چکیده
The invention of the microscope has been fundamental for the understanding of tissue architecture and subcellular structures. With the advancement of higher magnification microscopes came the development of various molecular biology tools such as Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and in situ proximity ligation assay (in situ PLA) to monitor protein interactions. Microscopy has become a commonly used method for the investigation of molecular events within the cell, for the identification of key players in signaling networks, and the activation of these pathways. Multiple approaches are available for functional analyses in single cells. They provide information not only on the localization of proteins at a given time point, but also on their expression levels and activity states, allowing us to pinpoint hallmarks of different cellular identities within tissues in health and disease. Clever solutions to increase the sensitivity of molecular tools, the possibilities for multiplexing, as well as image resolution have recently been introduced; however, these methods have their pros and cons. Therefore, one needs to carefully consider the biological question of interest along with the nature of the sample before choosing the most suitable method or combination of methods. Herein, we review a few of the most exciting microscopy-based molecular techniques for proteomic analysis and cover the benefits as well as the disadvantages of their use.

متن کاملOn Rad-H-supplemented Modules
Let M be a right R-module. We call M Rad-H-supplemented iffor each Y M there exists a direct summand D of M such that(Y + D)/D (Rad(M) + D)/D and (Y + D)/Y (Rad(M) + Y )/Y .It is shown that:(1) Let M = M1M2, where M1 is a fully invariant submodule of M.If M is Rad-H-supplemented, thenM1 andM2 are Rad-H-supplemented.(2) Let M = M1 M2 be a duo module and Rad--supplemented. IfM1 is radical M2-...
متن کاملOn H-cofinitely supplemented modules
A module $M$ is called $emph{H}$-cofinitely supplemented if for every cofinite submodule $E$ (i.e. $M/E$ is finitely generated) of $M$ there exists a direct summand $D$ of $M$ such that $M = E + X$ holds if and only if $M = D + X$, for every submodule $X$ of $M$. In this paper we study factors, direct summands and direct sums of $emph{H}$-cofinitely supplemented modules. Let $M$ be an $emph{H}...

متن کامل"But let me talk": An Investigation into Teachers' Interaction Patterns in EFL Classrooms
Drawing on Walsh's (2012) idea that boosting learners' contribution and interaction can play a key role in their foreign language learning, this mixed-methods study tried to cast some light on the ways by which teachers, via their choice and use of language, create or block learners' contribution in direct interactions in the classroom. A total of 800-minute recordings of 10 teachers' talks and...
