Lipid packing, protein dynamics and inner-leaflet surface charge of the plasma membrane are significantly altered during infection by Influenza A virus. We would be very thankful about feedback on this preprint manuscript.

Last chance to apply: a rare permanent position in academia for someone with a microscopy background in the most liveable city in the world!

Really? Now with a NIR co-illumination, you can reduce photobleaching effects of FPs in ~1.5–9.2-fold, as well as the associated phototoxicity. doi.org/10.1038/s41587…

If you have any doubts about the importance of lipid structure, here’s a good smack in the face

Participate and help us spread the word about the 5th Annual Advanced Microscopy and Biophotonics workshop. This year the Workshop has the presential participation of a large number of colleagues. Do not miss it!!!

Today our #DPGVirusSchool startet at the #Physikzentrum Bad Honnef. Great start into the week with amazing talks by Reidun Twarock on viral tiling theory, Michael Hagan from Hagan Lab on capsid assembly, and Gonen Golani on viral membrane fusion
