Biomolecular and subcellular processes constitute a research area focused on the molecular mechanisms and dynamic interactions that underlie cellular function, organization, and regulation at nanometer to micrometer scales. It encompasses studies of protein folding and trafficking, nucleic acid structure and metabolism, signal transduction, membrane transport, organelle biogenesis, cytoskeletal dynamics, and macromolecular complex assembly. This field integrates biochemical, biophysical, structural, imaging, and computational approaches to quantify reaction kinetics, spatial organization, and emergent behaviors within cells, aiming to relate molecular-level events to higher-order cellular phenotypes, robustness, and dysfunction in contexts such as development, stress responses, and disease.
Recent years have witnessed great advances in applying deep learning to improve fluorescence microscopy imaging. However, enhancing the fidelity of image restoration networks and improving their robustness under fluorescence ...
