Pre-print alert 🚨
We answer a longstanding question in the field. Do immune cells cause cerebral malaria?
The answer is YES!!!! And independently of P. falciparum accumulation in the brain.

@cuencam15.bsky.social synthesizes what was said today about using lightsheet in research based on her experiences in prior courses, in my lab and now at EMBL Barcelona. #LISH25 #LoPaT_alumni
We are happy to show one ourt first exciting papers. We have developed a blood-brain barrier model to study the disruptive effects caused by the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.
First, congratulations to the fearless @liviapiatti.bsky.social and @alinabatzi.bsky.social

🚨 Deadline extended!
You now have until August 8 to apply for the Light-Sheet Image Analysis Workshop (Jan 5–9, 2026) at Universidad Mayor in Santiago de Chile with the support of CZI @cziscience.bsky.social and @lisium-chile.bsky.social

Pre-print alert 🚨: We have developed 2D and 3D stable iPSC endothelial-differentiation models through dox inducible ETS expression. We demonstrate endothelial identity and used these models for studying malaria pathogenesis research. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

@cuencam15.bsky.social we’re excited to see you on bluesky and even more excited that you’ve joined the lab! Watch this space!
-Recently started my postdoc with @talyadayton.bsky.social at EMBL Barcelona, where I will explore the role of neuroendocrine cells in the growth of human lung organoids, with a tissue mechanics twist.

(@cweissg.bsky.social ) submitted this curious amphipod we captured with Jose Palma and imaged in Chile during the EMBO Developmental Biology Practical Course. Go ahead and look at all the selected images and vote for your favourite!

How do embryos ensure precise tissue patterning? It’s all about timing cell divisions! Our new preprint reveals how cell proliferation syncs with signaling oscillations to regulate precision of somite formation and growth. Check the full story: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Imagine being an engineer asked to build a material that withstands 100% strain, 150 times per minute—for a lifetime. Now imagine having to build it while it’s already functioning. That’s exactly what the heart does.
Find out how video games helped scientists visualise limb development.
Laura Aviñó-Esteban, PhD student at EMBL Barcelona and first author of a recently published study, explains how video games helped her solve the problem of fragmented limb dev. visualisation. 💻🧪

Stoked to present our latest, superbly led by Chris et al & @torres-sanchez.bsky.social We tackled a fundamental problem – how tissues are patterned during development – found that geometry-constrained ECM fractures pattern the myocardium in the vertebrate heart 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
We are very excited that former Birnstiel Award laureate Kristina Stapornwongkul will return to the @viennabiocenter.bsky.social upon starting her own lab at @imbavienna.bsky.social.

Any master students interested in (live) volumetric imaging techniques, organoid culture, image analysis and/or micro-fabrication could drop me a line? Please share :)
Excited to share a recent preprint by Oliver Newsom, where we evaluate the functional contributions of serum for cancer cell proliferation. Inside:
A broadly applicable serum-free media,
Quantitative lipid uptake characterization,
Evidence lipid scavenging > synthesis for cancer cell proliferation.
Inspiring talk from @matthieufoll.bsky.social and Lynnette Fernandez-Cuesta about the future of #lung #neuroendocrine #tumor classification and clinical management, and how to use #AI to learn simple morphological features to recognize molecular subtypes #CRCL25
