One of the best parts of science is bringing new techniques and technologies into your lab. Our newest technique is SRRF imaging, which can more than double the resolution of nearly any widefield microscope, and can even be employed on living samples. The improvement this technology adds can be seen in the images of bovine […]
The Heit lab is excited to announce the publication of our latest paper – a video methods paper describing our procedure for performing highly quantitative and precise measurements of efferocytosis. This is also our first publication with our new collaborator, Dr. Dan Wootton from the University of Liverpool. Taruc, K., Yin, C., Wootton, D. G.,

We are excited to announce the publication of our newest paper Membrane Diffusion Occurs by Continuous-Time Random Walk Sustained by Vesicular Trafficking, published in Biophysical Journal. In this paper we investigate the diffusive process that mediates the movement of proteins on the cell surface, and demonstrate a key role of endocytosis and exocytosis in maintaining
