Happy to share our Current Opinion review on the key challenges in accurately predicting 3D distances between chromatin segments and computing their dynamics. Thanks to @djost-physbiol.bsky.social @lucagiorgetti.bsky.social for the invitation to write this review! @shuvadipdutta.bsky.social
Thanks for highlighting our work on combining AI-based organelle dynamics detection in phase contrast with fluorescence!

How short can a degron be?
A compact, genetically encoded, 9-aa tunable degron that drives MDM2-dependent degradation enabling precise control of protein levels from yeast to human cells.
Thanks to @eswarappalab.bsky.social for the opportunity to explore this in yeast.

I’m honored to be part of the next GRS Single Molecule Approaches to Biology, thanks Chairs @qmsmith.bsky.social and Alba Gomez Segalas for organizing this great event! The GRS is a wonderful opportunity for young scientists to share their exciting science and build communities. See you there!
We developed a 'smart STED microscope' to detect rare objects/events in cells, and unraveled the 3D morphology of a nuclear membraneless organelle (paraspeckle). Amazing collaboration with Sjoerd Stallinga, Bernd Rieger (TU Delft) and @mixmue.bsky.social 🙏 (1/3) www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Excited to share a new preprint from a team of researchers I am part of (funded by an NIH grant). The paper helps us understand a question I have been interested in for a while: why are bacteria so resilient?

Wonderful news. Well deserved honor, Cees!
(1/n) DNA-PAINT imaging inside the nucleus at single antibody resolution using TIRF? Ultrathin sectioning makes it happen!
Grateful to share my postdoctoral work introducing “tomographic & kinetically-enhanced DNA-PAINT” or in brief: tkPAINT. Out in @pnas.org!

Very much looking forward for #SMLMS2025
🔬 Are you working with single-molecule super-resolution methods (SMLM, MINFLUX) and would like to meet experts in the field and discuss your work? 👉🏻 consider attending the SMLMS 2025 Meeting in Bonn 👉🏻 abstract submission is open until June 27th 👉🏻 www.smlms.org @smlm-symposium.bsky.social
Such fantastic news! I had the privilege of working with Cees — an incredibly inspiring scientist. His research truly deserves this recognition. Huge congratulations, Cees!
Big congrats, Cees. Richly deserved. 👏👏🥳🥳
Happy to share Asha Joseph and Inchara Adhikashreni's latest work from the lab, describing replisome speed variation in Caulobacter!

Latest #CDlab paper online in @labonachip.rsc.org: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
Here, 1st authors Alex Joesaar & Martin Holub developed a microfluidics platform to extract and study full length megabase-size genomes in microfluidic chambers (where they are protected against shearing by flow)!
Hey #chemsky and beyond, with all that is going on, I am curious what expensive, high margin molecules we could provide to the community for free. What things do you use all the time, cost way too much, and would make a difference? Alexa Fluor 488 NHS? Other dyes? Other molecule?
In @molecularmicro.bsky.social: two special issues on Prokaryotic Chromosome Organization. Many excellent contributions, including a vision article: 'Future directions of the Prokaryotic Chromosome Field', outcome of BioPhyChrom 2023 @biophychrom.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

😅 really cool!!!
This is a fantastic community to be part of. Don’t miss the chance!
Amazing!
🔬 Ever wondered how therapeutic antibodies work?
3D LLS-TDI-DNA-PAINT and live-cell LLS microscopy allow decoding of the molecular interplay of endogenous CD20 on B cells with therapeutic antibodies.
