This is the updated part. Looks like the movie is an AI-generated fluorescence image from a non-labeled acquisition technique. No indication that the Small World jury and organizers have requested and verified the raw data (as mentioned as a possibility in the competition rules)

Can light build centrosome-like activity? 💡🔬 Yes! We introduce LISA (Light-Induced Spindle Assembly), now in @emboreports.org. By clustering Aurora A with optogenetics, we build centrosome-like activity that nucleates microtubules and rescues spindle defects after centrosome loss. shorturl.at/9h3VQ

Segmenting individual cells in microscopy is much easier these days thanks to foundation models. Can we use these models for other tasks, such as cell classification? We investigate in our latest work, finding big improvements for object and pixel classification compared to classical approaches.

Evaluation of different methods for pixel classification (top) and object classification (bottom) on the LIVECell dataset. Dark green bars show the F1-Score, which measures the classification / segmentation quality (higher is better), light green bars show the runtimes. Five different settings are compared for each task: Ilastik features + random forest (RF), microSAM embeddings + RF, SAM2 embeddings + RF, and uSAM, SAM2 + attentive probing (DeAP and ObAP). microSAM feature perform best for RF based methods, attentive probing outperforms RF based approaches, but at a much higher runtime.

Timely callout to #RxivMaker. With rxiv-maker you write in Markdown and the tool generates the LaTeX, so author comments and to-do notes never reach the source files you upload to arXiv. We built it for easy writing with amazing formatting, avoiding this leak is a welcome side effect
