1/5: New preprint: Cytokines control the physical state of immune tissue. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Unlike structured organs (heart, liver), immune tissue can shapeshift to form functional structures like germinal centers (GCs), tertiary lymphoid organs, granulomas, etc.

A story about our blebbisome paper, "Exploring a New Frontier in Cell Communication: A Q&A with the Burnette Lab on Blebbisomes" has now been posted by @vubasicsciences.bsky.social! medschool.vanderbilt.edu/basic-scienc...

It’s a little late, but as of last Monday, I am now officially Dr. Sanchez. So incredibly grateful for the training and mentorship that I received in the Burnette lab under @mag2art.bsky.social ! Can’t wait to change research paths a little bit and start studying Toxoplasma with the Lourido Lab!

Dr. Sanchez? Yep! Congratulations @ento-sanchez.bsky.social! #CellBiology

Happy #FluorescenceFriday ! Today is an exciting day because I can finally share data from my thesis work. Below is a gif of a blebbisome, a new large extracellular vesicle that I describe and characterize in the article below. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’ll write more about this pre-print in the next few days, but please do take a look at this piece of work by Clément Dégut. It’s a 3D-printed open-source microscope that can image microtitre plates. Ideal for anyone looking for a new #DIY #science project #OpenSource #3Dprinting #microscope

So happy to have had the opportunity to present my research at #ASCB this year. Can’t wait to soon share the published research with everyone! Be on the look out for a paper talking about blebbisomes!

Tau is one of the most captivating cytoskeletal accessory proteins, shown here in hippocampal neurons for #FluorescenceFriday 🔬

Excited to reveal specific reactive oxygen species as sentinel molecules that control localized protein degradation at #mitochondria to adjust electron transport chain abundance, with many implications for the role of ROS in development and disease. www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Vimentin DNA-PAINT 🌞 in COS-7 cells #FluorescenceFriday

Amazing new work from the lab of @aliceyting.bsky.social @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social @stanfordbiosci.bsky.social, engineered GPCRs for ligand-activated cell responses www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great thread full of #bioimageanalysis goodies

Nothing like the confocal room to boost your melatonin levels and have you ITCHING for a nap at 3pm

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

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

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

A cardiac myocyte (heart muscle cell) going through cell division surrounded by cardiac myocytes not going through cell division. DNA (yellow), myosin II (cyan) and actin filaments (magenta) are shown. #FluorescenceFriday #Science #Biology #CellBiology #microscopy

Hello BlueSky! Here's my inaugral post for #FluorescenceFriday: microtubules lead the way! #microtubules #microscopy #migration

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.
