[WEBINAR] How to study multiciliated cell with volume electron microscopy?
Camille Boutin (IBDM, Marseille) will present how she used microscopy approaches - including correlative imaging, SBF-SEM, FIB-SEM, etc. - to reveal the multiciliated cell architecture.

A fossil nervous system meets modern neurobiology.
We found that a living comb jelly preserves neural architecture remarkably similar to those inferred from Cambrian fossils over 500 million years old 🤩.

📢On June 1st, we will be launching CenSpark650, the very first selective fluorescent probe for imaging centrioles and cilia in live cells.🔬 No transfection, zero genetic manipulation. Just Add & Image 1 hour later. Learn more: spirochrome.com/12-may-2026/

And now it's out! Happy that PNAS selected for the cover this SEM image snapped by @samjlord.bsky.social, one of the most evocative visualizations of Euplotes that I have ever encountered.

Stay tuned for what is shaping up to be some fascinating follow-up in the lab...
Very excited that our discovery of Sms1 as the #MAPK #scaffold of fission yeast mating has just been published in @natcomms.nature.com!

Congratulations to Gautam Dey (EMBL) and Omaya Dudin (University of Geneva) for being awarded the EMBO Gold Medal 2026 in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the #LifeSciences in Europe! 🧪 https://www.embo.org/press-releases/embo-gold-medal-2026-awarded-to-gautam-dey-and-omaya-dudin/
Funded through our Science Program, this technique expands the scientific toolkit in ways that can reshape what researchers are able to ask and answer. New research – #ExpansionMicroscopy enlarges cells up to 60x by embedding them in a water-absorbing gel www.quantamagazine.org/expansion-mi...
How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

What could be more exciting than watching Euplotes scurry around under the microscope? How about adding some raptorial predation by supergiant cannibal cells?
