AI-directed voxel extraction and volume EM identify intrusions as sites of mitochondrial contact

Membrane contact sites (MCSs) establish organelle interactomes in cells to enable communication and exchange of materials. Volume EM (vEM) is ideally suited for MCS analyses, but semantic segmentation of large vEM datasets remains challenging. Recent adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) for segmentation has greatly enhanced our analysis capabilities. However, we show that organelle boundaries, which […]
