Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has said Jose Mourinho made a β€œhuge mistake” in accusing Vinicius Junior of inciting an incident that ended with the Real Madrid forward alleging racist abuse.

Karolin Luger - Vilcek Foundation Karolin Luger's research led to the capture of a high resolution image of chromatin, resulting in the development of innovative drug treatments for diseases like cancer.

Unquestionably the result of combined effort from all current and former lab members, support from colleagues @CSU and @CU, and support from @hhmi-science.bsky.social and NIH over decades. A heartfelt πŸ™ to my nominators and of course @vilcekfoundation.bsky.social.

Day 2 also covers Fourier Optics, with a fantastic lecture from Dr. Peter Kner! You'll never understand Fourier transforms better than you do after Peter explains it, trust us.

Attempt number seven at uploading this video of intermediate filaments in an enormous COS7 cell. I have a feeling the BlueSky compression will not do it any favors.

4Pi-SIMFLUX: 4Pi single-molecule localization microscopy with structured illumination - Nature Methods 4Pi-SIMFLUX is a single-molecule localization microscopy approach that achieves a near-isotropic resolution below 10 nm in whole mammalian cells.

We are happy to share our latest work, 4Pi-SIMFLUX, which combines structured illumination with interferometric detection to achieve near-isotropic 3D localization precision of 2–3 nm and resolve sub-10 nm structural features across whole mammalian cells.

A Photoswitchable HaloTag for Spatiotemporal Control of Fluorescence in Living Cells Photoswitchable fluorophores are critical for advanced bioimaging. Here, we develop a photoswitchable self-labeling HaloTag that can reversibly modulate the emission of a bound fluorogenic dye via a ....

Our photoswitchable HaloTag is out in Angewandte Chemie @angewandtechemie.bsky.social ! We now also show that this system can be used to control emitter density in SMLM. Congrats to Franzi, Bego, and our amazing collaborators. Check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Maud Menten was born in Canada in 1879 and completed her UG and MD education at University of Toronto. As a research assistant with Leonor Michaelis in 1912, they wrote the classic paper describing the β€œMichaelis-Menten” model of enzyme kinetics.. #WomenInScience
