Huge congratulations to all three Nobel Laureates, and especially Peter Hegemann! 👏 His seminal work on the green alga Chlamydomonas 🦠 laid the foundation for optogenetics. Thank you for putting Chlamy in the spotlight! ✨ Proof that groundbreaking discoveries don't always come from animal models! 🔬

Do you want to label the nuclear envelope? Do you work on a non-model species? Try Concanavalin A!
We tested ConA on various species across the eukaryotic tree and find it is a very useful ExM-compatible marker for the NE and ER.
Read all about it in our preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
