Thank you @cellarchlab.com and @computingcaitie.bsky.social , I had a great time in Basel! #TeamTomo

Ben Engel @cellarchlab.com · Jun 12

Such a joy to host @gaiapigino.bsky.social as the keynote speaker of our annual @biozentrum.unibas.ch @unibas.ch symposium! It’s amazing how far Gaia and her team have pushed the IFT field. Nice exchange with @computingcaitie.bsky.social and the rest of our group. Thanks for visiting! #TeamTomo 🧪🧶🧬🔬

Great collaboration with @gaiapigino.bsky.social at @mpicbg.bsky.social and @humantechnopole.bsky.social 😊

TUD | B CUBE - Center for Molecular Bioengineering @bcube-tud.bsky.social · Feb 5

🚥 The Diez lab @stefandiezlab.bsky.social found that posttranslational modifications of tubulin regulate intraflagellar transport in cilia, helping to separate forward and reverse trains, preventing crashes and traffic jams!

Immagine you could image two cellular structures in the same fluorescent channel and still reliably get them separated afterwards…
What would you do with this?

Now… what would you do if that also worked with 4 structures at once? 👇 #MicroSplit #preview🧵

Schematic overview on how MicroSpit operates. It can split superimposed structures in fluorescent image channels by using a suitably trained AI.

Concrete example for how MicroSplit unmixes four superimposed structures.
