#FijiImageJ macro time!
It's been a while...but somehow it feels like riding a bike.

Fantastic paper !

What *is* surprising is how good it is - don't think anyone ever saw more accurate, direct macrophage chemotaxis. The movies are remarkable.

The device on the left has no initial gradient, just homogeneous C5a throughout. The macrophages create the gradient themselves, while they go.

How do proteins find their way to the cell's leading edge? @jimgalbraith27.bsky.social & @cathygalbraith.bsky.social break down how bleach line, FLOP, single-particle tracking, FCS & iPALM reveal intracellular fluid flow and an actin-myosin compartment barrier. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Just because it's Monday, we love #microscopy & we love #mitochondria, the powerhouse of the #cell

We videoed mito under the microscope to see their dynamics.
Here they join forces!

Ofc we <3 the other #organelles too (to prevent jealousy)

Good luck @andreamurillo.bsky.social !

Thanks ! This Flip looks amazing, I'll check if there's anything available for calpain.
You da best @joachimgoedhart.bsky.social !

Yes !! That's what I meant...single FP based reporter for calpain

Sorry, I wrote the previous message while doing other stuff and it's practically impossible to make any sense out of it.

Cool ! Do you know any good single fluorescence reporter?

Correct, the changes in the fluo are only due to the mechanical damage.
Maybe @annalisabellandi.bsky.social could tell us more ;)

Quickly turning on the lights to do the cut?
Surely @annalisabellandi.bsky.social can tell us ;)

This is why we love #CalciumSignaling

Look how mechanical damage triggers long range Ca2+ waves in this plant !!

Spider-like neurons finding their way: signposts for multipolar migration in the developing brain - FocalPlane Spider-like neurons finding their way: signposts for multipolar migration in the developing brain - News

📢New behind the paper story

Using the #zebrafish retina as a model, Jaakko Lehtimäki
@jalehtimaki.bsky.social, Caren Norden
@nordenlab.bsky.social & team dissect multipolar migration in the developing brain. In this post, Jaakko takes us through their research.

This week we are introducing neuromodulatory assembloids.

Over the past few years, many circuits and cell-cell interactions have been modeled in assembloids, but these systems have not systematically incorporated neuromodulation.

Wow, it looks fantastic !!
How many tiles for this stitching? 😱
