In 1964, a zoologist at UCL shone a mercury lamp through a glass slide and measured — for the first time, in living cells — the gap between a cell membrane and a substrate. No fluorescent labels. Just interference fringes. 👉 jfattaccioli.substack.com/p/2-1964-one...

Arrived today. From the father of Damon Albarn. Maths / Geometry / Islamic architecture and a tiny bit of 70's mysticism

Today Estelle LU from our team defended her PhD thesis on the "Microfluidic Fabrication and Characterization of AESO microparticules" in front of P. Joseph (LAAS), V. Schmitt (CRPP) and R. Bongiovanni (Politechnico Torino). Congratulations Dr Lu !

#LivingArchitectures We put cells and cytoskeleton filaments on the architecture of the musée d'Orsay. www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/agenda/ev... Scientists of the #CytoMorphoLab adapted their protocols to illustrate the questions that keep them awake at night. -> Two shows on the 24th and 25th of January.

We introduce a modular biosensing strategy using targeted lipid microparticles to monitor phagosomal acidification in real time. These biomimetic particles are engineered to couple receptor-specific uptake with fluorescence-based pH reporting in macrophages. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We introduce a microfluidic device that can trap, analyze, and release individual microparticles on demand using membrane deformation driven by pneumatic pressure. The setup uses a deformable membrane suspended over an array of traps. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our work on hydrodynamic instabilities in active jets is on the cover of PRL this week! journals.aps.org/prl/abstract... A dialogue between experiment and theory, where we use light to control active suspensions and show how they can be destabilized by their self-generated flows

Pure Hydrodynamic Instabilities in Active Jets of Puller Microalgae
Using phototaxis to control cell orientation, various instabilities can be induced in jets of motile microalgae.

A nice sky viewing night with family and kids, thanks to the Space Bus, in Corsica and under the full moon. Discovered these new (?) smart telescopes providing easy imaging of celestial bodies for a reasonable price

What if we could trap Lipid Droplets and control their dynamics in cells? Our latest work does just that, using Engineered Condensates to manipulate LD behavior. Exciting results by Chems Amari and the team! Great collab with ‪@abdourachidthiam.bsky.social‬ #Organelles #Condensates rdcu.be/emYpU
