Join us for a two-and-a-half-day meeting in the scenic Wye Valley, to discuss how membrane contact sites shape cellular homeostasis across organelles, organisms, and approaches. 📍 Chepstow, South Wales, UK | 🗓️ 28–30 September 2026 👉 : www.eventsforce.net/biochemsoc/f...

The 'Version of Record' of our paper came out on #FluorescenceFriday elifesciences.org/articles/105...

Receptor tyrosine kinases bind ligands and (often) dimerize. Yet how long, and how does that change their mobility? Using single-molecule FRET in living cells, we found that MET dimers 'socialize' for ~1 second while lowering lateral diffusion and confinement 👉🏻 doi.org/10.1002/smll...

We’ve highlighted some wonderful images and researchers in our ‘Featured image’ series in 2025. To celebrate, we’re inviting you to vote for your favourite in our image competition! #FluorescenceFriday Check them out here: focalplane.biologists.com/2025/12/19/v...

New preprint showing how the membrane-associated periodic skeleton (MPS) restricts endocytosis in neurons: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... It nicely confirms our work from last year (science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado2032) and extends it to other compartments in more mature neurons

New paper from @zhixingchen2.bsky.social's lab! It turns out that, in addition to its very low phototoxicity, PKmito Deep Red (PKMDR) directly reports on mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in live cells through its lifetime! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Looking forward to returning to INT-CHA in April, this time as a speaker. I joined a previous edition and really enjoyed it: the mix of disciplines, and the relaxed format made it very easy to connect to people. And of course, having it all take place in Corsica is pretty amazing. 🌞
