We're having a great Functional Imaging and Super-Resolution Microscopy course this year again. With engaged students learning about FRAP, FRET, STED, FLIM and many more (not necessarily 4 letter) fluorescent microscopy techniques.

But also a really nice talk by Ben Giepmans about ColorEM.

Wetenschappers van het Erasmus MC hebben ontdekt dat de bloedstollingsziekte van Von Willebrand niet altijd veroorzaakt wordt door een fout in het gelijknamige gen. Ook een probleem bij de uitscheiding van het stollingseiwit kan de ziekte teweegbrengen. amazingerasmusmc.nl/interne-gene...

More and more sacrifices on a bonfire of science denial. Shocking doesn't even come close.
Chilling to see this list of terminated NIH grants. Research on Alzheimer's, HIV, rare diseases, vaccines -- gone. Cancer centers closed, training grants & fellowships terminated. Young scientists stranded. Patients waiting for treatments that'll never come. Just sad.

Although still in 'First Edition' style, I am happy to finally share our latest article on DNMT3A double mutant AML. Hope to be able to share the way-easier-to-read print version of the paper soon! (1/2) #hemesky ashpublications.org/bloodadvance...
Double mutant DNMT3A AML: a unique subtype experiencing increased DNA damage and poor prognosis
Key Points. 1. Wildtype DNMT3A enhances TDG-mediated repair, whereas mutant DNMT3A impairs this process.2. Double mutant DNMT3A AML exhibits increased DNA
