There is still time to apply. I'm now looking for someone who likes imaging, for a project like this: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

📣 Neuroscientists – something NEW for you!

NanoTag expands its portfolio of neurobiological #rHcAbs 🧠. Nanobodies targeting #SYT1 and #CNPase are now available as Mouse or Rabbit IgG Fc fusions – ideal for ICC and IHC 🔬.

In Situ Construction of Imidazopyridinium Fluorescent Labels for Bioconjugation Chromophore engineering of isoquinoline aldehydes generates TICT-based fluorogenic dyes for in situ labeling of diverse (bio)molecules with large Stokes shifts compatible with cell imaging.

🚀 Just published! In PhD work by first author Dongchen Du, we’ve developed a simple, byproduct-free labeling strategy using imidazopyridinium dyes formed in situ from isoquinolines!

Felicitaciones!! ¡Mucha suerte y fuerza en la nueva aventura!

Great PhD work of Laszlo Albert, with the collaboration from @samratb.bsky.social, Nazar Oleksiievets, Nikos Mougios, @Michelle Frei, @joergenderlein.bsky.social, Johannes Broichhagen, @nadjasimeth.bsky.social, and @romantsukanov.bsky.social

New preprint out!
In this study, we introduce NanoFLex, a strategy that combines #HaloTag variants with #nanobodies -based immunolabeling to enable rapid, OneStep-IF #lifetime #multiplexing. Possible due to SmartSecondaries fused to #HaloTag from @nanotag.bsky.social: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Delighted to share our latest preprint "Filopodia-mediated trans-endocytosis"

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Work driven by many people including Hanna, Marcela, Sujan, Marie-Catherine, Anna and Monika. Fantastic collaboration with Johanna Englund, Emilia Peuhu, and Eija Jokitalo

🧪🧬 New preprint!
What if the same biosensor could reveal how cysteine is regulated across life domains?

We introduce Cystector, a genetically encoded fluorescent biosensor for real-time cysteine monitoring in living cells.

Last project of the year: self blinking JF635 + lattice light sheet + #BigVolumeBrowser to deskew both volume and localization data (and render)
@zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social

Let us know if your computer survived the cleaning process 😉. Mine will need this.

We also tried it recently and indeed, it blinks nicely without any smelly buffers or extra stuff added. Makes SMLM sample preparation a breeze. I hope soon new additional colors will be discovered, apart from the far red.

🎄 A glimpse into #NanoTag Christmas dinner - Glühwein outdoors, a shared dinner, and Schrottwichteln 🎁♻️ where funny, used items are exchanged and find a new home. The past year has been special for us as we celebrate 10 years. Grateful for our team, customers, and partners.
Here’s to what’s next 🥂

Self-blinking dye restores efficient use of nanobodies in single-molecule localization microscopy. Direct STORM relies on robust fluorophore blinking; observations suggest that AlexaFluor647 underperforms when coupled to nanobodies, thereby undermining the advantages of nanobodies. We show that the...

Fantastic teamwork: @samratb.bsky.social, Kaushik Inamdar, Yoav Pollack, Laszlo Albert, Daniel Jans, Stefan Jakobs, @joergenderlein.bsky.social and @romantsukanov.bsky.social

JF635b-nanobodies are now commercially available via @nanotag.bsky.social.

✨ Blinking #nanobodies that work for single-molecule localization 🔬
Our new preprint shows that the self-blinking dye JF635b restores robust, buffer-free blinking in #nanobodies, enabling reliable #dSTORM, #MINFLUX, and more, without chemical-switching buffers. Opening new possibilities for #ExM!

Microtubule Organizing Centers of America (MTOCsA), sorry, not funny.

Happy to tell that I got my tenured professorship at the University Medical Center in Göttingen 🇩🇪!
Grateful for my students, mentors, international collaborators, the @nanotag.bsky.social team, and my family (dog included 🐾). Motivated to keep pushing science, innovation, startups, and education 🌍✨

🔬Wrapping up #SMLMS2025 @smlm-symposium.bsky.social in Bonn! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth!
It was great connecting and sharing how our #sdAb-based solutions enhance precision, simplify #Multiplexing, and streamline workflows in #SuperResolution microscopy.

See you next year! 🦙

Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism.

🧬 New paper out! We explored why #antibodies have kept their 2 binding sites. Turns out, this “divalence” is crucial for B-cell receptors to sense antigen clustering and trigger immune responses, especially for weak or low-density antigens.
