we investigated mitochondrial and cytosolic Ca2+ activities relative to the deposition of amyloid plaques in the cortex of awake APP/PS1 transgenic mice. Thus, FHIRM-TPM 3.0 provides a versatile imaging system suitable for diverse brain imaging scenarios. FHIRM-TPM 3.0 is a miniature microscope for multicolor two-photon imaging in freely moving mice. In addition to the multicolor imaging abilities achieved with the help of a specially designed optical fiber, the microscope is also compatible with multiple lenses for a choice of field of view and resolution.","PeriodicalId":18981,"journal":{"name":"Nature Methods","volume":"22 9","pages":"1935-1943"},"PeriodicalIF":32.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144962093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This dataset encompasses 319,045,108 gene expression events, generated through 2 high-throughput technologies: the previously documented high-throughput sequencing-based high-throughput screening (HTS2) and the newly developed highly multiplexed and parallel sequencing (HiMAP-seq). Our results show that HiMAP-seq is comparable to RNA sequencing, but can profile the expression of thousands of genes across thousands of samples in one single test by utilizing a pooled-sample strategy. We further illustrate CIGS’s utility in elucidating the mechanism of action of unannotated small molecules, like ligustroflavone and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, and to identify perturbation-induced cell states, such as those resistant to ferroptosis.

A long-standing challenge in studying RBP regulation has been mapping RNA interactomes within the dynamic transcriptomic landscape, especially in single-cell contexts and primary tissues. Here we introduce MAPIT-seq (modification added to RBP interacting transcript-sequencing), which uses an antibody-directed editing strategy to map genome-wide in situ RBP–RNA interactions and gene expression concurrently. We demonstrate MAPIT-seq’s robustness across multiple RBPs and systematically analyze RNA substrates associated with core polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) components. MAPIT-seq is also applicable to frozen tissue sections, enabling the mapping of RBP roles during brain development. Importantly, we develop high-throughput single-cell MAPIT-seq (scMAPIT-seq) to reveal cell stage-specific RBP regulation. In summary, MAPIT-seq expands multi-omics profiling, providing an effective framework to study post-transcriptional regulation in dynamic biological processes and clinically relevant scenarios. This work presents MAPIT-seq, an antibody-guided RNA editing method that enables co-profiling of RBP-RNA interactions and gene expression at single-cell resolution and in tissue contexts.","PeriodicalId":18981,"journal":{"name":"Nature Methods","volume":"22 9","pages":"1824-1835"},"PeriodicalIF":32.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12446063/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144817186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
