Excited for our latest work! We developed nanobinders for the luminal domain of Synaptotagmin 1 (calcium sensor for synaptic vesicles). Thanks among others to @verstrekenlab.bsky.social @opazo.bsky.social @meunierlab.bsky.social @volkerhaucke-lab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Nanobinders for Synaptotagmin 1 enable the analysis of synaptic vesicle dynamics in rodent and human models.

Synaptic neurotransmission is a critical hallmark of brain activity and one of the first processes to be affected in neural diseases. Monitoring this process, and in particular synaptic vesicle recycl...

IMAGING LIGAND-RECEPTOR INTERACTIONS AT SINGLE-PROTEIN RESOLUTION WITH DNA-PAINT🔬 Ever wonder how cells "talk"? It starts when ligands bind to receptors on cell surfaces. We have cracked the challenge of imaging small ligands on cell surfaces. #DNAPAINT #celltalk 💬 doi.org/10.1002/smtd...

One month ago today, I published my first paper with the @jungmannlab.bsky.social 🥳 What better way to celebrate #MicroscopyMonday than with this STAR Protocol on SUM-PAINT spatial proteomic imaging: a guide for highly multiplexed DNA-PAINT imaging in neurons. star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/4066

My main PhD paper is on bioRxiv! 🥳 We used motor-PAINT, expansion microscopy, and live-cell imaging of StableMARK to map out how the microtubule cytoskeleton reorganizes during neuronal development. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Polarity reversal of stable microtubules during neuronal development

Neurons critically depend on long-distance transport orchestrated by motor proteins walking over their highly asymmetric microtubule cytoskeleton. These microtubules are organized uniformly in axons w...

Whipped up a DNA-themed cake for the @JungmannLab - sweet science at its finest! 🍰🔬 #PhDlife

Do you know what I love most about my PhD @JungmannLab? Actually seeing the things I learned from biology textbooks come to life🪄. Check out this DNA-PAINT image of the Golgi, showing both cis (GM130) and trans (TGN38) faces together with peroxisomes. Happy #FluorescenceFriday😊

Looking at this beautifully detailed neuron, stained for 9 different proteins using SUM-PAINT, feels like stepping into one of David S. Goodsell's paintings illustrating the crowded cellular environment. #FluorescenceFriday #phdlife @JungmannLab

Excited to attend my first ever conference on single molecule approaches to biology by @GordonConf in beautiful Maine! Caught a fun 'Where's Waldo' moment in the hotel lobby - can you spot Ralf Jungmann and Luciano Masullo waving at me in the background? 🔍 @JungmannLab @l_masu

Happy Friday! To wrap up another exciting week of learning highly multiplexed DNA-PAINT in the @JungmannLab, here's a nice #cellfie of a rat hippocampal neuron stained for synaptic vesicle markers (Vamp2, VGlut1 and synaptotagmin), clathrin, neurofilament and peroxisomes.

Here it is - fresh off the press. Tracking substeps of kinesin in mildly fixed neurons using MINFLUX 🔬. I am proud to see my master thesis in close work together with Otto Wirth finally published! nature.com/articles/s4200…

My first preprint as a joint first author together with Otto Wirth and I couldn't be more excited! 📚 🔬 Exploring kinesin with MINFLUX during my Master's thesis was a blast while working with such talented minds in the Hell Lab. x.com/Stefan_W_Hell/… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
