Expansion microscopy facilitates quantitative super-resolution studies of cytoskeletal structures in kinetoplastid parasites

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Expansion microscopy (ExM) has become a powerful super-resolution method in cell biology. It is a simple, yet robust approach, which does not require any instrumentation or reagents beyond those present in a standard microscopy facility. In this study, we used kinetoplastid parasites Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania major, which possess a complex, yet well-defined microtubule-based cytoskeleton, to...
