From Click to Code: Reproducibility in Bio-image Analysis

Posted by , on 5 August 2025

Reproducibility is at the heart of good science. But when it comes to bio-image analysis, it can feel difficult to achieve. Complex datasets, shifting software environments, and countless manual tweaks often make it hard to retrace your own steps and share workflows with others. An aim should be to package the entire analysis, like code, data

Illuminating the Brain: Microscopy Techniques in Neuroscience and My Applications in the Lab

Posted by , on 23 June 2025

Understanding the brain’s complexity requires more than theory or behaviour; it demands a look at the smallest units of structure and function. Microscopy has long been a cornerstone of neuroscience, evolving rapidly from conventional optical methods to cutting-edge super-resolution and electron techniques. This article explores how confocal microscopy, STORM, and electron microscopy are advancing our

Microscopy Meets Medicine: Spirulina-Derived Nanoparticles Take Aim at Cancer

Posted by , on 14 April 2025

This article from the International Journal of Nanomedicine presents a promising new biomimetic strategy that makes use of natural resources as an alternative in cancer therapy. The Researchers have created Spirulina-derived Nanoparticles (sNPs) using a solvent-free process and with the aid of centrifugation and sonication technique. The lysosomes sus-pended averaged an approximate size of 126nm,
