“Kiss-shrink-run” unifies mechanisms for synaptic vesicle exocytosis and hyperfast recycling
Synaptic vesicle (SV) exocytosis underpins neuronal communication, yet its nanoscale dynamics remain poorly understood owing to limitations in visualizing rapid events in situ. Here, we used optogenet...

🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

Excited to share our preprint on cytoskeletal organization in astrocytes!
biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Postdoc @mewynne759 looked at microtubules, IFs/GFAP & actin along long elaborate processes.

Wonderful to collaborate w postdoc @dharshinigopal & @NogalesLab on cryo-ET 🤓

Huntingtin binds and bundles F-actin!
Thrilled to team up with the Humbert (Sorbonne Université) and Song (KAIST) labs on this discovery.
We had a blast doing cryo-ET on this unexpected complex — and now so many new questions lie ahead!

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

Hey #teamtomo, if you often find yourself using the excellent membrain-seg from @lorenzlamm.bsky.social et al., you might find my napari plugin "napari-segselect" useful. Let's say your tomogram contains the edges of two bacterial cells, each with a membrane and cell wall:
