What's behind that dune? #mifobio2025

The next generation of microscopists gets organised around the Young scientist network GDR Imabio @gdr-imabio-ysn.bsky.social #mifobio2025 @gdrimabio.bsky.social

Just arrived in Bayonne! Excited to meet the crowd of #Mifobio2025

Direct single-molecule detection and super-resolution imaging with a low-cost portable smartphone-based microscope - Nature Communications Loretan and colleagues present a low-cost smartphone-based microscope capable of detecting single-molecule fluorescence. This approach opens doors to personalised and widely distributed applications in diagnostics, biosensing, and science education.

Let's explore the #Mifobio2025 programme !

👉 "Focus On” : “Molecular interaction and Mechanosensing using Atomic Force Microscopy”

✨ We are delighted to welcome @felixrico.bsky.social

🎤 Lecture : Mechanical mapping by atomic force microscopy. From cells and tissues.

I am very sad after learning that Jochen Guck passed away. We have lost a giant. Jochen, I will really miss you.

We've got some nice data today... 😊 The semicoated cantilevers just travelled about 1500km

Crossing the beautiful British countryside on my way to Sheffield for the 15th #AFMBioMed summer school organised by
@alicepyne.bsky.social and Jamie Hobbs. All the way by train from Marseille 🤓🚂 @dynamo-lab.bsky.social

The #25EngLife conference is over and it was great, including the talks by @sarawickstrom.bsky.social, @bladoux.bsky.social and @routierlab.bsky.social. Many thanks to @stefandiezlab.bsky.social and the other organizers🙏🏻

Excellent talks and excellent discussions at #25EngLife with @ismahene-mes.bsky.social 😊

Congratulations to the poster prize winners of the #25EngLife Thank you again for the organisation. It's been a fantastic meeting!

Closing #25EngLife with the beautiful work on Shaping organs through plant tissue mechanics by @routierlab.bsky.social Very smart image/data analysis!

Great work by @bernaozkale.bsky.social on nano robotic microgels for mechanically guiding stem cells differentiation #25EngLife

Fantastic work presented by Lucia Baldauf from @gcharras.bsky.social on force sensors for living tissues 🤯 Looking forward to the upcoming ... #25EngLife

Last day of #25EngLife starts with a beautiful story by Sergi Garcia-Manyes

We close the day at #25EngLife with an inspiring talk by @frankschnorrer.bsky.social Titin rules!

*interesting (not injustement) 😅

Continuing with an injustement talk by @bladoux.bsky.social on scribe nematics of muscle cells #25EngLife

Nice ouverture of the afternoon session by @ulrichschwarz.bsky.social on "Living tensions" #25EngLife

#25EngLife 😅

The second day of #24EngLife starts with Matthias Rief on the RNA/Roquin and integrin/talon/kindlin interactions

Excellent meeting! Thank you for the organisation!

Beautiful work led by @yogiboi.bsky.social Together with our previous measurements on streptavidin/biotin, our new approach allowed us to cover 15 decades in loading rate ! Yes, 15 decades! 🤯🤓

Near equilibrium unbinding of streptavidin/biotin using single molecule acoustic force spectroscopy The dissociation of the streptavidin-biotin (SA-b) bond has been widely characterized using bulk and single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) techniques. However, the dissociation rates ( k off) from...

The curious case of streptavidin–biotin: a non-covalent bond.
Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy: “SA-b bond breaks in 1s at equilibrium”
SA-b at equilibrium: “Not really, More like 1-10 Days.”
(Answer: nobody—we were just pulling way too fast (far from equilibrium))
