Breaking the 'tunnel vision' limitation: Xi Peng laboratory develops a generic large-view-aggregation fluorescence image restoration network

Peking University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Peking University, June 9, 2026: 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 noise remain significant challenges. Professor Xi Peng's team from the College of Future Technology at Peking University has developed LargePNet, a novel general-purpose fluorescence image restoration network. By exploiting large-view structural correlations in biological fluorescence images, LargePNet aggregates large-view statistical information through a dedicated network architecture, overcoming the loss of global contextual information caused by conventional patch-based training. The method significantly improves restoration accuracy and large-size image inference efficiency. The work, entitled 'Pushing the limits of fluorescence imaging with a restoration neural network aggregating large-view statistics,' was recently published in Nature Communications, providing powerful imaging support for long-term live-cell fluorescence imaging and multicolor super-resolution microscopy.

TGFB1 and PADI2 identified as key regulators of pancreatic cancer growth

Chinese Medical Journals Publishing House Co., Ltd.

A new study uses 3D tumor spheroid models to screen 365 human cytokines, finding TGFB1 inhibits pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) growth specifically in 3D cultures. Researchers also identify PADI2 as a critical survival factor induced by TGFB1 in 3D, offering potential therapeutic targets for this lethal cancer.

A warmer world may redraw Earth’s sunlight map

Science China Press
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study published in National Science Review has revealed that global warming may reshape the distribution of sunlight reaching Earth’s surface. Climate models project reduced downward surface solar radiation over polar regions but increased radiation over Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes, especially in local summer. The contrast is driven by increased atmospheric water vapor, reduced mid-latitude clouds, and enhanced polar cloud liquid water.
