Salditt Lab

We have an open position as research assistant / Ph.D. in X-ray Generation in Waveguides. See the details at uni-goettingen.de/en/644546.html…

📣 The Max Planck Schools invite outstanding scientists to apply for this year's Fellows Open Call. Join a unique network and train ambitious international PhD students in three highly interdisciplinary fields: Cognition, Matter to Life and Photonics! bit.ly/4cTuxcd

In our recent paper we used X-ray #diffraction @esrfsynchrotron (ID02) to resolve the molecular motor spacing and other #muscle properties in single #heart cells. This is a promising way to gain insight into the molecular mechanism of heart contraction: doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.…

High-throughput, quantification & classification of soft tissue samples are key for #biomedical studies. Here, we present a laboratory #XPCT #imaging & analysis workflow for 3D #histology (e.g., for #SARSCov2 drug testing): rdcu.be/dJlqV @uniGoettingen @Loeffler_News

3D imaging of protein aggregates in human neurodegeneration by multiscale X-ray phase-contrast tomography medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #medRxiv

This acoustically driven bubble emits flashes of light during its periodic violent collapses and was imaged with single X-ray free-electron laser pulses @EuropeanXFEL in our recent study: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… @JMR_Research @uniGoettingen #SBSL #cavitation #holography

On another note: In this freshly published work, oblique jetting through the center of a laser-induced cavitation #bubble in water is revealed by single-shot X -ray holography at the @EuropeanXFEL ! @uniGoettingen @desynews #TUWien #MID doi.org/10.1007/s00348…

In this latest publication, we study the formation of vesicle condensates induced by the protein synapsin, as a cell-free model system mimicking vesicle pool formation in the synapse. If your interest is sparked, have a look here: doi.org/10.1140/epje/s…

📣 You can now apply to the Max Planck School Matter to Life and join us in 2024! 🔥 Whether you apply to the MSc to PhD Direct Track Program or our ten-week paid research internships - we are looking forward to your application! (Deadline: 1 Dec, 2023) mattertolife.maxplanckschools.org/application

Scientists around @ConstanzeDepp, @TingSun_MPINAT & @KlausNave have now shown that defective #myelin actively promotes disease-related changes in #Alzheimer’s. Read more about their #research findings here: ⬇ @Nature #nervecell #amyloidplaques #microglia mpinat.mpg.de/4463902/pr_2308

The lung, with its intricate networks of ventilation and vasculature, is an ideal example of how #3D structure enables organ function! In our latest publication, we explore human lung tissue by #XPCT to study pathological abnormalities at various scales: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Wondering how to take #Xrays images of a single cell in an aqueous environment? Our new method uses a hydrophobically patterned substrate to confine a water droplet and precise positioning with micropipettes to record X-ray holograms: scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?… @uniGoettingen #ESRF

In our recent study, we collected and analyzed 3D brain tissue from patients suffering from #MultipleSclerosis. Using OT theory, we found that neurons in the human cerebellum of MS patients move to a more compact nuclear state. Read our findings here: shorturl.at/bmJP2

Last week, we participated in the #CRC1456 "Mathematics of Experiment" retreat, which focuses on the challenge of indirect measurements in natural sciences. We are grateful for these three fruitful and stimulating days where scientists from very different fields came together!

In our recent project, we combined #XFEL holography and scattering of laser-induced shock waves. The results indicate that water molecules rearrange to a dense, simple liquid structure. If your interest is sparked, read the full text here: doi.org/10.1063/5.0131… @EuropeanXFEL

Last week, we participated in the yearly organized #UserMeeting2023 @desy. Great to hear about the accomplishments which were achieved at the #synchrotron last year and excited about all the coming experiments at GINIX as well as the opportunities which will come with #PETRAIV

Colour images from the shadow of a sample? Scientists at our Uni developed a new way to produce colour X-ray images. Their method and algorithm allow an image of a large area to be produced from a single exposure: ogy.de/4n17, doi.org/10.1364/OPTICA… @OpticaPubsGroup

We have developed a novel approach to full-field x-ray #fluorescence #microscopy that uses a Fresnel zone plate as a coded aperture. Read the details here: opg.optica.org/optica/fulltex… @uniGoettingen
