We are excited to share that the first session of London BIIG will be on Friday 11th September at 12pm at the LMCB! Talks: Yongjoo Kim (UCL) & Nina Thornton (Crick) #l-biig Refreshments will be provided. Directions for LMCB can be found on our website.
The BioImage Interest Group is expanding! London-BIIG is bringing together microscopists and computational scientists across UCL, Crick, KCL and Imperial. Follow us for updates on bioimage analysis talks (@LMCB & Zoom) as well as next year's networking event! 🔬🧫 #L-BIIG
Exciting new preprint from Ignacio Vega Vásquez, Sauer lab, my team and collaborators: #Mega-ExM. From just ~20 NPCs imaged with a 10× objective on a confocal, we reconstructed the 3D structure at ~33 Å. A step toward optical structural biology in intact cells. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Ignacio Vega-Vásquez@igvegvas.bsky.social · 2w ago(1/4) We are very excited to share our latest preprint from @sauer-lab.bsky.social: Mega Expansion Microscopy (Mega-ExM)! We combine iterative hydrogel expansion with whole-proteome NHS labeling and post-expansion immunostaining, reaching tunable expansion factors up to ~1500× in whole cells 🤯

A molecular switch for coordinating kinesin and dynein transport of mitochondrial cargo
The cellular distribution of mitochondria in response to stress and local energy needs is governed by the relative activities of the microtubule-based molecular motors kinesin and dynein. The mechanis...

Crick BioImage Analysis Symposium@cbias.bsky.social · 2mo agoFantastic line of speakers for this upcoming edition of #CBIAS26🤩 With a novelty this year: image analysis beyond bio! Let's all share expertise, who knows, maybe tracking stars accros the galaxy is as exciting and challenging as tracking cells accros a whole embryo? Share far and wide #microscopy
Keeping that here, as a record of the Real Final of this World Cup. Great game, shame France didn't play the first half 🙂 Well done England!

🧬🔬 Scientists at Imperial College London engineered a virus to hunt cancer, explains Professor Amin Hajitou. It targets proteins found mainly on tumour cells and carries a malaria-linked signal that triggers the immune system to attack. More 👉 www.newscientist.com/article/2531...

Annual killifish continue to surprise us: they make neutrophils before almost every other cell type, even before gastrulation. Neutrophils usually arise from the lateral plate mesoderm (forming in cyan), but in killifish they are already patrolling around the embryo in gold. tinyurl.com/killiphil

🔬 Your tax dollars once paid a physicist whose own colleagues told him he was wasting the university's money. In 1951, Charles Townes sat on a D.C. park bench and worked out, on the back of an envelope, how to force molecules to release coherent radiation. 🧵 1/5
