This isn't just a field trip of 2 weeks ! it's a collaborative learning sprint. Friends & colleagues from #EPFL, @sciencesunige.bsky.social, @unil.bsky.social, @biozentrum.unibas.ch @pasteur.fr & many more are here together. Every participant is both teacher & student.

Expansion microscopy is revolutionary but application to actin cytoskeleton has been challenging. Not anymore....we combine IntAct + U-ExM to get an unprecedented 3D nanoscale view of actin isoforms in expanded cells. Read the full revised paper here: plos.io/4vansgr

IntAct-U-ExM enables super-resolution imaging of isoform-specific actin networks across species
A previous study in PLOS Biology developed IntAct, a tool to study isoform-specific actin localization, dynamics and molecular interactions across species. In this Update Article, IntAct is coupled wi...

We are still working on coming soon to Bluesky, but in the meantime, don't lose the chance of following our research and cool microscopy data on Instagram at @livingpatterns_lpl24 www.instagram.com/livingpatter... (pic credit goes to @daphnelaan.bsky.social of course)

Very cool probe to label doublet MTs and therefore centrioles across different species and set ups (from live imaging, STED and expansion)!😍 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share our new preprint exploring how Paramecium achieves diverse flow functions, i.e. feeding and swimming, simultaneously. This work was spearheaded by our ExM expert, PhD student Daphne Laan @daphnelaan.bsky.social : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Great to see our paper on light-intensity dependent swimming patterns in #Chlamydomonas out now in Phys Rev Lett. as an Editors' suggestion! With a nice commentary by @philipcball.bsky.social. Chlamy actively modulate the beat planes of their #cilia! journals.aps.org/prl/abstract... #protistsonsky

🔬🚨New preprint alert! 🚨🔬 We developed quantitative expansion microscopy (qExM) - a method to accurately count proteins in situ by combining expansion microscopy's improved labeling with statistical estimators borrowed from ecology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #SuperResolution #CellBiology

Finally, we’ve solved a long-standing mystery: what tintinnid shells are actually made of: A new class of biomaterial formed by remarkable structural proteins unique to tintinnids. A major milestone after 3 years of work! Read about it in our preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202... #ProtistsOnSky
