We only EXCLUSIVELY use @reviewcommons.org for our papers. There is no point of doing otherwise. It is soooo much better.

New paper from the @rouxlab.bsky.social on Nature Communications! We study how membrane tension is spatially organized in cells. Using the mechanosensitive probe Flipper-TR to visualize tension across the plasma membrane of adherent cells and to dissect the conditions needed for a gradient to happen

Excited to share our team’s work on improving FLIM metabolic imaging. NC-PCA selectively removes shot noise without filters or training. The result? Clearer phasors, higher accuracy, & better biological insights.

So happy to announce our new preprint, “A geothermal amoeba sets a new upper temperature limit for eukaryotes.” We cultured a novel amoeba from Lassen Volcanic NP (CA, USA) that divides at 63°C (145°F) 🔥 - a new record for euk growth!

Redesign of Calmodulin for Genetically Encoded Zn2+ Sensing with High Dynamic Range
The development of genetically encoded Zn2+ probes (GEZPs) has been hindered by the limited signal transduction efficiency of natural zinc-binding domains, but the encoded Ca2+ indicators utilize the ...

Multiplexed imaging of G-proteins and ERK activity upon activation of CaSR
We have previously shown that the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) activates different G proteins and second messengers in single cells, and that GPCR and G protein-mediated ERK activity can be highly ...

When a larval zebrafish twitches its tail, the vascular endothelium lights up with a calcium signal, mediated by Piezo1. We used to think mechanosensing in endothelial cells was about sensing blood flow, but at least in this case it's about sensing body motion.
