Expansion microscopy: principles and uses in biological research

AT Wassie, Y Zhao, ES Boyden - Nature methods, 2019 - nature.com
Many biological investigations require 3D imaging of cells or tissues with nanoscale spatial
resolution. We recently discovered that preserved biological specimens can be physically …

Expansion sequencing: Spatially precise in situ transcriptomics in intact biological systems

S Alon, DR Goodwin, A Sinha, AT Wassie, F Chen… - Science, 2021 - science.org
… We localized genes that had been found in dendrites of CA1 pyramidal cells at the protein
level but had not been mapped at the mRNA level, such as γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A …

Nanoscale imaging of RNA with expansion microscopy

F Chen, AT Wassie, AJ Cote, A Sinha, S Alon… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
… For DNAse I, samples were treated with DNAse I at 0.5 U/μL for 6 h at room temperature.
For formamide stripping, samples were treated with 100% formamide at 6 h at 37 C. …

Iterative expansion microscopy

…, S Asano, HJ Suk, N Pak, PW Tillberg, AT Wassie… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
We recently developed a method called expansion microscopy, in which preserved
biological specimens are physically magnified by embedding them in a densely crosslinked …

[PDF][PDF] Clonal decomposition and DNA replication states defined by scaled single-cell genome sequencing

…, D Goodwin, E Karagiannis, A Sinha, AT Wassie… - Cell, 2019 - cell.com
… First, we show that whole-chromosome aneuploidy, which occurs at low prevalence and
does not result in clonal amplification, is visible as whole-chromosome gains and losses at a …

Expansion microscopy: protocols for imaging proteins and RNA in cells and tissues

SM Asano, R Gao, AT Wassie… - Current protocols in …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
… Incubate the cells with secondary antibodies in blocking buffer on a shaker at low speed
for 2 to 4 hr at room temperature or overnight at 4C. If using antibodies conjugated with dyes, …

Revealing nanostructures in brain tissue via protein decrowding by iterative expansion microscopy

D Sarkar, J Kang, AT Wassie, ME Schroeder… - Nature biomedical …, 2022 - nature.com
… Many crowded, biomolecule-rich structures are at the core of biological functions and …
decrowding effect of ExR, with both being imaged at the same level of resolution, we demonstrate …
