Flagellar beating drives sperm through the female reproductive tract and is vital for reproduction.
Flagellar waves are generated by thousands of asymmetric molecular components; yet, …

The reiterative process of lateral root (LR) formation is widespread and underlies root system
formation. However, early LR primordium (LRP) morphogenesis is not fully understood. In …

Intracellular Ca 2+ is a key regulator of cell signaling and sperm are not the exception. Cells
often use cytoplasmic Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i ) oscillations as a means to decodify …

Due to the wave nature of light, optical microscopy has a lower‐bound lateral resolution limit
of approximately half of the wavelength of visible light, that is, within the range of 200 to 350 …

The challenges faced in analyzing optical imaging data from neurons include a low signal-to-noise
ratio of the acquired images and the multiscale nature of the tubular structures that …

Tracing tubular structures from biomedical images is important for a wide range of applications.
Particularly, the spermatozoon is an essential cell whose flagella have a tubular form. Its …

Head rotation in human spermatozoa is essential for different swimming modes and
fertilisation, as it links the molecular workings of the flagellar beat with sperm motion in three-…

Human spermatozoa are the archetype of long-term self-organizing transport in nature and
are critical for reproductive success. They utilize coordinated head and flagellar movements …

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) primary and lateral roots (LRs) are well suited for 3D
and 4D microscopy, and their development provides an ideal system for studying …

Human spermatozoa must swim through the female reproductive tract, where they undergo
a series of biochemical and biophysical reactions called capacitation, a necessary step to …
