Another #FluorescenceFriday, another movie of the cytoskeleton. This time around EB3-mScarlet3 and LifeAct-mStayGold co-expressed in U2Os cells! LUTs here (Ink collection)--> sites.imagej.net/JDM_LUTs/luts/

Today is National Lighthouse Day honoring the historical and cultural significance of lighthouses. I've posted this image before but have reprocessed it. It is the lighthouse at St. Marks Florida. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #bnw #blackandwhitephotography #infrared #fullspectrum #clouds

🐙 This Octopus shifts from deep to active rest while "dreaming" for #MicroscopyMonday. REM‑like sleep (color bursts and twitches) filmed in real time by Horst Obenhaus @octoscience.bsky.social‬, currently a 2025 Whitman Fellow at @mblscience.bsky.social. #NESM #Octopus #Neuro #SleepScience #MBL

One protein, two opposing roles: This ‘compelling’ study shows how the same signalling molecule can drive either protrusion or retraction in migrating cells depending on its concentration and activation dynamics. buff.ly/pMGXJVM

A very late #FluorescenceFriday. Reposting one of my favorite timelapses from the past year: EB3-mScarlet3 in a HeLa cell, look at those microtubules grow!

Shout-out to The Phage Collection Project run by @fnobrega.bsky.social You can order your very own samplng kit and help with the discovery of new phages to combat antibiotic resistance! Check their website for more info ➡️ www.phage-collection.org

Proud to work with and learn from an extraordinary biologist 🔬

Great nod to the photography work of Bernd and Hilla Becher

I miss when the biggest controversy about mRNA was whether it correlated with protein or not.

As scientist I am going through difficult times (this is understatement of the year for me!!). Past one and half months have been horrible, however I am trying to pick myself up and super excited to share my postdoc work with the community! #cellmigration www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I had to try this (see preprint), so here's a result with milk ± ampyrone and it just works!!

Does biofluorescence enhance visual signals in birds-of-paradise?: short answer, yes! Birds of paradise show fluorescence in the 520-560nm range. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Tubulin arginylation regulates #microtubule dynamics. New study from MacTaggart, @annakashina.bsky.social and colleagues identifies an ATE1-dependent #arginylation site at E77 of α-tubulin and show that this modification regulates the binding of MAP1S to #microtubules. https://buff.ly/4jqLqhT

Optogenetic and chemical genetic tools for rapid repositioning of vimentin intermediate filaments by Pasolli et al. Very exciting to see tool development for the less well-studied components of the cytoskeleton. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Curvature-sensing BAR proteins control junction turnover to promote collective migration of endothelial cells in angiogenesis. rdcu.be/d6a04

And an exciting preprint: Novel Far-Red ERK Biosensors by DeCuzzi et al. (Far-) Red biosensors open many mutliplexing and optogenetic possibilities for studying signaling pathways. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
