Interesting discovery that fura Ca+ fluorescent dyes are actually myosin inhibitors comparable to blebbistatin
Matt Daniels MD PhD@cardiacpolymath5 May 2023
Replying to @cardiacpolymath
23/ It appears the dye works on the same spot as blebbistatin, you can use one drug to fight with the other So why is this important? ~2000 ❤️ papers have been done in the presence of a myosin inhibitor that was disguised as a dye - the experimenters probably didn't want that

High-throughput methods for analyzing single-cell secretion in beta cells did not exist, which prevented the application of CRISPR to study insulin secretion. Two groups from @VanderbiltMPB and @VanderbiltCDB have now fixed this issue. @KaverinaLab medschool.vanderbilt.edu/bas…

As we prepare to inject millions with an mRNA-based vaccine, it’s worth remembering that mRNA wasn’t even known to exist 60 years ago. The historic 1961 review by Jacob and Monod proposed its existence and it was isolated soon after (pg. 349). gs.washington.edu/academics/…
