🧪🌾REVIEW - Curious about how to study plant organelles?🔬🧬

This review from @nowako76.bsky.social group highlights the potential of fluorescence-activated organelle sorting to isolate organelles and study processes inside plant cells.

Live within 40 miles of Norwich and think you might be low in vitamin D? 📍

Take part in our study investigating whether tomatoes biofortified through gene editing to be high in vitamin in D can help boost vitamin D levels🌞

You may be breathing in pollutants right now but you wouldn’t know it. That's because Australia doesn't monitor indoor air to scientifically acceptable standards. A new Academy report to be launched today explores the policy pathways to improve indoor air quality.

Time to act to improve the air we share indoors
If you’re indoors right now, do you know how much of the air you're breathing is someone else’s ‘breath backwash’ or what pollutants it contains?

Beautiful systematic analysis of membrane thickness inside native cells. This is a great use of both the Chlamy Dataset (bsky.app/profile/cell...) and #MemBrain segmentations (bsky.app/profile/lore...). The open-source workflow is a very helpful resource for #TeamTomo. Thanks and congrats!! 🧪 🔬
Just published! We share an open-source workflow to measure membrane thickness from tomograms, including a tutorial with 3D visualizations. We analyze thickness variations across organelles and reflect on where to define a membrane boundary. @becklab.bsky.social #teamtomo rupress.org/jcb/article/...
