Why is fighting malaria hard? High quality diagnostics for 100’s of millions people is missing.

To give you a glimpse of why it’s hard, let’s play game: “Finding Waldo” watch video below with sound.

What you saw was “real time” diagnostics in health post in Senegal. #octopi

🔴🔴We have run into a situation where we can’t use trusty Halo-JF646 for our far red imaging. I haven’t followed what the best far red (not nir) FPs are these days? Any advice would be much appreciated!

My first #EMBO skeletal muscle meeting. Thank you for the invitation, what an awesome community and great science #Myotwitter @gomes @AnadaRosaSoares

[Ana Raquel Pereira, PhD @Pereira_ARR]

Exciting new story from our lab on nuclei positioning🔵 during skeletal muscle development. Blood vessels seem to accumulate more myonuclei 🔴
Led by the amazing @CatarinaAS 💪🏼

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
I am thrilled to announce our latest work where we explored the link between myonuclear position and blood vessel organization during skeletal muscle postnatal development! Out now in @Dev_journal 📍

Everyday, cells like this crawl through your body to protect you. While we know that their front 🔴 and back 🔵 polarity programs work together, how exactly do these two processes communicate? Lets chat!

Insects build specialised muscles in one animal? Flight muscle sarcomeres oscillating at 200Hz with gigantic A-bands vs regular larval sarcomeres. How? Solution: 1. I-band titin isoforms 2. Mechanical feedback from I- to A-band. Took 10 years to figure out

@vincentdebakker Congratulations Vincent. And wishing you all the best for your future endeavours 🎊

We are all living in a bubble that deprives us of experiences needed to understand the true magnitude of the threat posed by the rise of multi-drug resistant infections. It would be wise to allocate resources that match the severity of the threat.

How can the weak survive in this competitive world?
This beautiful movie shows the fierce competition between actin networks for scarce resources. A central rule of biological ecosystems captured by a minimal reconstituted system.
Congratulations to @cguerin38 and @acoli12 !

[Ana Raquel Pereira, PhD @Pereira_ARR]

Truly inspiring work. Would love to contribute for projects like this in any way possible.

[Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) @MBLScience]

In the MBL Physiology course, faculty member Manu Prakash opened a window on the huge distances marine microbes travel with an ingenious app for light microscopes that his lab invented.

🔔🔔 Calling all iPSC-derived Neuron folks…does anyone know of any (non neuron-specific and constitutive) promoters that robustly survive transdifferentiation from iPSC>Neuron during NGN2-based forward programming. For us CAG and EF1a(long) work well…is there a third?

[Ana Raquel Pereira, PhD @Pereira_ARR]

Is that an isolated myofiber? 🙂‍↔️😲

Bioimage analysis is complex. @haesleinhuepf & team are encouraging collaborations between biologists, data scientists + computer scientists to bridge gaps & drive advancements

[Ana Raquel Pereira, PhD @Pereira_ARR]

Great to work with you and your awesome group.
Excited to see you and @CarolynMoores1 groups in Porto to discuss the exciting new science ahead
