CaptuRING: A do‐it‐yourself tool for wood sample digitization

…, Á García‐Pedrero, D Colón… - Methods in Ecology …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Standard procedures to obtain high‐quality images of wood samples have become a
bottleneck in the digitization of dendrochronology. Digitization is currently dominated by flatbed …

Spatially isotropic four-dimensional imaging with dual-view plane illumination microscopy

…, CM Waterman, Z Bao, DA Colón-Ramos… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Optimal four-dimensional imaging requires high spatial resolution in all dimensions, high
speed and minimal photobleaching and damage. We developed a dual-view, plane …

Glia Promote Local Synaptogenesis Through UNC-6 (Netrin) Signaling in C. elegans

DA Colón-Ramos, MA Margeta, K Shen - Science, 2007 - science.org
Neural circuits are assembled through the coordinated innervation of pre- and postsynaptic
partners. We show that connectivity between two interneurons, AIY and RIA, in …

Inverted selective plane illumination microscopy (iSPIM) enables coupled cell identity lineaging and neurodevelopmental imaging in Caenorhabditis elegans

…, G Rondeau, Z Bao, D Colón-Ramos… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
The Caenorhabditis elegans embryo is a powerful model for studying neural development,
but conventional imaging methods are either too slow or phototoxic to take full advantage of …

[PDF][PDF] Glycolytic enzymes localize to synapses under energy stress to support synaptic function

…, K Underwood, EM Jorgensen, DA Colón-Ramos - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
Changes in neuronal activity create local and transient changes in energy demands at
synapses. Here we discover a metabolic compartment that forms in vivo near synapses to meet …

Dual-view plane illumination microscopy for rapid and spatially isotropic imaging

…, E McCreedy, A Bokinsky, DA Colón-Ramos… - Nature protocols, 2014 - nature.com
We describe the construction and use of a compact dual-view inverted selective plane
illumination microscope (diSPIM) for time-lapse volumetric (4D) imaging of living samples at …

Reaper eliminates IAP proteins through stimulated IAP degradation and generalized translational inhibition

CL Holley, MR Olson, DA Colón-Ramos… - Nature cell …, 2002 - nature.com
Inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) inhibit caspases, thereby preventing proteolysis of apoptotic
substrates. IAPs occlude the active sites of caspases to which they are bound 1 , 2 , 3 and can …

[PDF][PDF] KIF1A/UNC-104 transports ATG-9 to regulate neurodevelopment and autophagy at synapses

AKH Stavoe, SE Hill, DH Hall, DA Colón-Ramos - Developmental cell, 2016 - cell.com
Autophagy is a cellular degradation process important for neuronal development and
survival. Neurons are highly polarized cells in which autophagosome biogenesis is spatially …

Rapid image deconvolution and multiview fusion for optical microscopy

…, A Upadhyaya, TB Usdin, Z Bao, D Colon-Ramos… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
The contrast and resolution of images obtained with optical microscopes can be improved
by deconvolution and computational fusion of multiple views of the same sample, but these …

Jargon as a barrier to effective science communication: Evidence from metacognition

OM Bullock, D Colón Amill… - Public …, 2019 - journals.sagepub.com
In this experiment (N = 650), we examine the negative consequences of jargon on individuals’
perceptions of emerging scientific technology and aim to explain these effects. We find …
