Out in @natmethods.nature.com: More dyes. They work. Quite well. And blink. Pick the one that fits your target, your technique, and your labeling density. With too many collaborators and institutes to list, but anchored at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The famous ‚fluorescence depends on the environment‘ lecture! Need more light? Consider adding base to your sample:)
Painted 100+ lung organoids for Easter, stained with live-cell Cell Tracker/ @spirochrome.com dyes, imaged at our @leicamicrosystems.bsky.social Viventis Deep light-sheet 🔬 at Charité (soon @Si-M - Der Simulierte Mensch) and visualized using inverted lookup tables designed by @christlet.bsky.social
Congrats! This looks like a cool method!
Using #SingleMolecule imaging we find that TFs:
-boost co-transcriptional #ribosomal #RNA processing!
-their binding #dynamics fundamentally differ for mRNA (transient) versus rRNA #transcription (stable)!

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.
ChromSMF preprint is out!🚀
tinyurl.com/ChromSMF
We often piece together chromatin regulation layer by layer from separate assays. But this can be limiting!
In @arnaudkr.bsky.social's lab, we developed a method to directly study multiple layers on the same DNA molecule! 🧬
What does this unlock? ⬇️
🔥 How does CTCF shape enhancer–promoter communication?
In our new preprint, we systematically test how the position and orientation of CTCF binding sites (CBSs) influence gene regulation at the mouse Sox2 locus.
🧪 full paper can be found here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Screenshot from Google Scholar showing the paper about the tool "RS-FISH" has 100 citations.
RS-FISH reached 100 citations 🥳 I always love checking the projects that use it, so cool to see all these different studies! Thank you all for using our tool!
We are excited to be recruiting into 3 Associate Professorship's in @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social. Come join us as a colleague and benefit from our vibrant and multidisciplinary environment. Reach out to me if you have any questions. Please repost! (tinyurl.com/48deybuu) (tinyurl.com/4pdvjaft).
Ever wondered how a eukaryotic transcription factor finds its specific DNA motif in the vast genome? In this preprint, we directly measured the dynamics of this search process in living cells, revealing a cooperative mechanism mediated by disordered regions. 1/10 doi.org/10.64898/202...
Calling all OME Community members, contributors, and lurkers! Please take a minute to answer the OME 2026 Community Survey (docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...) to help us prepare for discussing the future of OME governance during the OME 2026 Community Meeting at the end of April.
🚨 Job Alert - Please share! 🙏

Pinging @carmofonlab.bsky.social, do you maybe have a suggestion?
New paper out! Combining single-objective light-sheet microscopy and time-resolved SPAD array detection, we massively accelerate fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) compared to confocal FLIM, making FLIM applicable to 3D specimen such as organoids and embryos.

Very happy to share that starting in January, I will take on a new position as microscopic imaging facility leader and researcher at Der Simulierte Mensch (Si-M), a new joint institute by Charité and TUBerlin, which aims at advancing human model systems (e.g. organoids) for biomedical research.
Congrats Valentin! Excited to visit in the future!
Such a fun workshop idea!
Screenshot of a Tweet pointing out that academic spam is actually in its own way kind of encouraging.
I think about this post every day 🧪
We are excited to welcome @fueyoraquel.bsky.social, @sedonamurphy.bsky.social, and @jmstein.bsky.social as new group leaders at our institute!
