Constanze Depp is finding that microglia aren't any better at multitasking than we are—and that likely contributes to the development of Alzheimer's. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪 🧠

Chatgpt uses em-dashes quite often & people started using the presence of em-dashes to raise concern that something (ex: homework) was written by ai. So the only reason anyone would instruct chatgpt to not use em-dashes is to hide the fact that the work was chatgpt generated. Groundbreaking ethics!

MISO: microfluidic protein isolation enables single-particle cryo-EM structure determination from a single cell colony.

Or from a single dish of HEK cell culture in the case of two membrane proteins.

Out in Nature Methods now! lnkd.in/gpyBSceg

Wonderful collaboration with the Efremov lab.

I won't talk about NMeth @natmethods.nature.com forever (probably), but I do want to brag a bit about the November focus issue on cell segmentation and tracking, which is many ways is my last hurrah (and final editorial) for the journal. I am so proud of these papers!! www.nature.com/nmeth/volume...

Local #mRNAtranslation in polarized cells is well studied in neurons but what about #microglia? This study shows that #inflammation enhances microglial #RNA localization & translation via RNA-binding protein IMP1/ZBP1, regulating morphology, motility & phagocytosis @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/486ZLMS

Diving into the literature… I think it's the first time I see correlative live-cell/EM data after photobleaching - it shows how intense light can actually destroy microtubules rather than just bleach fluorescent tubulin along a neurite (from onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...)
