🧠 Just published: our latest paper explores why great segmentation doesn't always equal accurate therapy detection in stroke research. Key finding: Training nnU-Net with probabilistic GMM labels boosts therapy response accuracy.

In today's episode of the Night Science Podcast we talk with Martin Schwartz from Yale about the importance of stupidity in science: while learning science makes you feel smart, true scientific discovery often involves feeling stupid, because it means venturing into the unknown.

Our PhD student Louis Romette is optimizing long-term live-cell imaging. He just casually dropped this 65-hour movie of a growing neuron (div 3 to 6) with knocked-in actin 🔥🕶️ #realtimemicroscopy

The Martins Lab developed a new family of Shift Reagents to assess the accumulation of lactate in the tumor microenvironment using #CEST #MRI. These contrast agents, highly stable and with potential for clinical translation, offer a new point of view into the compartmentalization of tumor metabolism
