This paper presents a novel maximum posteriori estimator for enhancing the spatial resolution of an image using co-registered high spatial-resolution imagery from auxiliary sensor. Here, we focus on use high-resolution panchomatic data to enhance hyperspectral imagery. However, estimation framework developed allows any number spectral bands in primary and image. The proposed technique is suitable applications where some correlation, either localized or global, exists between being enhanced....
Phototransduction in Drosophila microvillar photoreceptor cells is mediated by a G protein-activated phospholipase C (PLC). PLC hydrolyzes the minor membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)), leading an unknown mechanism to activation of prototypical transient receptor potential (TRP) and TRP-like (TRPL) channels. We found that light exposure evoked rapid PLC-mediated contractions modulated activity mechanosensitive channels introduced into cells. Furthermore, responses...
Cell and organelle membranes consist of a complex mixture phospholipids (PLs) that determine their size, shape, function. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the most abundant phospholipid in eukaryotic membranes, yet how cells sense regulate its levels vivo remains unclear. Here we show PCYT1A, rate-limiting enzyme PC synthesis, intranuclear re-locates to nuclear membrane response need for PL synthesis yeast, fly, mammalian cells. By aligning imaging with lipidomic analysis data-driven modeling,...
Color and motion information are thought to be channeled through separate neural pathways, but it remains unclear whether how these pathways interact improve perception. In insects, such as Drosophila, has long been believed that is fed exclusively by one spectral class of photoreceptor, so-called R1 R6 cells; whereas R7 R8 photoreceptors, which exist in multiple classes, subserve color vision. Here, we report also contribute the pathway. By using electrophysiological, optical, behavioral...
