🧵1/14 Preprint thread! Can we predict a cell’s fate based on its dynamics? 🔮 Our new study unveils a framework for watching development unfold in real-time, revealing how a cell's shape and movement encode info about its future fate. 🔬📄 Preprint: tinyurl.com/4shf8v4x

In 2019, Anna Jost & @jencwaters.bsky.social reviewed best practices for validating quantitative #microscopy methods & discuss strategies to avoid unconscious bias in imaging experiments rupress.org/jcb/article/... 📕 In #Reproducibility & Best Practices in Cell Biology: rupress.org/jcb/collecti...

it was already fun to look around the documentation for cmap (cmap-docs.readthedocs.io) but @grosoane.bsky.social just added a very cool feature to toggle between color vision deficiencies. Watch your perceptually uniform color maps gain some kinks 😂 as a mild deutan myself, I appreciate it! 🙏

If you are into imaging and quantitative biology, you should have a field day reading this. Also, of course, everyone who's into lipids ;) Huge congrats to the team!

Here's how to predict binding of tens or hundreds of small molecules to protein assemblies using Boltz 2 in ChimeraX. Accuracy depends on how similar the ligands and binding pockets are to existing experimental structures. www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/dat...

Our review on contact-dependent #predation is now out ! We define predation processes and describe how predators kill and eat their prey 😈 Repost appreciated ❤️

This week, we are featuring Joachim Goedhart, one of the most prolific authors on @the-node.bsky.social, as an extraordinary biologist. #100biologists @joachimgoedhart.bsky.social

I gave in! After students asking for it, I now made a simple figure design checklist. To help all scientists w/o graphic skills create clear, accessible, and truthful charts! -> Out in @nature Cell Biology: rdcu.be/erwl4 #DataVisualization #PhD #SciComm Thx for review @bethcimini.bsky.social + 2

Yep, we sure do! A fine thought technology from Katherine Andrea Rivera-Gomez and Mara Schvarzstein: wbg.wormbook.org/2017/07/18/i...

#KeinVergessen Weil er öffentlich für Menschrechte von Geflüchteten einstand, wurde Walter Lübcke heute vor 6 Jahren von einem Neonazi ermordet. Der Mörder des CDU-Regierungspräsidenten von Kassel war u.a. bei #AfD aktiv und fasste den Tatplan nach AfD- und Neonazi-Mobilisierungen in #Chemnitz 2018.

E11 Bio is launching Volara: an open-source Python library for block-wise processing of large volumetric microscopy datasets! 🧪🔬 Volara features block-wise task abstractions, making scalable image processing more accessible, robust, and repeatable. Read more: e11.bio/blog/volara

Meet GEQO: Genetically-encoded biosensors for absolute small-molecule quantification in single cells brought to you by @sascha-kuhn.bsky.social. For simple absolute quantification of your favourite small molecule or ion, head on over to @bioarxiv and read our new preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

How can organs regenerate fast? Bioelectricity helps -- by coupling sub-second electrical injury signals to regenerative proliferation. First preprint from my potsdoc :D with @liujinghui.bsky.social @ritamateus.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de and collaborators @mpipks.bsky.social @csbdresden.bsky.social

It’s incredibly hard to study lipids in biological membranes on the nanoscale. You need near-perfect information on both membrane ultrastructure and lipid density, which usually isn’t attainable. Lipid-CLEM brought to you by @mathilda95.bsky.social changes that. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My lab has a tradition that each week one person contributes edits to a Wikipedia page relevant to their scientific work, and then presents it briefly at lab meeting (and we clap). A few of my favorites: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprio... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chionea en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral...

I love seeing so many interesting papers on Bluesky and my reading list keeps growing. So I would like to share a thread about our paper from this year. It was published when we were still at *the other place*, and I didn't feel like writing about it there. www.science.org/doi/full/10.... 1/n

This cover came out when I was 14 but I never heard it. It's hard to explain but I somehow I feel like it would have changed the course of my life if I had.

We are happy to report that our journals and community sites now have Bluesky accounts. Follow them at: @dev-journal.bsky.social @jcellsci.bsky.social @jexpbiol.bsky.social @dmmjournal.bsky.social @biologyopen.bsky.social @the-node.bsky.social @prelights.bsky.social @focalplane.bsky.social

And what better introduction than to share a new publication? Check out this review article I’ve been working on (along with my co-first authors) if you need a biosensor or want a comprehensive overview of the field. Now out as an ASAP article at Chemical Reviews! doi.org/10.1021/acs....
