2/2 If you’re into #cellbio, cellular interfaces, #mechanobiology, #membranes, anything related, come to Münster, Germany, May 27–29!

www.uni-muenster.de/SFB1348/en/i...

Please spread the word. It’s a fantastic (and FREE!) meeting. And while you’re here, explore Münster… it’s worth it.

1/2 A special #FluorescenceFriday for me! 🌈
Live muscle precursors on a pupal fly testis (Lifeact-eGFP, 🔥-depth-coded).

It's special because this is on the poster for the @sfb1348.bsky.social Meeting in May — my first time being featured as a speaker on a poster! 😀

Feeling very grateful & excited!

🚨How do we implement synthetic fluorophores into biosensors? Have a look at Elias Dressler’s review article in Chimia. The issue highlights the work of Young Professors and Ambizione Fellows in Switzerland. Glad to be part of this vibrant community. ⚗️ www.chimia.ch/chimia/artic...

So called microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) are not "organizing centers". They don't control their position (network center), nor MT orientation, length and shape (network shape). The actual organizers are MTs, molecular motors and regulators of MT +ends. MTOCs nucleate MTs.
Let's rename MTOCs.

This looks great! OrganoidTracker 2.0 performs tracking AND returns estimate of the tracking error rate **locally**.
Interesting for frameworks that guide users towards plausible tracking mistakes
