The Lipid Brain Atlas is out now! If you think lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by Luca Fusar Bassini with Gioele La Manno's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

BREAKING NEWS The 2025 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.”

Welcome week for our new PhD candidates: An exciting program of talks and networking to help them get started. All the best for your research! By the way, the #IMPRS-BAC call is currently open until January! Interested candidates can apply here 👉 molgen.mpg.de/IMPRS

🚨 Exciting news – my final Birmingham paper, “Mapping membrane biophysical nano-environments”, is now available online and open access with @NatureComms! (1/4) doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

😍⚠️And it’s out in @J_Cell_Sci!! Our review on the opportunities and challenges of using Machine Learning in Microscopy research 🤖🔬! From using ML to curate data to using ML to give us more KNOWLEDGE about our data (i.e. Interpretation 😉) DOI: doi.org/10.1242/jcs.26… (1/n) ⬇️

🚨New Paper Alert🚨Explore our latest work on the Lysosomal BrainAtlas, now available on bioRxiv! This comprehensive resource maps lysosomal proteins in specific brain cell types and identifies SLC45A1 as a novel neuron-specific lysosomal sugar transporter doi.org/10.1101/2024.1…

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

We continue development of our Single Particle Profiler and now we make it more accessible for users who do not have FCS modality on their microscopes. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A thread🧵

Organic dyes can photoconvert, having unexpected effects on quantitative microscopy. Check out this lovely paper from the Carravilla and Eggeling labs on how photoblueing impacts confocal, STED, and FLIM experiments, and how exchangeable probes can help! nature.com/articles/s4159…

🚨New paper alert!🚨 We all know that microscope lasers cause undesired reactions in our samples, such as photobleaching. Here, we investigated photoblueing, a light-induced reaction that changes the emission colour of a dye. nature.com/articles/s4159…

This journey has been fantastic with the best supervisors and super exciting science!👩‍🔬 Thanks so much for everything Pablo, couldn’t have done it without you, the coffee breaks and Tanooki 🥹🌸

Brilliant work by Wiklander & EL Andaloussi Labs on extracellular vesicles for targeted cancer therapy! Also, Our single particle profiler technology in action: we used it to quantify the number of antibodies on the surface of exosomes. Link to paper👇 nature.com/articles/s4155…

Just out!🥳 Measuring membrane fluidity with FLIM🔬 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Lifetimes of NR12S, NR12A and Flipper show varying sensitivities to different lipid environments and exhibit longer lifetimes at longer emission wavelengths irrespective of membrane complexity.

What a great meeting #BPS2024 with inspiring science and colleagues.. CSI:Nano Lab members @CenkGurdap @YagmurBalim @f_ragaller appreciated the discussions, feedback and hospitality @BiophysicalSoc ..
