Are you interested in the nuclear envelope and are still lacking a dye for it? Try the lectin concanavalin A in #U-ExM! Together with @baukjeje.bsky.social, @gautamdey.bsky.social and @dudinlab.bsky.social and many collaborators sharing species with us we explored the versatility of this dye

Endogenous Nuclear Desmin Associates with the Nuclear Envelope in Human Skeletal Muscle Cells
Desmin is the major intermediate filament protein of muscle, yet its potential nuclear functions remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the nuclear localization and organization of endogenous...

Very interesting how we describe that cell cortex in myofibers is involved in tubules formation in muscle cells, with implication for centronuclear myopathies and other triadopathies. Happy to lead this work with @raquel-pereira.bsky.social @drmichaelway.bsky.social and other co authors.

🔬🚀 Out now in Communications AI & Computing: mAIcrobe, our open-source napari plugin for high-throughput bacterial image analysis. Segmentation, morphological profiling and cell cycle classification, all in one place 👇 doi.org/10.1038/s44488-026-00022-y
Screenshot of the published article page. Software, Open access, published 15 September 2026. Title: mAIcrobe, an open-source framework for high-throughput bacterial image analysis. Authors: António D. Brito, Dominik Alwardt, Beatriz de P. Mariz, Sérgio R. Filipe, Mariana G. Pinho, Bruno M. Saraiva and Ricardo Henriques. Communications AI & Computing 1, article number 16 (2026), followed by the abstract.Diagram of the mAIcrobe workflow. Acquisition feeds into segmentation with StarDist, Cellpose and community models, then into morphological profiling and a three-class cell cycle classifier, ending in a feature-space scatter plot with three separated clusters.
