We bumped into #preLighter and former intern (also @the_node & @focalplane_jcs) Ryan Harrison. ๐ #biologists100
Here, he presented a beautiful (pink ๐คฉ) poster detailing his work on cell organisation & 3D shape emergence in a posterior neuruloid system. โจ

Great new #preLight from Kanika Khanna!
Roses are red, violets are blue, when the disk proper grows, hippo stretches peripodial epithelium too. ๐น
A new post from Girish Kale covering a #preprint led by another #preLighter: Sophia Friesen who works in the #HariharanLab

Two new posts on preLights today! ๐
The first has been written by our new #preLighter Yueh Cho (postdoc at #IPMBSinica & #AcadSinica) who covers a #preprint from Tina Schreier and colleagues which shows that light and photosynthesis trigger plasmodesmal formation in C4 dicotyledons ๐ฑ
An inducible tagging strategy to label proteins enables nanometer-scale localisation of molecules in human cells. #cryo-ET #FluorescenceMicroscopy. ๐ฌ
#preLighter Martyna Kosno-Vega covers an exciting #preprint from the #MahamidLab #EMBLHeidelberg.
Happy New Year! ๐ Two preLights to kick off 2023.
2nd: urban-adapted mosquitoes may spread malaria to new regions as the Earth warms ๐ฆ๐ - an important (and alarming) #preprint from Sadie J. Ryan, Catherine A. Lippi and colleagues.

Happy New Year! ๐ Two new #preLights to kick off #2023.
1st: Itโs all clicking together - Keqing Nian, Yifang Liu, Laura Brigandi & Sara H. Rouhanifard develop a DNA oligomer-conjugated ligand for copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloadditions.
Check out the latest #post @preLights? ๐๐
https://prelights.biologists.com/highlights/expansion-microscopy-at-one-nanometer-resolution/
#preLighter Nadja Hรผmpfer covers a #preprint which describes the combination of #SRRF analysis with 10-fold expansion microscopy #ExM. ๐ฌ Their approach allows a final resolution of 1 nm; a #resolution at which the shape of individual proteins becomes apparent when labelled with a pan-protein staining.
This preLight also includes comments from #authors Ali H. Shaib & Silvio O. Rizzoli ๐
Navigating a tense situation: the plasma #membrane and actin #cortex form an integrated system for rapid long-range #tension #propagation.
#preLighter Nicolaes Hyun-Kee Min covers a beautiful #preprint from @HenryDeBelly and team (Weiner, Turlier, and Bustamante labs) which provides a simple and widely applicable #model of how tension propagates. One that not only considers membrane rigidity/fluidity, but the underlying actin cortex as well.
