In vivo antimicrobial activity of engineered mesoporous silica nanoparticles targeting intracellular mycobacteria - Nature Communications
Current treatment options for Mycobacterium marinum infections are extensive and challenging. In this work, authors explore the potential of functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles as a carrier for delivery of drugs against M. marinum.

#preprint:

We optimised the preparation of tissues for #X-ray phase contrast imaging.

Drying tissue samples (instead of embedding them) brings more signal in #X-ray phase contrast images.

The process largely preserves #ultrastructure.

The effector caspases drive cell death, but their activation can often be survived, so how do cells make this decision? Our new preprint from @levayerr.bsky.social shows that instantaneous caspase activity is important, but past activation has a key role to play!

Many cells during development are exposed to caspase activation and yet survive. Why some die and not others ? We found out that the memory of previous caspase activation bias significantly later death comitment and bias death distribution and single cell decision

Indeed, the participants formed groups and implemented @napari.org plugins from scratch for tasks like pixel classification or cell tracking.

At the end, the groups did a live demo of their plugin 💻

I was super impressed! 🥳
