"ça va c'est qu'un aller retour en avion"

Sauf que cet aller-retour en avion, c'est 2 tonnes, soit ton budget carbone annuel cible qui part en fumée. En une fois.

CHACUNE de ces cases représente 2 tonnes CO2eq. On ne respectera JAMAIS nos objectifs climatiques sans changer de système !

SynapseNet is a deep learning based software tool that automates the segmentation of vesicles, mitochondria, synaptic compartments, and the active zone. This is visualized in three panels. On the left, a section of an electron tomogram with a synaptic compartment densely filled with vesicles, which appear as round structures with dark boundary and light body in the image, is shwon. The top right panel shows the segmentation result of vesicles, visualized by masks with an individual color per vesicle and outlines for the segmented compartment (red) and active zone (blue). The bottom right panels shows a 3D rendering of the segmentation with vesicles shown as yellow spheres.

Are you studying synapses in electron microscopy? Tired of annotating vesicles? We have the tool for you! SynapseNet implements automatic segmentation and analysis of vesicles and other synaptic structures and has now been published:

En révolutionnant la façon dont nous voyons les animaux et par extension nous-mêmes, Jane Goodall a changé le monde.

Pionnière de l’éthologie et défenseuse inlassable de la faune sauvage, elle laisse un héritage inestimable.

Et elle inspirera des générations de petites filles.

We uncover that the caudal splanchnic mesoderm (in green) acts as a midline anchor of the heart tube. In Vangl2 and Shroom3 mutants, its bilateral symmetry is disrupted, leading to a rotation of the heart tube and ventricle malposition.

New publication :
Despite being a core member of the PCP pathway, Vangl2 can play roles unrelated to planar polarity. This is the case during mouse heart morphogenesis.

Do you want to listen to me ramble about Pasteur's Image Analysis Hub (research.pasteur.fr/en/team/imag...)?
Let's meet online next Monday. I will present how we work, and what we have learned in delivering bioimage analysis support in the past 7 years.

Despite their high rigidity, microtubules (MTs) dynamically bend and buckle in cells. MT-self repair is inherent to their metastable nature, but it remains unclear whether just inherent repair mechanisms are sufficient to maintain MT integrity🧵 (1/9)

Il y a moins de 3 ans, personne n'utilisait ChatGPT. Aujourd'hui, c'est semble-t-il devenu indispensable pour des millions de Français. Mais à quel prix ?

Consommation d'électricité, consommation d'eau, extraction de matières premières... l'intelligence artificielle est un gouffre énergétique.

As hinted earlier, the biggest change in #PoCA to date: support for 2D/3D image data! 🧩🖼️ In fine, point clouds will be no longer the only game in town—PoCA is evolving into a more general spatial analysis platform. This (maybe too long) movie shows what's coming!
