RyR MINFLUX study in Nature Communications

MINFLUX Nat Comm

We have just published a paper in Nature Communications, MINFLUX microscopy resolves subunits of the cardiac ryanodine receptor and its 3D orientation in cells.

MINFLUX microscopy resolves subunits of the cardiac ryanodine receptor

We present purely optical data of RyR2 distribution with sub-molecular resolution by applying 3D MINFLUX microscopy. Using …

Paper out in ACS Photonics

ACS Photonics

We have just published a paper in ASC Photonics, Optimizing Effective Labeling Efficiency in MINFLUX 3D DNA-PAINT Microscopy by Maximizing Marker Detection Probability.

Optimizing Effective Labeling Efficiency in MINFLUX 3D DNA-PAINT

The gist is that we noticed needing considerable imaging time to exhaustively image the markers in densely labeled samples …

Our Lab in Physiological News Spring Edition

Physiological News

Phd student Carl Harrison has written a very nice perspective for the spring edition of Physiology News.

Carl gives an overview of our work on super-resolution imaging of clusters of RyR2 and why physiologists, mathematical modelers, biologists at large and everybody else should care about it.

For info, the sleeping …

RyR Cell Reports paper is out!

RyRs Cell Reports

We have just published our paper on fully quantitative imaging of ryanodine receptors in Cell Reports. A good start to 2018! Using DNA based labeling we were able to push the optical resolution to new limits.

Here are our highlights:

  • With enhanced resolution, individual RyRs were observed within dense clusters …
