A High-Affinity Nanobody Recognizing mNeonGreen Enables Versatile Biochemical, Cellular, and in vivo Applications. by Steffen Frey and team: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How do dozens of distinct muscles emerge from the same pool of precursor cells? Our new Science Advances paper uncovers the developmental logic that coordinates myoblast identities to build diverse muscles. 📄 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #DevelopmentalBiology #Drosophila #Muscle

New paper! 🚀 A high-affinity anti- #mNeonGreen #nanobody turns #mNG into a #multifunctional Tag. @nanotag.bsky.social decided to openly share the #nanobody for research use. Not common, but we strongly believe well-defined reagents are key for reproducible science. We hope you find it useful! 💚

„Zur Klarheit angepasst" – so erklärt ThermoFisher das, was Bildforensiker als 127 manipulierte Western-Blot-Bilder in 119 Antikörper-Produkten identifiziert haben. Nächster Akt der Qualitätskrise des kommerziellen Antikörpermarkts: 👉 laborjournal.de/rubric/portrait/biz/biz_26_06_01.php

Nice short and clear SPOTLIGHT from @luschnig.bsky.social lab on our recent work related to tissue cell number regulation. Spindle errors: A stress test for epithelial robustness: Trends in Cell Biology www.cell.com/trends/cell-...

Fun paper illustrating how serendipity can lead to new discoveries. Jay Hirsh et al sought to map a mutation that modifies a behavioral trait in Drosophila, using a modernized form of mapping by recombination. In Drosophila's early days mapping of X chromosome visible markers was very precise 1/n

We lost a true hero and pioneer. Robert (Bob) Lehman, founding member of @stanfordbiochem.bsky.social, has passed at 101. He discovered DNA ligase and made seminal contributions to DNA replication, recombination, repair, and more. Learn about his extraordinary life: purl.stanford.edu/yd733mc3479

“Play, Pause, Rewind: protein metabolism and the control of developmental tempo” Looking forward to an exciting seminar with Teresa Rayon @trayon.bsky.social (Babraham Institute, Cambridge) on June 18th at 13:15, MiC. Everyone is welcome.

#ECR, PhDs and postdocs, take note! Are you aiming for a professorship and would like to lead an independent junior research group? Then come to our info session about the DFG's Emmy Noether Programme, its eligibility requirements and your funding opportunities. Full Details▶️ sohub.io/gnb1

We are excited to welcome Teresa Rayon (Babraham Institute Cambridge) to our @sfb1348.bsky.social seminar @uni-muenster.de . She will speak about "Play, Pause, Rewind: protein metabolism and the control of developmental tempo”. Everyone is welcome! More: www.uni-muenster.de/SFB1348/en/i...

Here is the announcement of a Symposium @college-de-france.fr on 26 June on Information Flow and Computation in Biological systems. A great line of speakers on a variety of topics from embryogenesis to neuroscience, immunology and microbiology. Free entrance, come if you are in Paris end of June 🤩

Vote for a @dev-journal.bsky.social cover from the 2025 Quintay International Course on Developmental Biology We’re excited to launch a cover competition to select an image from the 2025 cohort of @devbioquintay.bsky.social. Voting closes on 24 June 2026. thenode.biologists.com/vote-for-a-d...

Voting is now open in our image competition with #ELMI2026. Thanks to everyone that entered the competition, we received so many wonderful entries. Voting closes on 18 June, the penultimate day of #ELMI2026 @ppbioimaging.bsky.social. focalplane.biologists.com/2026/06/08/f...

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes: 🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting 🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

YEN 2026 Conference and Image Competition Haven't submitted your image for the YEN 2026 Image competition? Good news, the deadline has been extended until 10 June. ⬇️ @yen-network.bsky.social thenode.biologists.com/yen-2026-con...

The Zenodo repository where we are collecting all the examples we can find: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Doing a linear stretch on these images shows how dramatic the "edits" were, revealing the deception in clear terms. This should be a complete scandal for Thermo Fisher and more people in the biosciences should be talking about it.

Happy to share the lab’s latest preprint! Led by PhD student @isaiahwill.bsky.social, we hope that this thorough characterization of expression patterns for many #drosophila fat body driver lines will be a useful resource to the fruit fly community.

This year’s @sfb1348.bsky.social meeting @uni-muenster.de has come to a close. 3 days of inspiring science, stimulating discussions, and valuable exchange made it a truly rewarding event. Many thanks to all participants - we’re already looking forward to the next one! Photos © Michael Kuhlmann

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures" but their own internal data.

Spatial regulation of adhesion molecules is crucial for multicellular systems. Tricellular junctions (TCJs) represent the example. We found that gel-like condensation of a TCJ protein stabilizes its accumulation even in tissue dynamics, which ensures molecular recruitment and epithelial remodeling.
