Imaging lipids! The dream! How cool is that!
Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism.

New paper out 🎇
It has been 13 years since @owenlabuob.bsky.social and co. published a stellar protocol on how to measure membrane order with smart probes! Since then, there has been new dyes, imaging modes and biology! We wrote a protocol for Nature Protocols:
