Our paper is now featured in focal plane! Check it out if you're looking for a platform to predict and plan imaging experiments before entering the microscope room! Very proud to be a part of this project - biggest congratulations to the team @henriqueslab.bsky.social who made this happen 🔬🛠️

🔬🔦In our latest Imaging spotlight, Damián Martinez, Bruno Saraiva, @taylashakespeare.bsky.social @mariodelr.bsky.social & @henriqueslab.bsky.social introduce VLab4Mic, an open-source platform that allows researchers to optimise microscopy experiments before performing them.

🔬🚀 It's out! Run 100s of imaging experiments before touching a microscope. #VLab4Mic reproduces them in silico from PDB/AlphaFold to help you image right first time. From rockstars Damián Martínez & Bruno Saraiva, inaugural preprint of @mariodelr.bsky.social new lab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨New paper out today in @acs.org ACS Nano, showing how expansion microscopy can visually quantify the cell surface receptor turnover mediated by signalling & receptor organising machineries on the surfaces of endosomes, some of the smallest organelles in cells. 🧪 🔬 1/ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

🔬🔦In their Imaging spotlight, @taylashakespeare.bsky.social and @ijayas.bsky.social highlight their research dissecting receptor sorting in endosomes using the calibrated 3D ExM toolkit that they developed. focalplane.biologists.com/2026/04/15/i...
