Sustained elevation of extracellular dopamine causes motor dysfunction and selective degeneration of striatal GABAergic neurons.

abstract：:Imaging membranes in live cells with nanometer-scale resolution promises to reveal ultrastructural dynamics of organelles that are essential for cellular functions. In this work, we identified photoswitchable membrane probes and obtained super-resolution fluorescence images of cellular membranes. We demonstrated the p...
