Berlin born and raised biochemist, super-resolution microscopy, septins, cytoskeleton, @ewers_helge lab @fubcp, now on Bluesky:

Now out on bioRxiv. 🥳My research on #cytokinesis, averaging thousands of #ExM images🔬, creating a dynamic atlas of cytokinesis 🦠⏳. Here's an animated sneak peek of what we found. Better resolution and full FOV on bioRxiv😄 #GIF_PSF

Could #ExM help us to overcome the #diffractionBarrier? 🪼

What a way to celebrate German Unity today! I presented my research at the #Zeiss Planetarium 🌏🔬🔭, a GDR building, during my first @ScienceSlamDE 🎉 The micro and macro world have so much in common. 👉🏽Let's focus on similarities in East and West Germany and what unifies us!

The enemy of every microscopist - and non-German native speaker. 😄 Try to say 'Auflösungsgrenze' 3times in a row.... 🪄

@A_STEDhammer @RaluucaG @Fran_Bottanelli You have to update your bio 😆

[Ewerslab @ewers_helge]

Paper out: Gene encoded nanoparticles (GEMs) with 180 GFPs are cool tools to track in cells. GEMs reveal biophysical basis of infection, too. Using GPI-anchored nanobody receptors over 6 logs of affinity shows that adhesion energy alone explains uptake! https://t.co/cK6dZeOCed

[Raluca Groza @RaluucaG]

Glad to see my PhD work from the @ewers_helge lab out now in @NatureComms. Check it out if you want to know more about the biophysics behind lipid-mediated endocytosis.

@P_M_Mueller 😂

[nadjahuempf.bsky.social (she/her) @MforMicroscaya]

Working on this with @RiaThielhorn and @ewers_helge fundamentally deepened my understanding of #ExM. I hope it will be useful for others who want to get started in #Expansion #Microscopy 🔬🦠https://t.co/NzJpzZEOHD

[nadjahuempf.bsky.social (she/her) @MforMicroscaya]

Finally it is out 😁. Our review on #expansion microscopy summarizes the key steps of sample prep and gives an overview of the different methods. Perfect for novices to the field 🧑🏽‍🔬

[Ewerslab @ewers_helge]

ExM-review online!
@MforMicroscaya @RiaThielhorn and I describe how ExM works, how to do experiments and control them properly. Plus list of everything you need to know and where to find it!
Thx to @AliHShaib Silvio Rizzoli & @HofkensLab for sharing data.

Today is THE day for expansion microscopy in Bordeaux 🤩

We can optogenetically release proteins in amounts compatible with single molecule imaging!🥰

EMBO Septin 2021 workshop was a great meeting and wonderful introduction to the #septin community. Happy to illustrate the recent findings of the field with some #ExM 🔬for the @CytoskelJournal special issue 🧫

[Cytoskeleton Journal @CytoskelJournal]

The start of something #new at CYTOSKELETON @CytoskelJournal. The #PICTURE OF THE MONTH! Thanks to Nadja Humpfer and Helge Ewers @ewers_helge for this fantastic image that will be part of a SPECIAL ISSUE on #Septins coming out soon! #cytoskeleton #microtubule #cell #microscopy

[nadjahuempf.bsky.social (she/her) @MforMicroscaya]

It was a wonderful workshop! Thank you so much Phylicia, Amita and Yuan for all your expertise and time! 🌺

[Bewersdorf Lab @bewersdorflab]

PanExM is Expanding: Scientists from all over attended our 2nd annual PanExM workshop! Hosted by our very own @phylicia_kidd, @AsmitaJha16, and @Yuan_Tian24 we spent the week expanding cells/tissues ~16X and trying New Haven food. Participants imaged their own prepared samples!

[nadjahuempf.bsky.social (she/her) @MforMicroscaya]

Did you know you could still see your cells in the gel when you do #ExM?! 🤩🦠 Just one of many hacks and learnings from #panExM2023 workshop hosted by @bewersdorflab at @YaleMed.

[Subhojit Roy, MD, PhD @Roy_Lab_Thinks]

and...thinking of you @SeptinLab #cytoskeleton
