Isotropic STED resolution (~70 nm) with a single objective using a new type of light modulator. "m-order vortex retarder" sounds like a Star Trek contraption but the images are stunning! arxiv.org/abs/2507.06718

Oil form droplets when mixed with alcohol, your monolayers dewet to form spherical aggregates, your friends dancing in a club form a circle, why?

I’m @challopeau.bsky.social and I will tell you about the origins and consequences of interfacial tension in tissues.

With a heavy heart I have decided not to attend a meeting in the US this June. I can’t act as if things are normal when science, universities, dissent & truth are all under threat. And I feel I can’t attend when there are scientists who are not able to travel to the US without fear of arrest.

#fluorescenceMonday another nice example of regionalization of #aECM, during development #celegans vulv(a), of one of the Cystein Cradle domain # ECM protein, a familiar shape in Marseille😉

How is extrusion of infected host cells related to ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) activity?

Hi, I’m @hundsdorfer.bsky.social from the @effiebastounis.bsky.social lab. Let’s follow the recent development of bacterially-infected cell extrusion & mechanochemical ERK activity waves.

Le ministre de la recherche a dit sa « préoccupation », mercredi, après cette décision des autorités américaines. Le chercheur du CNRS aurait subi un contrôle aléatoire à son arrivée, avant que son ordinateur et son téléphone ne soient fouillés.

"exciting to see this key piece of infrastructure really get the attention that it deserves" @katiecorker.bsky.social on the new non-profit that will run bioRxiv and medRxiv www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Preprint sites bioRxiv and medRxiv launch new era of independence
The popular repositories, where life scientists post research before peer review, will be managed by a new organization called openRxiv.

Despite court order, NIH grants remain frozen. Newly awarded grants, grants with fundable scores, & funds for a new budget cycle of a current project are all *FROZEN*🥶 and not being released. US research is being choked to death & is on life support right now www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
NIH is again throttling research funding in defiance of a federal court order
A freeze on "new and continuation awards" will "remain in place" pending DEI review, states a new internal memo.
