(1/n) DNA-PAINT imaging inside the nucleus at single antibody resolution using TIRF? Ultrathin sectioning makes it happen!
Grateful to share my postdoctoral work introducing “tomographic & kinetically-enhanced DNA-PAINT” or in brief: tkPAINT. Out in @pnas.org!

What better way to launch our new account with the publication of @jmstein.bsky.social latest paper from the lab! 🧪 Check out the 🧵 below to learn more about tkPAINT and how we use it to image proteins, DNA, and RNA in the nucleus using DNA-PAINT.

In this episode we talked with @andersshansen.bsky.social from MIT about his work on the impact of 3D genome structures on gene expression and advanced techniques like Region Capture Micro-C for mapping genome organisation. #podcast #epigenetics

Excited that our paper was published in Science Advances 🧪
Great work by first author Merrick Pierson Smela who will carry this work forward in his new start-up!

Wyss researchers have induced human stem cells to initiate meiosis – a key step in creating eggs and sperm – in the lab for the first time. This work was published in @science.org Advances.
Recapitulating egg and sperm development in the dish
By Benjamin Boettner (BOSTON) — More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only for increased access to affordable, high-q...

Specialised super-enhancer networks in stem cells and neurons
Super-enhancers (SEs) are clusters of enhancers with high transcriptional activity that play essential roles in defining cell identity through regulation of nearby genes. SEs preferentially form multi...
