Why is fighting malaria hard? High quality diagnostics for 100’s of millions people is missing. To give you a glimpse of why it’s hard, let’s play game: “Finding Waldo” watch video below with sound. What you saw was “real time” diagnostics in health post in Senegal. #octopi

🔴🔴We have run into a situation where we can’t use trusty Halo-JF646 for our far red imaging. I haven’t followed what the best far red (not nir) FPs are these days? Any advice would be much appreciated! @NathanShaner @joachimgoedhart @christlet. Please RT

Exciting new story from our lab on nuclei positioning🔵 during skeletal muscle development. Blood vessels seem to accumulate more myonuclei 🔴 Led by the amazing @CatarinaAS 💪🏼 #myofiber #skeletalmuscle #scitwitter
🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 I am thrilled to announce our latest work where we explored the link between myonuclear position and blood vessel organization during skeletal muscle postnatal development! Out now in @Dev_journal 📍 @gomes @ClaudioAFranco1 @GIMM_Institute

Hello everyone, excited to share our preprint: https://t.co/DoThdFBDLT ---- Everyday, cells like this crawl through your body to protect you. While we know that their front 🔴 and back 🔵 polarity programs work together, how exactly do these two processes communicate? Lets chat!

Insects build specialised muscles in one animal? Flight muscle sarcomeres oscillating at 200Hz with gigantic A-bands vs regular larval sarcomeres. How? Solution: 1. I-band titin isoforms 2. Mechanical feedback from I- to A-band. Took 10 years to figure out https://t.co/n5Vz4zH4r8

We are all living in a bubble that deprives us of experiences needed to understand the true magnitude of the threat posed by the rise of multi-drug resistant infections. It would be wise to allocate resources that match the severity of the threat. https://t.co/grtVODQuW4

Are you looking for a pos-doc? We just opened two positions to study bacteria evolution in the gut in Gordo's Lab at the Gulbenkian Institute ;)! See https://t.co/5pKdPeDAO2

How can the weak survive in this competitive world? This beautiful movie shows the fierce competition between actin networks for scarce resources. A central rule of biological ecosystems captured by a minimal reconstituted system. Congratulations to @cguerin38 and @acoli12 !
New study out on bioRxiv! We have studied how resources are shared between actin networks competing for a limited pool of components. https://t.co/UM4o1FMWuJ

Truly inspiring work. Would love to contribute for projects like this in any way possible.
In the MBL Physiology course, faculty member Manu Prakash opened a window on the huge distances marine microbes travel with an ingenious app for light microscopes that his lab invented. https://t.co/cK9Owbmtu8

🔔🔔 Calling all iPSC-derived Neuron folks…does anyone know of any (non neuron-specific and constitutive) promoters that robustly survive transdifferentiation from iPSC>Neuron during NGN2-based forward programming. For us CAG and EF1a(long) work well…is there a third?

Is that an isolated myofiber? 🙂↔️😲
Bioimage analysis is complex. @haesleinhuepf & team are encouraging collaborations between biologists, data scientists + computer scientists to bridge gaps & drive advancements

Our #MidweekMovie shows macrophage kinetics in cancerous xenografts in #zebrafish from @mayra_m_91, @CRebeloAlmeida, @ritafior @Neuro_CF, et al. They find that macrophages kill cancer cells through TNF signalling in response to BCG therapy. 📖@DMM_journal: https://t.co/ctFTQH0J93
