This is likely the most detailed recording of a #xenopus tadpole, highlighting the peripheral nerves plus every nucleus in toto! Hard to stop looking at this. Awesome work @XenoThomasnaert!
Replying to @voigtvision
The #schmidtobjective is perfect for high-resolution #imaging in cleared samples - here is a BABB-cleared #Xenopus tropicalis 🐸tadpole by @XenoThomasnaert first imaged at low resolution with a #mesoSPIM #lightsheet #Microscope and then with the new #schmidtobjective

We just released AlphaFold 3! All details are in the paper and you can use it on our server!
Announcing AlphaFold 3: our state-of-the-art AI model for predicting the structure and interactions of all life’s molecules. 🧬 Here’s how we built it with @IsomorphicLabs and what it means for biology. 🧵 dpmd.ai/3URDiNo

Beautiful 🔬🐁🧠 work by @voigtvision, Anna Maria Reuss, @XenoThomasnaert, Martina Schaettin, @AdrianaHotz2, @SNeuhauss, @estherstoeckli, @SLienkamp, @AdrianoAguzzi, @FritjofHelmchen collaborators at @MaastrichtU, @WEHI_research, @UniMelb @UniKonstanz in @NatureBiotech!
The January issue is live nature.com/nbt/volumes/42/is… Our cover shows neurons in the mouse hippocampus imaged with the Schmidt objective. Voigt et al. develop a multi-immersion objective based on a mirror instead of a lens go.nature.com/40qVlKH

@XenoThomasnaert asks and ANSWERS the essential question “what if we could knock in large cargo at a stable landing site in the #xenopus genome?” Gorgeous knockins? Yes, please! Super exciting stuff.

Short declarative sentences, active voice, simple english for the win!
Yea, sadly I have undergrads whose professors are still literally teaching them they should use the passive voice and say “this experiment was done..” etc.

Well said - same applies to Switzerland 🇨🇭. High time to get back into #Horizon #Europe!! Small bilateral agreements and replacement schemes cannot make up for the loss.
🔥 *New Zealand* has just joined Horizon Europe, yet we are still out - that's nuts. Sunak needs to sort this out asap. Horizon Europe is now THE global multinational science platform... and the UK used to lead it. Without it we're just not leading big science collaborations.

If you like building cool light-sheet microscopes, this is for you. The benchtop mesoSPIM @MesoSpim is faster, has better optics, larger field of view. Works for whole mouse, human cortex and more. @voigtvision @FritjofHelmchen @nvladimus biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Pls read if you ever wondered where Epo comes from.
27 Apr 2023
We're thrilled to share our recent @NatureMedicine study, cracking the decades-old mystery surrounding the identity of cells responsible for producing erythropoietin (Epo) - the key regulator of erythropoiesis and oxygen homeostasis in our bodies. nature.com/articles/s41591-0… (1/16)
