🔬🧠We are pleased to announce that our work on Paralemmin-1 as a powerful regulator of the neuronal submembrane cytoskeleton has been published in @ScienceAdvances! Read the full study here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #Neuroscience

Scientists @VictorMacarron, @ElisaDEste & Manfred Kilimann @mpi_mr_hd & @mpi_nat have now discovered with a team that the protein paralemmin-1 plays a key role in organizing the membrane-associated periodic skeleton #MPS in nerve cells. Check out the results here:…

Single-color 3D MINFLUX of periodic paralemmin-1 (Palm1) along the axon of a mature neuron. YFP-Palm1 was detected with a nanobody against YFP in combination with DNA-PAINT. Image courtesy: @VictorMacarron, MPI for Medical Research, Heidelberg, Germany More in the paper with…

Day 3 of our advent calender opens a door of the Optical Nanoscopy department.🔬 The image shows a hippocampal neuron that expands and bifurcates its dendrites to connect with other neurons as much as necessary. What a beautiful cell! ✨(Image by Victor Macarron)

Retreat time! We will spend the next days discussing the exiting science done within our SFB project!

Finally, I also made it to @ForumWissenGoe to see the great image acquired by @VictorMacarron . Now we can say it: this neuron was overexpressing #Palm1! 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ready, set, go Max Planck Manatees!🚣‍♂️ Today our Institute is represented by an amazing team in Heidelberg's 17th Drachenboot-Cup 2024! Who is going to win? The Manatees already won the first round 👏 Come by to witness the sunny weather, intense drumming and sportsmanship ☀️🥁

Let there be light! 💡Today is #InternationalDayofLight, which celebrates the role light plays in science. Let’s take a look at what our expert @VictorMacarron, postdoctoral researcher in Optical Nanoscopy, can tell us about light-based technologies at the institute. 🔬👀

In our newest work from @StefanHellLabs at @mpi_mr_hd M. Remmel and @_jessematthias showcase PaX dyes for quantitative and live-cell @MINFLUX nanoscopy. We also report a new dye, PaX595, for dual color 561 MINFLUX imaging based on spectral classification. doi.org/10.1002/smtd.2…

Part II of the "TED" talk is now available @christlet Persistence - key to success? We've come to accept that pursuing science involves multitude of failures. Dr. Christophe Leterrier shares how he overcame setbacks and what ensures some bright moments in the academic career…
