New preprint for all you paraffin embedding-lovers out there, with Amer Ramdedovic Linus Butt Martin Höhne Bernhard Schermer and others.

In the past decade, new optical imaging techniques have been developed for visualizing parts of the filtration barrier. This study investigates how clearing and swelling protocols perform with paraffin embedded tissue/biopsies bit.ly/KID0005882021 David Unnersjö-Jess Amer Ramdedovic

Assessment of the ultrastructure of podocytes at the glomerular filtration barrier is essential. This study successfully modifies protocols to allow for deep three-dimensional STED and confocal imaging of FFPE kidney tissue bit.ly/KID0005882021 David Unnersjö-Jess Amer Ramdedovic

New preprint out. Using 3D high-resolution imaging, we found that the orientation of podocyte processes is likely governed by the mechanical forces acting on them. Thanks to all co-authors! Amer Ramdedovic Linus Butt Martin Höhne Bernhard Schermer biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Advanced optical imaging reveals preferred spatial orientation of #podocyte processes along the axis of glomerular capillaries. doi.org/10.1016/j.kint… #glomerulus #ultrafiltration

New paper out where we show that podocyte processes are not randomly oriented on glomerular capillaries. Thanks to all the great people who contributed! Linus Butt Amer Ramdedovic Martin Höhne @HBrismar Bernhard Schermer
