Happy #FluorescenceFriday! These are polarized epithelial cells with microvilli on their apical surface! Captured using the #Nikon NSPARC, and color-coded by depth #actin #microscopy @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

Synchronized filopodial formation for #FluorescenceFriday 💥 #CellBiology #Microscopy @vucellimaging.bsky.social

Posters on tuft cells are about as rare as tuft cells, but at #cellbio2024 on Monday, @jen-silverman.bsky.social presents “P1718. Organization of a cytoskeletal superstructure in the apical domain of intestinal tuft cells. B23” Yes! those are gigantic actin bundles 🤯 @vucellimaging.bsky.social

Also, also on Monday at #cellbio2024 I get to present Olivia’s (@operkins.bsky.social) unexpected discoveries on the link between clathrin-mediated endocytosis and the growth of epithelial microvilli 🤯 P1831. B137. @vucellimaging.bsky.social

Also Monday at #cellbio2024! Julissa (@yuyi106.bsky.social) will present her studies on the role of an I-BAR protein (IRTKS) in the pathogenic mechanism of Enterohemorrhagic E. coli 🦠🧫🔬 P2352. B677. @vucellimaging.bsky.social

Intestinal #organoid goes rogue and flips polarity 🤯 @vucellimaging.bsky.social #epithelial #cellbiology #microscopy

Fibroblast filopodia practicing a one two punch 🥊💥 🔬: 2-Photon of live mouse skin

Behold, microtubules! 🤩 eGFP-tubulin expressing HeLa cells for this #microscopymonday @zaniclab.bsky.social

A long time ago, in an actin based galaxy far, far away... #MicroscopyMonday #cytoskeleton #actin

Needed a *flash* of inspiration for my first post. Check out these dynamic actin structures in HeLa cells #cellbiology #cytoskeleton #microscopy

When you’re imaging and your sample takes a Pikachu! Having fun playing around with our new #Nikon NSPARC for #FluorescenceFriday #microscopy #myosin #epithelial #cellbiology #meme @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! For my first one on this app, I’m showing a movie I got while taking the MBL physiology course. Using the NSPARC, I imaged Trichoplax stained with a membrane dye.

Good sampling on this confocal volume of small intestinal tissue showing the apical shag carpet (blue is F-actin, magenta is ZO1)🔬🤩 @vucellimaging.bsky.social #microscopy #cytoskeleton #epithelial #cellbiology #biology

First #FluorescenceFriday here on 🦋 Hope you enjoy this cross-section of the intestinal epithelium, highlighting the actin within the #brushborder @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

Admittedly, this is a reversed movie of #microvilli collapsing, but how cool would it be if growth were synchronized like this? #FluorescenceFriday @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

It's #FluorescenceFriday fresh off the press is this depth coded image of #Microtubules. @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

As my official introduction to the blue sky. Here is a TIRF image of #HeLa cells forming and elongating its beautiful #filopodia! @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

I'm excited to rebuild this #science community over here on Bluesky! In honor of this clean slate, here's a repost of my favorite #epithelial cell building its brush border. @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

Inaugural post 🦋 The apical microvilli of intestinal epithelial cells create dazzling displays as they assemble the #brushborder! This image was acquired on the remarkable #Nikon NSPARC in @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

Pretty sure there is nothing more mesmerizing than microtubule gliding assays 🤩 #kinesingliding @zaniclab.bsky.social

Working on spatial interactions (it's an atomistic model of a bacteria cell) #visionpro

mStayGold on endogenous EPS8 🔥🔥🔥 courtesy of pre-Dr. Kianna Robinson 🙏🙌 Dear EGFP, thanks for all the data, it’s been nice knowing you. @vucellimaging.bsky.social

This is a movie of actin filaments in a cultured cell. I like watching it and I hope you do to.
