    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying molecules that are biologically active against a disease, where the method can comprise culturing a first mammalian cell population under organoid formation conditions in the presence of a test molecule to obtain a first organoid, wherein the first mammalian cell population, when cultured under the organoid formation conditions in the absence of the test molecule, results in an organoid with a disease phenotype; imaging the first organoid following exposure to the test molecule; analyzing one or more images of the first organoid using a neural network that has been trained to assign a probability score of disease or non-disease ranging between 0% and 100%; assigning the first organoid a probability score ranging between 0% and 100%; wherein the test molecule is biologically active against the disease if the probability score of the first organoid is greater than a cutoff probability score of non-disease or lower than a cutoff probability score of disease.

    Abstract: A multi-photon imaging system includes a laser module having a first channel for outputting a two-photon excitation laser pulse and a second channel for outputting a three-photon excitation laser pulse. The system further includes a first optical path for guiding the two-photon laser pulse from the first channel of the laser module and a second optical path for guiding the three-photon laser pulse from the second channel of the laser module. A microscope is also provided for simultaneously receiving the two-photon laser pulse from the first optical path and the three-photon laser pulse from the second optical path, and simultaneously, or with well controllable delays, delivering the two-photon laser pulse and the three-photon pulse to a target volume. The system further includes a photodetector configured to collect photons generated within the target volume in response to simultaneous excitation of the target volume by both the two-photon laser pulse and the three-photon laser pulse.

    Abstract: Provided is an isolated or recombinantly expressed protein comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 (CARD1), or an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to the sequence of CARD1. Methods for producing and isolating the CARD1 protein are provided. Also provided are methods that include using CARD1, Cas1O and RNA obtained from a biological sample, and a guide RNA targeted to an RNA polynucleotide that may be in the biological sample, and determining whether or not the CARD1 cleaves a reporter ssDNA or reporter ssRNA that is added to the sample, to determine the presence or absence of the RNA polynucleotide. Kits for use in the assay are also provided.
