With all the current problems and conflicts in the world, there's one more alarming thing 👇

it's not every day that you receive emails from nobel laureates

Mic drop of the day!

This is so heartbreaking, it leaves me speechless, literally

Alexa647 you’re getting company

You need a proteins, but a few only and delivered in a non-invasive manner? For single molecule imaging maybe? Or to reconstitute functioning a knockout? Purba Kashyap has the solution! So excited to see it out. Constructs soon on Addgene nature.com/articles/s4159…

Das Team um Biochemiker Ewerslab und Purba Kashyap hat eine neue Technik entwickelt, mit der durch kurze Laserblitze Proteine in Zellen sichtbar gemacht werden können. Die Studie dazu ist nun in Nature Methods erschienen. Alle Infos ➡️ fu-berlin.de/presse/informa…

Total internal reflection visualisation is never getting old

Shine some UV light and a vesicle eats a condensate. Switch it off, and it releases it.

ExM-review online! Nadja M. Hümpfer (she/her) @RiaThielhorn and I describe how ExM works, how to do experiments and control them properly. Plus list of everything you need to know and where to find it! Thx to Ali H. Shaib Silvio Rizzoli & Hofkens Lab for sharing data. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

this is my last desperate attempt to reach the people in the lab, if it doesn't work i'll give up and lose my faith in humanity for good

Finally it is out 😁. Our review on #expansion microscopy summarizes the key steps of sample prep and gives an overview of the different methods. Perfect for novices to the field 🧑🏽‍🔬

Working on this with @RiaThielhorn and Ewerslab fundamentally deepened my understanding of #ExM. I hope it will be useful for others who want to get started in #Expansion #Microscopy 🔬🦠journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

Paper out: Gene encoded nanoparticles (GEMs) with 180 GFPs are cool tools to track in cells. GEMs reveal biophysical basis of infection, too. Using GPI-anchored nanobody receptors over 6 logs of affinity shows that adhesion energy alone explains uptake! rdcu.be/dFddO

Glad to see my PhD work from the Ewerslab lab out now in Nature Communications. Check it out if you want to know more about the biophysics behind lipid-mediated endocytosis.

Amazing work! Raluca Groza is an impressively talented scientist and it was a great experience to be involved in this project. PIs keep your eyes open for applications.

'Cycling is fun and games, but we simply need cars to get our groceries!!1!' 🇳🇱 Dutch guy: "Hold my Grolsch🍺. Literally"

Here’s the big one: In collaboration with Alf Honigmann, Shevchenko Lab, Björn Drobot and Martin Hof we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fantastic work André and Juan. Making visible what could not easily be seen before 👀.

To grow a bud, yeast needs to polarize and form a septin ring. But how is the ring diameter controlled and why is it linked to #cellsize? Sebastian Persson CvijovicLab Francesco Padovani Robert Schneider biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
