Can we treat brain disorders by restoring neural connections? For centuries, neuroscientists could only guess. But connectomics—a method seeking to create a 3D model of every neural connection in the brain—is moving closer to providing answers. E11 Bio is at the forefront...🧵

Expansion Microscopy is always amazing to me - here is a dividing U2OS cell expanded ~10X and imaged using a 25X objective! 🔬 A total protein stain using maleimide gives further context.
