Wow, I've found a great video tutorial about #BigTrace plugin for @FijiSc, very clear and smooth. It includes many new recently added features. Thanks, Johanna (don't know ur twitter handle)! The channel has many other useful videos, so like and subscribe youtube.com/watch?v=Viqf4txC…

Interesting discovery that fura Ca+ fluorescent dyes are actually myosin inhibitors comparable to blebbistatin
Matt Daniels MD PhD@cardiacpolymath5 May 2023
Replying to @cardiacpolymath
23/ It appears the dye works on the same spot as blebbistatin, you can use one drug to fight with the other So why is this important? ~2000 ❤️ papers have been done in the presence of a myosin inhibitor that was disguised as a dye - the experimenters probably didn't want that

In a recent perspective article, @magni_fye and Irina @KaverinaLab discuss insulin secretion hot spots, which are regions of clustered insulin secretion at the pancreatic β cell membrane. Check out their @FrontCellDevBio article! doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2023.1… @VanderbiltCDB

Frontiers | Insulin secretion hot spots in pancreatic β cells as secreting adhesions

Pancreatic β cell secretion of insulin is crucial to the maintenance of glucose homeostasis and prevention of diseases related to glucose regulation, includi...

High-throughput methods for analyzing single-cell secretion in beta cells did not exist, which prevented the application of CRISPR to study insulin secretion. Two groups from @VanderbiltMPB and @VanderbiltCDB have now fixed this issue. @KaverinaLab medschool.vanderbilt.edu/bas…
