It’s not every day that you get to share a story that you truly believe changes a paradigm! Today is that day for us. We hope you agree: Cell Membranes Sustain Phospholipid Imbalance Via Cholesterol Asymmetry What's the big idea? Tweetorial below! 1/9

Cool new method! Analyze tons of properties of all sorts of nanoparticles (vesicles, viruses, nanodiscs etc etc) with a simple confocal microscope.
New paper out💥 in @NanoLetters High throughput single particle profiler with simple confocal imaging. We used this new method to study protein-lipid interactions, drug membrane interactions and biophysics of nanoscale particles from human donors:
