Single-cell phenotypic analysis and multiplet detection through incorporation of microscopy data into cellenONE-based single-cell proteomic data analysis
The reliability of single-cell proteomics (SCP) is intrinsically linked to the fidelity of cell isolation; however, the identification of co-isolated cells (doublets or multiplets) remains a persisten...

For an internal talk, I wanted an easy way to disprove the prevailing myth that expansion microscopy gels expand due to repulsion between charged polymer strands. I did a quick calculation of the supposed energy released during a standard experiment and it's equivalent to a small nuclear bomb...
A calculation of the energy released by four-fold swelling of a 5 mm expansion microscopy hydrogel, containing 1 mmol of sodium acrylate. The calculation assumes a sphere of uniform charge density, in water, and gives an energy of 9.4E13 Joules, or approximately 22.5 kilotons of TNT.

SPIN90 modulates the architecture of lamellipodial actin in an ARPC5L dependent fashion.
When stimulated by nucleation-promoting factors such as WAVE, the Arp2/3 complex generates branched actin networks. In contrast, when activated by SPIN90, the Arp2/3 complex generates linear actin fil...

CC-NLRs exhibit diverse conformations in the resting state. Figure depicts different NLR resting and activated states. While ZAR1 exists as a monomer bound to its guardees in its resting state, several forms have been observed for the NRC2 helper, including dimers, tetramers, and filaments. While filament-like structures were observed via confocal microscopy for NRC2 upon overexpression in planta, these structures were not detected for its paralog NRC4, suggesting a potentially different resting state configuration for NRC4. Our work suggests that the Pik CC-NLR pair forms a hetero-complex bound to the plasma membrane in its resting state. How effector binding to the integrated domain (ID) of the Pik-1 sensor leads to the activation of the complex remains to be determined.

Forbidden Noodles for an early #FossilFriday. These are 1.3 (ish) billion year old fossil filaments exposed on a bedding plane and imaged via electron microscopy. Deets in Alt text. #Geology #Paleontology
Greyscale image of noodle-like fossils on a rock surface. The image is back scattered electrons which make atomically denser materials appear relatively lighter. The sedimentary rock is rich in iron and magnesium so appears pale grey. The fossils are made of atomically less dense organic carbon, and appear dark grey to black. The view is 6 mm across.

Endogenous tagging of novel proteins confirms supervised cluster predictions. Left: Tagged proteins highlighted (black) among relevant predicted clusters, resolved on neighbor-averaged imputed t-SNE. Right: Individual cell lines were generated via endogenous tagging and imaged through fluorescence microscopy for comparison with the compartment-relevant protein was predicted to. Merged microscopy images showing protein signal (green) merged with nuclear and mitochondrial DNA (blue). All imaged cells are oriented with their apical regions facing right and posterior facing left, cell membrane outlines are traced for all images except for L, showing only trace of the papilla, which lacks signal.
