Our latest #preprint list is now up on FocalPlane. This week we focus on new tools and techniques in imaging🔬. Let us know if you’ve come across a recent preprint that we’ve missed. focalplane.biologists.com/2025/07/25/mic…

There is a cancer drug made from the ground-up leaves of the Madagascar periwinkle plant. It’s called vinblastine, and it was first approved by the FDA in 1965. The drug is used to treat many different cancers, including Hodgkin’s lymphoma (usually jointly with other…

We have multiple PhD and Postdoc positions open in my new group at Masaryk University. Are you an excellent and motivated candidate interested in organic and peptide synthesis and chemical biology? Get in touch! Start in January 2026. fialalab.com Appreciate sharing!

Brillouin microscopy again #winning in non-invasive, live-imaging applications! Studying fruit fly embryos at pivotal point in early development, when cells change shape rapidly, @Prevedel_Lab & @_Pulzar characterised and mapped mechanical changes in 3D. rdcu.be/ev6ZX

🥁 New article 📢: My #research on #Mechanobiology of #development in @NatureComms. We studied the mechanical dynamics of embryonic cell populations during #Drosophila #gastrulation using #Brillouin microscopy: rdcu.be/ev6ZX @Prevedel_Lab @embl. Highlights in thread⬇️

Historický úspěch českého týmu na Mezinárodní chemické olympiádě! Zlatá medaile a druhé místo v celkovém pořadí pro Václava Vernera – náš národní rekord v historii IChO. Matěj Pěnička a Ondřej Michal přivážejí stříbro a Adam Horák bronzovou medaili. Gratulujeme, kluci!

Looking forward!

🔬 Light-Sheet Webinar TODAY Spatiotemporal Imaging with LSFM: Having Your Cake and Eating It Too What if you could image entire biological structures and still zoom in on molecular-scale dynamics in real time? With light-sheet microscopy and FCS, it's possible. 1/2

If you are interested in FCS, FLIM and related methods: @BrukerFM @luxendo lightsheet microscopes can be equipped with these modalities. It is admittedly rather niche, but very powerful. We already have quite a lot of experience implementing it. Customer webinar about it⬇️
