Introducing 𝐐𝐏-𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐜𝐲𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲 — a new multimodal, label-free biophysical imaging platform that simultaneously profiles high-resolution mechanical & optical phenotypes of single cells at high throughput (>10,000 cells/s). Fantastic collaboration with @JochenGuck

FINALLY! This was challenging to publish but we believe it is an important discovery: https://t.co/lN4KQqfIC6 💫Thanks to the amazing team 💫 @bis_was_here @Omar136661 @KyoohyunK Carsten Hoege Benjamin Lorton @RainerNikolay @MatthewKraushar @DShechter @GuckLab @VasilyZaburdaev

For a new era in research culture. Today, the new interdisciplinary #research facility, the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin, will be inaugurated officially. The #MPZPM is a collaboration of MPL, @UniFAU & the Uniklinikum Erlangen. 👉 https://t.co/4bekHWpTqc

At the new Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin (#MPZPM) in Erlangen, five Core Groups will conduct research to meet the most urgent medical challenges facing society. Learn more about the group ‘Cell Physics’ led by Prof Jochen Guck (@GuckLab) 👉 https://t.co/Q4b3SMAq8b

Pleased to share that our contributions to the biological applications of holotomography has been published in Nature Reviews Methods Primers today! @GuckLab @MPI_Light @MPZ_PhysMed

I 🩷 this paper! We show that the shells of 🐚Pinna Nobilis have unusual optical properties: each prism acts as an optical fiber guiding the light to the inner shell cavity by total internal reflection ⚡️ @shahrouzamini @bis_was_here @KyoohyunK @BM_MPICI @MPI_light @mpiib_berlin

Discover the secrets of cell rounding during detachment of interphase cells in our latest article! Our study uncovers the role of actomyosin-dependent cortical remodeling and ERM activation in driving this process. Interesting reading for anyone studying cell mechanics!

C. elegans can turn into dauer larva to survive harsh conditions like starvation or overcrowding. In this issue, Kim and colleagues @mpicbg @tudresden_de use optical diffraction tomography to quantitatively study larvae characteristics during this stage.

The work was done @MPI_Light @MPZ_PhysMed @BIOTEC_TUD @tudresden_de with collaboration with Teymuras Kurzchalia and @VamshidharGade @mpicbg.

Our work for ODT measurements on C. elegans dauer larvae is out at @BiophysJ! We @GuckLab reveal the dramatic increases of the refractive index of dauer larvae upon desiccation (n ~ 1.5 like glass!) and structural defects in desiccation-sensitive mutants. https://t.co/73mCDznati
