The TUD has made a very nice video in their "Kurze Frage" series featuring PLID member Andreas Müller where he explains how insulin is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas and why this is important in diabetes (German only) #TUDresden #DiabetesResearch #PLID #HelmholztzMunich

Here is a short video by @tudresden.bsky.social (in German) of me explaining what beta cells do and talking about our research on investigating the structural features of their function and dysfunction.

Scientific journals: we don’t want you using generative AI because it makes shit up. Same journal: here is an AI summary or evaluation of this paper. This might be more useful than the actual abstract or paper that the authors freaking wrote Same journal: AI cover art which makes no sense? Oooh!

Calling on my #science network! TeamNDF is #hiring a postdoc to start in 2026! Are you fascinated by metabolism and the brain? Do you want to dig into life long impacts and the molecular cause? Learn more about the team and our research here: www.dife.de/en/research/... Please share! 🧠 🍔 💉

New on bioRxiv! 🚨 “Pericyte and Endothelial Primary Cilia and Centrioles have Disparate Organization Across the Brain Microvasculature” This project studying #microvascular cells took an unexpected turn when we discovered that #pericytes have primary #cilia! 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧪 🧵1/8

We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji. It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:

My new ImageJ / Fiji toolkit is out 🔥! The goal is to make image handling & visualization easy, with an intuitive interface! Install it on Fiji with the "Image Viewer" update site #microscopy #ImageJ #FluorescenceFriday #microscopyMonday imagej.net/plugins/imag...

As a neuroscientist, I’d suggest there is a profound disconnect between what *some* computer scientists think is representative of “intelligence”, cognitive ability, or descriptions of consciousness from some in AI work. LLMs are not how neural systems process information, nor how brains function.

We are looking for motivated #postdocs to join the lab! Biochemistry/microbiology/cryo-EM experience? Excited by #cryo-EM/ET, #chromatin? ❄️🧬🧫 Interdisciplinary projects, top EMBL facilities! Email CV + short cover letter → [email protected] Info about the group: www.embl.org/groups/dodon...
