Why reinvent the wheel when you can enhance it? We’ve focused on making SNAP-tag better. Stefanie Kühn developed SNAP-tag2, with an optimized substrate. Faster labeling, brighter fluorescence-this is the upgrade you've been waiting for!

‘We hebben op alle niveaus kennis en innovatie nodig om grote problemen in de maatschappij op te lossen. Als we bezuinigen op mensen die nieuwe kennis genereren, dan schieten we onszelf in de voet,’ reageert onze voorzitter Marcel levi op de bezuinigingen. Lees verder👇

'We weten dat je voor elke euro die je investeert in kennis en innovatie, er 3 of 4 euro terugkomt,' reageert Marcel levi bij EenVandaag op de bezuinigingen. Luister het fragment terug: nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/een…

"Basic" research is not basic at all (that's why we prefer to call it 'discovery' research) Thanks Mary Kavurma for sharing this video yesterday, it is such a great example of why discovery research matters and more investment is needed ACvA The Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR) youtube.com/watch?v=GmhD-R…

Hello everyone, excited to share our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… ---- Everyday, cells like this crawl through your body to protect you. While we know that their front 🔴 and back 🔵 polarity programs work together, how exactly do these two processes communicate? Lets chat!

Yesterday a Nobel prize was given for alpha fold. Alpha fold could not exist without the Protein Data Bank (PDB), a public database funded by US taxpayers. Every structural biologist in the world that deposited their structure to the PDB indirectly helped train alpha fold.

De bezuinigingen op onderwijs en onderzoek gaan grote negatieve gevolgen hebben voor het onderwijs en onderzoek in Nederland, waaronder het kankeronderzoek. Daarom hebben KWFKankerbestrijding Antoni van Leeuwenhoek The Netherlands Cancer Institute NFU IKNL nfk en UNL een brandbrief aan de Tweede Kamer gestuurd:

The ability of the animal body to self-assemble based on information encoded in our genomes is one of the most remarkable miracles of the living world. We now take for granted the idea that shared cellular machinery mediates this & read textbooks laying outmolecular details 1/n

My meager education in biology and evolution gave me the mistaken impression that evolution optimized everything. But it didn't. One example is the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). It goes from behind your ear, loops down below your aorta, and then back up to the voice-box 1/2

"Starting in the 80s, that investment in basic science began to pay off, driving a revolution in the molecular biology of cancer... US gov't funding for science strengthens the economy in ways beyond cures." I wrote today abt the case for science investment:
