I have more live imaging of actin in B cells from this week for this #FluorescenceFriday

I'm back at regulardly doing some live imaging so I have new little videos of actin in the immune synapse.

Happy to see this dynamic micropatterning project taking its beautiful shape as a preprint!

Immune synapse enthusiasts, please take a look 👀 Maybe something to try in your projects too? 🤩

Adapting an amazing tool from @ivaskalab.bsky.social 💥

Dynamic Micropatterning Reveals Spatial Dynamics of B Cell Receptor Signaling and Immune Synapse Formation B cell activation by foreign antigens, recognized by the B cell receptor (BCR), is the key prerequisite for cell differentiation for antibody production. B cells typically encounter antigens bound to ...

I'm very happy to finally be able to show what I have been working on for the last years (with help of @sarahdezperez.bsky.social and Elmeri)!

Now I must observe how it does the full acquisition or I will die.

I have been betrayed by my favourite microscope.

Leica Stellaris 8 microscope and PC screen, turned on and imaging a sample.

My beloved.

I guess at some point I should introduce myslef.
Hi, I'm Blanca and I work in early B cell activation. The thing I really enjoy is touching all the microscopes I can get my paws on so you can expect me to start uploading my favourite images that I have stashed somewhere ☺️
