Diatoms – microscopic algae found almost everywhere there’s water – make up ~25% of Earth’s annual oxygen production.

EMBL scientists have found a way to reveal their inner structures by combining cryo-fixation with ultrastructural expansion microscopy.

Wonderful visit to @embl Heidelberg! Grateful to Alexandre Aulehla and @AissamIkmi for the invitation and to all the group leaders, post-docs and students for the stimulating discussions.

Amazing science and a great community!

Super excited to share our latest study on Bacillus subtilis in defense mode against protistan predation! https://t.co/YfPgyItWpL

[Hidenobu Miyazawa @HidenobuAnzo]

Ever wondered how metabolism regulates embryonic development? Our recent work demonstrates that metabolism has a signaling module controlling the tempo of embryonic axis segmentation.
