Functional assays of non-canonical splice-site variants in inherited retinal dystrophies genes
Abstract Inherited retinal dystrophies are a group of disorders characterized by the progressive degeneration of photoreceptors leading to loss of the visual function Bassinets and eventually to legal blindness.Although next generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized the molecular diagnosis of these diseases, the pathogenicity of some mutations

Q&A: Expansion microscopy
Abstract Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a recently invented technology that uses swellable Bassinets charged polymers, synthesized densely and with appropriate topology throughout a preserved biological specimen, to physically magnify the specimen 100-fold in volume, or more, in an isotropic fashion.ExM enables nanoscale resolution imaging of preser
