1/ 🚀🧪🤖 Big update for #Omega — the LLM-powered autonomous agent for bioimage analysis in @napari.org ! Custom LLM endpoints, layer actions, plugin extensibility, agentic widget maker, modernized UI, & 30+ fixes. Here's what's new in version *2026.2.8.2*:
These images show live embryos of animals (jellyfish, crustacean, worm, sea urchin, sea squirt, beetle) and one of animals closest single-celled relatives. They were captured taking advantage of fluorescent proteins localised on the outer membrane of cells, allowing us to observe cell outlines. 1/9
If you've been wondering what our current obsession with OME-Zarr and lego blocks is about, I have good news for you: the Fractal preprint is out!
Thanks to @joelluethi.bsky.social , all co-authors, and the Fractal developers and users community for making this beautiful project a reality ❤️
Checkout this updated preprint-a tour de force and truly globe-spanning collaboration with an exceptional group of scientists.

Happy to share our perspective on Mechanobiology across scales! This started as a stimulating discussions at the N4M conference, Camogli 2 years ago and culminated through lots of discussions, edits and co-working!Special thanks to Daniel Müller and his lab for coordinating and driving this work 🍾📣
And here is the link to access the whole pdf. Enjoy!
I strongly believe that focusing on information & computation during Development provides an important framework, that encapsulates the genetic, chemistry & mechanics, but focusses on organisation, dynamics & logic.

How does an ovarian follicle remodel in space and time to release an egg? 💥🥚
We have an exciting PhD project combining follicle culture, advanced imaging and quantitative analysis to understand the cellular dynamics of ovulation. 🔬
Co-supervised by me and @guignardlab.bsky.social. Please share! 🌱

An accessible light-sheet microscope delivers subcellular-resolution, multicolor volumetric, and live-cell imaging, lowering barriers to state-of-the-art performance.
We’re excited to share our latest preprint on Fractal: our approach towards FAIR bioimage analysis at scale with OME-Zarr-native workflows.
Fractal defines interoperable tasks on OME-Zarr and provides a platform for TB-scale image analysis.

Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 11 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41565-026-02179-0The Perspective highlights key challenges in mechanobiology, including the need to engineer multicellular reference models, develop and refine biophysical methods to manipulate and quantify biomechanical properties across scales and establish theoretical frameworks to interpret complex mechanobiological phenomena.
