šŸ”„ New Fraticelli lab publicationšŸ”„ ā€œPre-existing stem cell heterogeneity dictates clonal responses to the acquisition of leukemia driver mutationsā€ Now at Cell Stem Cell, with two new figures, in vivo, and sequential mutagenesis data. Performed with the support of Cris Cancer and @erc.europa.eu

Totally agree. The election result is no surprise according to the latest predictions but that the far right party got double the votes they got last time is a very concerning outcome.

I'm thrilled that our paper is now online: www.nature.com/articles/s41... describing an elegant pH-triggered CIE. Thanks to everyone who made it an exciting and successful project @ewanmacdonald.bsky.social @cessvala.bsky.social @christianwunder.bsky.social #fluorescencefriday #microscopymonday

Just voted for the new German parliament. Go democracy!

Worst. Episode. EVER.

If we had to pick a favorite šŸ‘‡ "Geometry-driven asymmetric cell divisions pattern cell cycles and zygotic genome activation in the zebrafish embryo" from @heisenbergcplab.bsky.social et al. šŸ”— to preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... šŸ”— to full list: focalplane.biologists.com/2025/02/21/m...

Our preprints list is now up on FocalPlane! This week we focus on research that has applied microscopy to answer questions in biology. As always, let us know if there are any recent preprints that you think we should highlight. focalplane.biologists.com/2025/02/21/m...

Bravo @plos.org! US exec orders "stand in direct conflict with our core values, our mission, edit policies" "PLOS will not compromise on issues of scientific rigor & editorial integrity... we seek diversity because more expert voices make for better science" theplosblog.plos.org/2025/02/plos...

I started my lab more then 4 years ago, and we have endured some very challenging times ever since.ā€¦I am very excited to share the first paper from my lab, published now in @naturemethods.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Der neue US-Energieminister Chris Wright hat in seiner Antrittsrede scharfe Kritik an der deutschen Energiewende geƤuƟert. Doch die entscheidenden Zahlen, mit denen er argumentiert hat, sind frei erfunden. Ein Faktencheck im Climate.Table von @table.media (ā‚¬): table.media/climate/anal...

HHMI, CZI your local grad groupā€™s DEI committee (?) - the fear of retaliation is causing scientists across scales to abandon justice, morality and humanity. Fear is real - our response to the threat is in our control - we cower or confront. Your choice.

How do cells find their place in a developing embryo? Scientists have long wondered. A new study by the Hiiragi group uncovers how embryos achieve precise cell organization. Curious what breadcrumbs have to do with this? @prachitimoghe.bsky.social explains it here: www.hubrecht.eu/breadcrumb-t...

Delighted to share that my PhD work from the Hiiragi Lab is now published in Nature Cell Biology! We uncover the cellular mechanisms underlying pattern formation and how patterning robustness can be ensured during embryo development. Check out the full story: nature.com/articles/s41556-025-01618-9

I'm looking for a talented+motivated person to join my team at the #MechanobiologyInstitute @NUS for a #postdoc. If you're interested in investigating collective cell behavior during 3D tissue #morphogenesis with me, please apply here or PM for Qs. Please RT! careers.nus.edu.sg/job/Research...

We are hiring! If you are curious to understand how the mechanical integrity of epithelia is maintained without the tissue tearing, apply now! Phd and post-doctoral funding available

What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Letā€˜s welcome them.

ATTENTION (PLEASE SHARE) If anyone has or knows of any positions that might be appropriate for the NIH staff members who were terminated, please post the information in this thread. There are lots of talented and accomplished people who may be looking for new opportunities.

It is my first Bluesky post: I am thrilled that our work on MemGraft probes for ā€œpermanentā€ fluorescent labelling of plasma membranes is finally out in JACS Au! We established a concept of lipid-directed covalent labeling of plasma membranes. Open access article: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

ā€œThe worldā€™s a shit show, so why not put šŸ’© on a chip? Scientists created an iPSC-derived intestine-on-a-chip with fecal microbiotaā€”uncovering epithelium-specific biomarkers & microbial factors linked to melanoma outcomes. Cutting-edge #OrganOnChip tech! #ImmunoSky #MedSkyā€

Cool stuff from Andrey Klymchenko's lab. These plasma membrane labels are a pretty smart design. Check it out! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

The self-driving multiscale microscope from @daetwylerstephan.bsky.social is out. It can image an entire zebrafish embryo longitudinally and follow a volume of interest over time with high resolution. We used it to study cancer-immune cell interactions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We present: Direct-view oblique plane microscopy www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is awesome! The next evolution in mesoscopic OPM. Lamb et al dispense with the tertiary imaging system and put a camera directly into the remote space. Involves some modification of the imaging sensor - very cool!

After a long journey, Segment Anything for Microscopy is now published in Nature Methods! We significantly improve SAM for interactive and automatic segmentation in light and electron microscopy and build a user-friendly tool. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share our new work with Frank JĆ¼licher on noise control & concentration buffering in intracellular condensates! There has been confusion about these concepts, which we aim to address in this paper. www.cell.com/cell-systems...

Learn about the differences of noise buffering and noise reduction mediated by biomolecular condensates. A report from our former colleague Chris Zechner and Frank JĆ¼licher from the MPI-PKS @zechnerlab.bsky.social @mpipks.bsky.social @poldresden.bsky.social

Making intrabodies from antibodies just got easier! Learn how we made šŸ­šŸµ intrabodies to bind and light up peptides and histone modifications in live cells. And thanks to Academia, all sequences are freely available. (video credit: Yuko Sato @YukoSatoT2) (1/15) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
