Neat!

Spectral multiplexing is typically limited to 4-5 channels. Our new preprint introduces a framework that utilizes DNA barcoding and signal tuning to enable robust spectral unmixing and ground-truth benchmarking to achieve 15-plex subcellular profiling without cycling

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor coordinates neuron-intrinsic programs to enhance axonal regeneration in human motor neurons BDNF promotes axon-regenerative gene expression, RNA metabolism, and kinase signaling in motor neurons.

Congrats to Jobert, Anna-Leigh, and Kai on showing how #BDNF amplifies #transcription, coordinates #RNA dynamics, and spatially regulates the #phosphoproteome.

Beautiful cover art too!

Little nudge that early Bird discounts still on for this so if you're planning on coming, would recommend applying asap!

Congrats again @danandviruses.bsky.social - was a a real pleasure!

Superb stuff! Congrats

Congrats folks! Another fabulous approach! 🤩

Congrats!!!

Hoi1 targets BLTP2 to ER–PM contact sites to regulate #lipid homeostasis. New study from Samantha K. Dziurdzik, Vaishnavi Sridhar, Elizabeth Conibear @lizconibear.bsky.social and colleagues (University of British Columbia): rupress.org/jcb/article/...

#Genetics #MembraneContactSites #ER_literature

Last week, our team joined the @embo.org Workshop “Intracellular Mechanics & Organelle Mechanobiology” at @icfo.eu 🔬

Great talks, inspiring conversations, and fresh ideas for our projects! 💪

@adelaljord.bsky.social @pierre-bercier.bsky.social @crg.eu @prbb.org

Join us for a great session @asbmb.bsky.social annual meeting tomorrow. Our session starts at 9:30 am!

This is happening tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing all the #membranes enthusiasts on zoom!

Dziurdzik, Sridhar, Conibear et al. identify a conserved adaptor that recruits BLTP2-like proteins to ER–plasma membrane contacts by binding helical projections on their lipid transfer channel to maintain #lipid homeostasis. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

SF and Bay Area friends…at #bps2026 for the next five days…if you’re around and have time to catch up let me know 🙏😘

Our new paper's out: FidlTrack—structure-aware single-particle tracking benchmarks/boost SPT fidelity

With it we resolve with sub-organelle res. e.g. BACE1 amyloidogenic APP cleavage #Alzheimers, ER exit events, map nanobody binding in realtime in ER/organelles 🔬🧠#SingleMolecule

Massive congrats Alex and the lab!!!

Increased HCN1 activity in human excitatory neurons drives excessive network bursting in Dravet syndrome Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe childhood epilepsy caused by mutations of the sodium channel NaV1.1. These mutations are thought to compromise the ability of inhibitory interneurons to regulate netwo...

I may be a little biased here but I think this is SUCH a cool story….a new HCN1-focussed mechanism in Dravet syndrome (infant epilepsy). Helps to explain why current treatments haven’t worked and offers a novel genuinely druggable target.Awesome 🤩🤩🤩
