Hello everyone, we had a great meeting yesterday @institutimagine.bsky.social , thanks again to all the speakers for their very interesting talks on primary and motile #cilia #flagella #ciliopathies! Next one is organized by Caroline Brun, Marine Laporte, Véronique Morel in Aussois in September!
Happy #FluorescenceFriday all!
Checkout these beautiful basal bodies in airway #multiciliated cells expanded via U-ExM 😍
Images captured by the super talented @maneesha07.bsky.social on a #Nikon NSPARC 🔬.
Excited to share our new preprint exploring how Paramecium achieves diverse flow functions, i.e. feeding and swimming, simultaneously. This work was spearheaded by our ExM expert, PhD student Daphne Laan @daphnelaan.bsky.social :

PhD position in my lab!
We have two funded postdoctoral positions available. Topics encompass:
-Next gen light-sheet fluorescence microscopy instrumentation
-Structured illumination microscopy and other approaches to extend the resolution limit.
-Nonlinear microscopy combined with adaptive optics / phase conjugation
🔬🔦Our Imaging spotlight from @hiralshah.bsky.social & team highlights their U-ExM atlas of planktonic eukaryotes, including details on how you can explore this wonderful resource. Plus, check out Hiral’s top tips on getting started with expansion microscopy.

🚨Our collaboration with @centriolelab.bsky.social & @gautamdey.bsky.social is out today in @cp-cell.bsky.social
We show that #Expansion #Microscopy is a broad-spectrum modality for Euks, enabling 3D phenotypic maps rooted to phylogeny.

November'25-February'26 membrane trafficking online seminars program
Calling all #Membrane enthusiasts!
Our #MembraneTrafficking online seminar series is back for the 2025-26 season: 8 fantastic speakers from Nov'25 to Feb'26.
The first talks are already next Thursday (Nov 6, 5pm CET) with @agatawitkowska.bsky.social and @abdourachidthiam.bsky.social !
The ExM gang @jvermot.bsky.social @mahjoublab.bsky.social @marinelap.bsky.social @centriolelab.bsky.social @simonemortal.bsky.social et al #GEF25
Now out on bioRxiv. 🥳My research on #cytokinesis, averaging thousands of #ExM images🔬, creating a dynamic atlas of cytokinesis 🦠⏳. Here's an animated sneak peek of what we found. Better resolution on bioRxiv😄 #PSFoftheGIF
Check the live stream of the Göttingen Expansion Forum 2025 if you're interested! I think the link changes every day will try to update. Program is here (pdf link): www.rizzoli-lab.de/wp-content/u...
#ExM turned 10 this year - just like #NanoTag! 🎉
Join us & the super-resolution community in Göttingen for the ExM Forum! 🔬Hear from our founder Felipe Opazo @opazo.bsky.social and CSO Steffen Frey on how NanoTag’s sdAb solutions empower nanoscopy & #multiplex imaging.
See you in Göttingen!

Trouble imaging actin in ExM? Meet HAK-Actin, a probe for U-ExM, cryo-ExM & iU-ExM. Enables post-expansion labeling for max signal. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Soon at @spirochrome.com
Led by O.Mercey and @lreymond.bsky.social, in collab with @dudinlab.bsky.social and @marinelap.bsky.social
🚨
New Preprint!
Ex-dSTORM resolves fine details of the molecular architecture of CCPs, the 8-nm periodicity of microtubules, and the docking site of synaptic vesicles at the presynapse of hippocampal neurons.

With a combination of FIB-SEM, super-resolution & expansion #microscopy, Araujo Alves, Bastin et al @bastinlab.bsky.social @pasteur.fr reveal how IFT trains are progressively restricted to a limited number of #microtubule doublets in the flagellum of T. brucei. rupress.org/jcb/article/...
#Cilia
⏰ One week countdown- 19/08/2025 15:00 BST we kick off our 52nd BSCB GenSoc UK Cilia and Centrosome Network e-symposium with 6 stellar talks from the field's rising stars 🌠 on the latest breaking science 🧪!!
FOMO? Join the fun: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bscb-genso...
🎉Excited to see my master’s work contributed to this amazing paper! 🎥 🧠
Congrats to all co-authors 👏
Grateful for my time in Dr. Isabelle Caillé & Pr. Alain Trembleau’s lab #IBPS. Isabelle’s passion for science will keep inspiring me ✨

Save the date!
March 2027 on beautiful lake Maggiore right outside #Milan, are you ready for #Cilia2027? 🥳
Stay tuned for more info!
Attention #microtubule and #centrosome fans!!! Here's another fantastic #openaccess #research #article in #CYTOSKELETON. LZTS2 Negatively Regulates Centrosomal CEP135 Levels and Microtubule Nucleation. Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
🚨 New preprint!
Using U-ExM + in situ cryo-ET, we show how C2CD3 builds an in-to-out radial architecture connecting the distal centriole lumen to its appendages. Great collab with @cellarchlab.com @chgenoud.bsky.social @stearnslab.bsky.social 🙌. #TeamTomo #UExM

World Ocean Day graphic including colourful scientific images of ocean plankton
It's #WorldOceanDay – this year’s theme is: ‘Wonder: sustain what sustains us’. One key force sustaining ocean life is microbes. With @embl.org TREC we explored this hidden universe along Europe's coasts, across water, sediment and soil to see how microbial life connects across ecosystems and biomes
Ahaha this is excellent !
During #mitosis, before assembling the mitotic spindle, the early mouse embryo lacking #centrosomes uses #actin rather than #microtubules for chromosome congression 👀👇🏼
Nice cool study, @syncellbiolab, @anubhav_dhar, @SuchetaDey69384, @MullickSan22454, @Nishaant_PB, @deepak_iisc and Angana. Wonderful to be collaborating with you on this work and looking at #actin #isoforms in #yeast and #mammalian_cells using #UExM.
