🌟 Pre-vacation #MicroscopyMonday magic rendered by @Daniel_Stabley! 🌟 This is a showstopper: our top plasma membrane probes light up neurons and glia. But wait, there's more! The grand finale? A lattice light sheet stunner showing off its isotropic prowess in the XZ view. Confocal 3D rotations, eat your heart out! 🧠🔬✨ #Neuroscience #MicroscopyMagic #NextLevelImaging #cellbio #cellfie #scicomm #neuroscience #Microscopy

We are very happy to share our collaborative work on the discovery of PEX39, the first human #peroxisome biogenesis protein discovered in the last 20 years. #cellbio

This project was pushed by @WalterWChen1@twitter.com in the US, Tony Rodrigues from Jorge Azevedo's lab in Portugal and @dwendscheck from our lab. Find the @biorxiv_cellbio preprint at https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.04.30.591961v1 and more details in Walter's twitter thread at https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1786445533021630539.html

🔬First Mastodon post alert!☺️
Hey there, I'm Delnia, and I've just embarked on my PhD journey in Cellular and Structural Biology at IGBMC, University of Strasbourg.🧬
I'll be focusing on unraveling the (ultra)structural mysteries of Golgi organization under the expert guidance of Florian Fabler. 🧪🔍
A repost would be fantastic as I'm building my network here on Mastodon.
Let's connect and explore the world of science together!

It seems to me that in Cell Biology / Development / Genetics the "candidate gene approach" has become pretty much standard. Can anyone direct me to a paper (review, commentary, theory), discussing the basis, and the pros and cons of this approach? Asking for a friend...
