Proud and excited to share our work with the community! Helen @helenfoster.bsky.social Foster et al. study how #cilia axonemes are built. πŸ‘€ Don't miss the gorgeous and insightful movies by @margotriggi.bsky.social, they really show our discoveries in full action!

Very happy to say that our work on how axonemes are generated is now available on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... - if you’ve ever wondered how the incredibly beautiful, complex structures within motile #cilia are constructed then this is for you!

Concrete example for how MicroSplit unmixes four superimposed structures.

Immagine you could image two cellular structures in the same fluorescent channel and still reliably get them separated afterwards…
What would you do with this?

Now… what would you do if that also worked with 4 structures at once? πŸ‘‡ #MicroSplit #preview🧡
