Do you know how far phototoxicity can hinder your experiments?🤔 @mariodelr.bsky.social and @gomez-mariscal.bsky.social have just published their work on #PhotoFiTT in @natcomms.nature.com where they explain how to quantitatively measure it in live-cell imaging.⚡🧫🔬 Read more at: shorturl.at/ly9Zn

🚨Amazing news for a cloudy Monday!🌩️😎 I'm extremely happy to share that our last adventure is finally out!🚀🎉Phototoxicity fitness time trial (#PhotoFiTT) - a quantitative framework for assessing phototoxicity in live-cell microscopy experiments 🔬❤️‍🔥⚡️ doi.org/10.1038/s414...

It’s FINALLY out! 🎉🚀 We have been working on PhotoFiTT for a long time, and it’s now published, introducing a quantitative framework to measure phototoxicity and optimise live-cell microscopy experiments. So excited to finally share the last version! 🔬✨ #PhotoFiTT doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Fantastic work! Elegant experimental evolution with big implications for how cell size can evolve without compromising fitness. Congrats to Ana and collaborators, definitely worth a read for anyone into cell cycle, size control, or evolution 🧬🔄

Our Researcher @mariodelr.bsky.social and Raquel Portela from @microbematos.bsky.social were invited by @healthnewspt.bsky.social to talk about their new collaboration project awarded by Early Career Research Award, 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗙𝗶𝗧𝗧. Read the full interview at: tinyurl.com/infectofitt
