It's been an amazing few weeks -- this follows our cytoplasmic tradewinds paper.

And this one took a whileβ736 days. I wrote about why there is more behind this paper than the chemistry. communities.springernature.com/posts/736-days
sOrganellomics is a new strategy to map cell state diversity and functional cell changes across healthy and diseased tissues! Check out the latest version now on BioRxiv - Congratulations @feliciano-lab.bsky.social !!
How do proteins find their way to the cell's leading edge? @jimgalbraith27.bsky.social & @cathygalbraith.bsky.social break down how bleach line, FLOP, single-particle tracking, FCS & iPALM reveal intracellular fluid flow and an actin-myosin compartment barrier. doi.org/10.1038/s414...
I'm happy to share a recent study by @cathygalbraith.bsky.social & James Galbraith, along with @sciencethecat.bsky.social & myself. It challenges existing views onΒ intracellular transportationβ¦ π www.nature.com/articles/s41...
What if cells have undiscovered methods for managing their internal logistics? Our recent work (@cathygalbraith.bsky.social, James A. Galbraith, @sciencethecat.bsky.social & myself) challenges existing views on intracellular transportation π lnkd.in/dhMDgY5Q
So excited to share this work that employs #FCS, TIRF, FRAP, SPT, SIM & #iPALM. Huge thanks to @cathygalbraith.bsky.social, James Galbraith, and @ulrikeboehm.bsky.social (the iPALM wizard) #OpenScience @hhmijanelia.bsky.social #CellBiology #Cytoskeleton #SuperResolution #Microscopy #Actin
Delighted to share our preprint describing COMET, a new approach to drift correction for #SMLM, which performs exceptionally well in practice. Check out the benchmarking results compared to other methods! :) Thanks to @lreinkensmeier.bsky.social for a superb effort.

And in yesterday's journal club, we discussed this nice paper on transforming antibodies into intrabodies from @tim-stasevich.bsky.social et al. The authors put together a pipeline comprising ProteinMPNN to design a stabler protein sequence for the scaffold while keeping the antigen-binding loops.

Beautiful, & built for discovery. These next-gen fluorescent dyes (developed by the Lavis Lab at our Janelia Research Campus) are brighter, more photostable, & more versatile β advancing how scientists visualize biology inside cells.

As a lifelong Bayern fan, I feel incredibly lucky to have a coach with this much class leading our team.
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has said Jose Mourinho made a βhuge mistakeβ in accusing Vinicius Junior of inciting an incident that ended with the Real Madrid forward alleging racist abuse.

What an amazing opportunity to work on cutting edge biology and biophysics with a great mentor. Apply!!!!
Unquestionably the result of combined effort from all current and former lab members, support from colleagues @CSU and @CU, and support from @hhmi-science.bsky.social and NIH over decades. A heartfelt π to my nominators and of course @vilcekfoundation.bsky.social.
