Awesome preprint alert! Congrats Justine Creff, @deniskrndija.bsky.social and team!🎉

Denis Krndija @deniskrndija.bsky.social · Apr 6

🥳 Thrilled to share our lab's first preprint, led by our talented postdoc Justine Creff! 👩🏻‍🔬 We tackled a fundamental question: how the epithelium withstands mechanical stress at the interface of cells with distinct geometries and mechanics, such as enterocytes (E) and goblet cells (G) (1/9)

Are you passionate about live-imaging microscopy? Do you have a special talent for working with iPSCs? Or are you simply a zebrafish aficionado? 🐟
We have 2 funded postdoctoral positions in our lab (cbi-toulouse.fr/eng/equipe-b...).
Join us and apply now!
Please spread the word 🙏

Not checking nuclear markers like MALAT1 or intronic reads in your scRNA-seq data?🚨
We show their power to flag low-quality cells—even in top public datasets. It’s time to prioritize better QC for cleaner, more reliable genomics research!

High content of nuclei-free low-quality cells in reference single-cell atlases: a call for more stringent quality control using nuclear fraction - BMC Genomics

The advent of droplet-based single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) has dramatically increased data throughput, enabling the release of a diverse array of tissue cell atlases to the public. However, we...

Looking for a tag to localise fluorescent proteins to the plasma membrane? Unsure which tag might work in your species? We generated a toolkit of 11 membrane-localising tags, which can be screened rapidly by microinjecting mRNA in your species of interest. 1/4

A toolkit for testing membrane localisation tags across species

Transgenic markers and tools have revolutionised how we study cells and developing organisms. Some of the elements needed to construct those tools are universally applicable (e.g. fluorescent proteins...
