Ângela Gonçalves on stage of Falling Walls Science Summit presenting a comparison of the number of menstrual cycles in an average western woman and a paleolithic woman. Each additional year of cycling adds a 9.1% risk to endometrial cancer development.

A still image of a video shown on screen that shows a follicle marked by individual cells' membrane (green), cell nuclei (magenta) and fluid inside the follicle (red). Melina Schuh on stage of the Falling Walls Science Summit presenting her group's research.

Helge Ewers pointing towards a huge screen that shows different stages of cytokinesis; Illustrated by individual and averaged U-ExM images of Septin2-GFP (green) and tubulin (magenta)

Sketches of six stages of cytokinetic development of the intercellular bridge are illustrated with exmaple U-ExM fluorescence microscopy images. Septin2-GFP shown in green. Tubulin shown in magenta. A shortened workflow illustrates the image alignment and averaging process to generate average 2D reconstructions of cytokinetic stages.

Animation of thousands of cells aligned and averaged, as they progress through cytokinesis. Tubulin is shown in magenta, top panel: Septin2-GFP shown in green, middle panel: MgcRacGAP1 in cyan and bottom panel: IST1 in teal.
