We love the point where science meets art.

What you see are cells of the eye that are important for neuron function and health. In the bottom half, where you see all the protrusions, is where the cells and neurons collide. #LoveScience

@lacouvee #FluorescenceFriday for pretty microscope pictures, if you're into that.
Also:
#fensterfreitag (german-speaking, but pictures of windows or views out of them should be pretty universal)
#caturday (cat pictures, just in case you need more of those)

There also is #TardigradeTuesday which doesn't have any content, but I wish it would. Hey #Tardigrade folks, this is your time to shine!

@kagan may I suggest #FluorescenceFriday ? Lots of great microscopy pictures there

It's #FluorescenceFriday!

This week we look at the blood vessels in the brain of a 2-day-old #zebrafish using a state-of-the-art microscope. These data help scientists to understand how blood vessels form and develop.

We’re celebrating #FluorescenceFriday by highlighting the #OpenAcess @BiologyOpen study from Siyu Yang, Mingzhe Cao and colleagues. They use #zebrafish to investigate retinal development and function and find that loss of flrt2 leads to microphthalmia.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Eunice Silva, Ana Venda and Catarina Homem find that serine hydroxymethyl transferase is required for optic lobe neuroepithelia development in Drosophila.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Imaging endosomes always brings me joy! 🔬🪩 #cellbiology #microscopy

It’s #FluorescenceFriday and we’re looking at Drosophila SOP cytokinesis with Céline Bruelle, Roland Le Borgne and colleagues. They identify cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic functions of Shrub in SOP abscission.

Happy belated #FluorescenceFriday. Here is another video of a curious macrophage (in magenta) that went underneath an ectodermal cell (arrow) and split its nucleus in half to get through. The nucleus is also extremely plastic and it can deform significantly without rupturing!

I was looking through my old data from my PhD and came across this COS-7 cell with a rather interesting distribution of endosomes. They seem to localise just at the cell's lamella. Also, it is super bright. Happy #FluorescenceFriday!

Hooray, it’s #FluorescenceFriday! This week we are admiring the beautiful work of Cassie Kemmler, @chrmosimann, Alexa Burger, Kristen Kwan and colleagues. They share their next-generation plasmids for transgenesis in zebrafish and more!

Here the result of the 1st test

The other day, I noticed a few macrophages exploring their surrounding in a rather peculiar way. They press on the nucleus of the surrounding cells, hard enough to even deform and make it looks like they split the nucleus in half to get through. Check it out: #FluorescenceFriday

Happy #FluorescenceFriday y'all!

Repost with a better gif: Can never get enough of these macrophages (in magenta) doing transcellular migration. Here is another example. You can also see a portion of the epithelial cell on top of its protrusion #FluorescenceFriday

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. As promised, here is a video of a macrophage (magenta) seemingly performing a transcellular migration through an ectodermal cell (cyan). It stops when it's half in and half out of the cell. Very blebby too. The event happens halfway through the video :)
