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 …

A new paper with collaborators Jacopo Bertolotti and Sophie Brasselet is just out in Optics Express with the title Wide field fluorescence epi-microscopy behind a scattering medium enabled by speckle correlations.
We show how one can image through a (discrete) scattering medium with a bog-standard epi-fluorescence microscope and acquire images …

We recently published a paper that shows relationships between structure and function of cardiac muscle strips, known in the field as trabeculae, that to our knowledge were previously not fully appreciated.
The paper is open access in Scientific Reports.
Michelle Munro, lead-author who conducted the study, found that there was …
