Article Title: Image-based Morphological Profiling Reveals Signatures of Radiation Exposure
doi: 10.1101/2025.11.27.691043
Figure Lengend Snippet: A . Fibroblast cells were cultured in 96-well microplate format prior to being exposed to radiation. After exposure, the cells were incubated for a fixed period of time prior to undergoing Cell Painting. B . Exposed and control cells were fixed, permeabilized, and stained using a set of six Cell Painting dyes. The cells were then imaged in high-throughput using a confocal microscope. The resulting images were segmented to extract phenoprints (i.e., a phenotypic morphological profile) of healthy and radiation exposed cells. Phenoprints were aggregated at the well-level and unsupervised clustering was performed to determine morphological similarities and differences between experimental conditions.
