10/ With adaptive optical lattice light sheet microscopy (AO-LLSM), we’ve opened a stunningly beautiful and humblingly complex world of 4D subcellular processes viewed with high definition in living transparent multicellular organisms such as zebrafish.

It took more than a DECADE... but finally it’s published!!! It started as a CRAZY idea but after tons of hard work we built it: We hijacked the endogenous secretion systems of Toxoplasma gondii, a brain parasite, to deliver active proteins to neurons 👇

Webb has snapped a direct image of Epsilon Indi Ab: the coldest and most Jupiter-like exoplanet to be imaged so far. To make the discovery, Webb blocked out starlight (shown by the star symbol) with a mask called a coronagraph: go.nasa.gov/3SmQzvE
ALT This image shows the exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab. The image is mostly black, with blue scale-like features apparent in the central region of the image. At the center of the image, there is a black circle, and in the center, a symbol representing a star. This black circle blocks the light from the host star. To the lower left of the circle is a fuzzy bright orange circle, which is the exoplanet.

Sebastian Cocioba (@ATinyGreenCell) built a laboratory in his home using machines bought off eBay.
His dream is to design flowers. He's already engineered air-purifying houseplants and helped make the world’s first genetically modified Olympic mascot.
His story, in photos...

A green alga cell can swim 100 microns per second.
Scientists put little baskets on a wheel. As algae became trapped, they pushed and spun the wheel around.

I just posted ApE version 3.1.6 to the website. This fixes bugs in the recombination assembler, PCR eaction tool, and keyboard shortcut keys on the Mac.

Fun fact: octopi change their RNA and recode their neurons in response to cold, which they do rapidly (within hours) and widely

This new review paper from Chris Voigt's lab is a must-read for #synbio researchers and investors. His keynote at #SEED2024 contained a lot of the case studies and thinking in this paper.

Excited to share our lab’s new manuscript exploring roles for Histone serotonylation in the regulation of stress- and antidepressant-mediated gene expression and behavior!! Huge congratulations to Amni Al-Kachak and all co-authors for their amazing efforts nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

This is also why, as painful as it can be, we do anonymous lab surveys where members can give feedback on where/how I can make the lab a better place:

Meet MagLOV: an engineered protein that responds STRONGLY to magnetic fields.
This is a fluorescence timelapse of MagLOV in E. coli. We're waving a (small) magnet under the plate.
Can you tell where the magnet is?

Our 50th pub was a collective effort by our entire Discovery Team. We built a Raman spectrometer, collected samples from a local grocery store, and analyzed the data in just a few days to see what information we could back out of the spectra. This was so much fun!!

It's new-preprint-from-the-lab day! (In my opinion the most fun + authentic day to celebrate a new publication.) Check it out:
"Large-scale control over collective cell migration using light-controlled epidermal growth factor receptors"
