Combining Adaptive Optics with Lattice Lightsheet allows for super-resolution imaging in thick brain slices. Great talk from Maxime Malivert from BIC France-BioImaging Research Infrastructure at #FOM2024

It took a long time to have this chapter from the "EPS Grand Challenges" out. It is in an open version. Many interesting points of view! Physics for understanding life - goo.gl/scholar/hqeufv #ScholarAlerts

We are looking for a PostDoc to join our FuncyPhosphoLab team VIB Plant Science. Check this out if you are interested in working on temperature signalling: jobs.vib.be/j/72654/postdo…

The Plant Cell in a Nutshell: Casparian strip formation at root endodermal and non-endodermal cell layers in rice plantae.org/casparian-stri… ASPB #PlantSci

A long-awaited preprint! A "unicellular" animal relative that undergoes cleavage to give rise to a morula-like stage with different cell types, under the control of an endogenous developmental program - wow! I also love this because of its historical resonance (see below)

X10 was a very fun project, the single-step aspect at the time felt huge, compared to iterative ExM. Nowadays, it's superseded by much more reliable techniques (pro tip: MAGNIFY) in ways that it's not even funny ^^ This just goes to show how quickly ExM is evolving — fun field!

I am really proud to share our study on microbes, Striga and sorghum is now online in Cell Reports! doi.org/10.1016/j.celr… and the press release is here: biology.ucdavis.edu/news/soil-micr… This was an epic effort led by the incredible Dorota Kawa and many more + Harro Bouwmeester

Next-level in situ structures of ATP synthase conformational states inside native algal mitochondria. Congrats to Lea Dietrich and the whole crew!🙌 ...also, if you like the look of these segmented membranes, please give the MemBrain program a try😊 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great collaboration with Kenneth Madsen and collaborators on amphipatic helices and endocytosis. Bassereau Team also involved. Now on bioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

First preprint from the lab! 🥳 We serendipitously discovered an unconventional type of multicellular development for choanoflagellates: mixed clonal-aggregative multicellularity. A (long, sorry) 🧵 summarizing our main findings ⬇️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A new door to grow multicellular by combining both cell division and cell aggregation 😳

Congratulations again to Rishikesh Bhalerao from Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC) & SLU for being appointed as Wallenberg Scholar! Would you like to know more about the research he is planning to do with the funding from KAW? Have a look here: upsc.se/about-upsc/new…

If you are interested in Super resolution microscopy in plants, attend to this practical course at EMBL! Magali Grison and Poujol Christel will show you how to do dual color time-resolved STED in Arabidopsis root tip

Our next speaker for Institut Européen de Chimie et Biologie Friday seminar is Steven Moussu from LRSV. Open to the whole scientific community of Bordeaux. Friday April 5th at 11h00.
