  • Publication number: 20240377292
    Abstract: Provided are a clearing and expansion method and an imaging method for biological tissue. The clearing and expansion method for biological tissue comprises: (1) degreasing a fixed biological tissue sample; (2) soaking the degreased biological tissue sample in a solution of gel monomer molecules, such that the monomer molecules permeate into the degreased biological tissue sample; (3) inducing a polymerization reaction of the monomer molecules permeating into the biological tissue sample so as to form a polymer gel; and (4) placing the biological tissue sample which has been subjected to a gelation treatment into water for expansion. The clearing and expansion method for biological tissue avoids the sample treatment steps of heating and enzymatic digestion that cause fluorescent quenching and the destruction of biological tissue, and thus has the advantages of high retention of endogenous fluorescent proteins, high mechanical strength of expanded biological tissue, a short sample treatment time, etc.

  • Publication number: 20240364906
    Abstract: A computing system receives a video bitstream that includes a current block and a syntax element indicating that the current block is to be predicted in a blending mode. The current block is encoded using information from first and second reference blocks. When a portion of the current block corresponds to a first area that (i) is within corresponding reference boundaries in both of the first and second reference blocks or (ii) is not within the corresponding reference boundaries in both of the first and second reference blocks, the system reconstructs the portion by averaging reference values from the first and second reference blocks. When the portion of the current block corresponds to a second area that is within the corresponding reference boundaries in only one of the first and second reference blocks, the system derives weighted reference values and reconstructs the portion by combining the weighted reference values.
