Genetically encoded biosensor for fluorescence lifetime imaging of PTEN dynamics in the intact brain - Nature Methods
A first-in-class fluorescence lifetime-based FRET sensor for phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) enables the dynamic monitoring of PTEN activity in cultured cells and in vivo with high spatiotempora...

Beautiful work by my the lab of Huan Ma, which I had the pleasure to contribute to. A fascinating link between neuronal activity, and transcription-excitation coupling in mitochodria to brain function and ageing www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Boosting neuronal activity-driven mitochondrial DNA transcription improves cognition in aged mice
Deciphering the complex interplay between neuronal activity and mitochondrial function is pivotal in understanding brain aging, a multifaceted process marked by declines in synaptic function and mitoc...

Pathogenic proteotoxicity of cryptic splicing is alleviated by ubiquitination and ER-phagy
RNA splicing enables the functional adaptation of cells to changing contexts. Impaired splicing has been associated with diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa, but the underlying molecular mechanis...

I'm very happy with how this image turned out and can't even wait for #FluorescenceFriday! I'm trying to detect Tau protein phosphorylation before forming full fibrillary tangles in #Alzheimer disease. Healthy neurons: (🟠NeuN), Dying neurons: pTau ( 🟣422), (🔵AT8). More info in the Alt tex! 🧠🔬
