Our new literature review: “Imaging dynamic subcellular organisation at high spatiotemporal resolution” is out!

The review is now published in the Annual Review of Biophysics! It focusses on what we can learn by visualising the movement of intracellular compartments, which support key cellular processes like protein synthesis. A key factor in designing microscopy experiments is to match the spatial and temporal resolution of your...

Our primary Cell culture of Antarctic fish preprint is out!

Find it here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.24.720652v1.abstract . Antarctic fish are cold-blooded, which means their body temperatures are between -2 and 2 °C year-round. Such low temperatures pose major challenges to the foundations of animal cellular function, at least as we know it from studying...
