A new RNA imaging platform using 𝗥𝗵𝗼𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗧 and fluorescence life time microscopy; 𝗥𝗵𝗼𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗧-𝗙𝗟𝗜𝗠. More sensitive than intensity based imaging and higher resolution in 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗗.It was very fun to work with amazing @XiaoxiaoChen94 and Berkan in this project.Congrats!
🔥Latest preprint from @MuratSunbul_Lab !
RhoBAST-FLIM, a platform that resolves free from RNA-bound dyes, enables high-fidelity, lifetime-assisted super-resolution RNA imaging. 🔬
Many thanks for all the wonderful collaborations!

Today in @Nature, we report MouseMapper: foundation-model AI to map disease perturbations across the entire mouse body cell-by-cell.
In obesity, it revealed body-wide inflammation & unexpected facial nerve damage. 🧵👇🔉

Happy to share the published version of our study on the benefits of sodium sulfite + trolox (SST) as oxygen scavenger for #DNAPAINT - now out in Small!
Thanks to the reviewers for helpful comments and again congrats, Becky, on your PhD's first paper!!

So awesome to have this great paper from @SamReffsin and Sara Cherry out! In it, we use retrospective clone tracing to show that there are particular single cell states that are more susceptible to viral infection (both SARS-CoV-2 and flu)!

Congratulations again, Xiao-Xiao! It is a pleasure to host you as a Humboldt Research Fellow. Looking forward to the exciting science ahead! @AvHStiftung
Thrilled to share that my Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship officially started this month!✨
I am deeply grateful to @AvHStiftung for this honor, to my host @MuratSunbul_Lab and to all collaborators for their support.
Excited to start on this new adventure in Germany!🇩🇪

A suite of bridged rhodamine dyes for fluorescence microscopy, named BriDyes, offers excellent brightness, photostability, solubility, cell permeability, and resistance to photoblueing.

ONE microscopy not only allows 3D reconstructions of protein molecules but also reveals details in GABAA receptors that X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM missed, yet AlphaFold predicted. More here:

@NatureBiotech.
Our GABAA receptor work owes everything to the support of cryo-EM leading expert Prof. @RaduAricescu and his lab at MRC, UK. Thank you!

We are looking for a talented postdoc to join our #ERC and @rna4t_opjak funded lab @IOCBPrague . If you love #RNA, epitranscriptomics, and mass spectrometry, contact us!!!
#openposition #chemicalbiology #postdoc
The #chembiol group of @CahovaB at @IOCBPrague is hiring a postdoctoral research associate in #cellbiology & #molecularbiology (1–5 years). The group studies non-canonical RNA capping and recently discovered that various metabolites serve as 5’ RNA caps in different organisms. The project will focus on understanding the biological role of these RNA modifications in mammalian cells.

What makes for a great DNA-PAINT experiment? How does the fluorescent dye affect the image quality? And how can we use this to extract the most out of our samples?
Check out our paper in @NatureMethods to see what state-of-the-art DNA-PAINT can do for you!

Paper from @KGoepfrich's group in Nature Comms
During cell division, proteins form a ring that constricts and helps divide the cell into 2 daughter cells. @majaillig and her colleagues have designed such a ring, not with proteins, but with DNA nanotubes
