  1. Check it out at PNAS today. Thank you Alexandre for the collaboration!!

    PK Mem probes offer long time-lapse imaging of cell membrane dynamics. Made possible by Jing Ling, Yitong Liu, and all the collaborators!

  2. Hot off the press: The excellent Maheva Andriatsilavo and colleagues show how a temporal sequence of stochastic molecular mechanisms allow the emergence of stereotyped individualised neuronal circuits. Just published in Nature Neuroscience: rdcu.be/ek010

    Nature Neuroscience - The developmental origin of behavioral individuality is unclear. The authors show that a temporal sequence of genetically encoded stochastic mechanisms explains variation in...

  3. New from the lab: @maheandria.bsky.social and colleagues in collaboration with the Hiesinger, Stoeckli and von Kleist labs dissect the sequential emergence of axonal targeting during development in today's issue of Nature Neuroscience: rdcu.be/ek010

  4. Hi Erica, thanks! for 2D cultures: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... for 3D cultures: www.frontiersin.org/journals/mol... for live imaging I used 8-well IBIDI μ-slides with same PLL/Laminin coating and the same medium as in the JCS paper. Cheers Alex
