Each such discovery is a game changer for our understanding of eukaryote evolution, and this paper is no exception. Meet Solarion, which displays yet again novel types of subcellular structures. Congrats to all authors on a fascinating story. #protistsonsky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Tools that track specific molecules in neurons have enabled researchers to probe previously unexplored aspects of neurobiology go.nature.com/4p2hyua

Intestinal villus cells extrude living, following a calcium pulse. Unlike from extruding apoptotic cells, Ca2+ messaging stops at the first neighbors! #FluorescenceFriday Part of our TrepatLab preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Video by @ronjahoutekamer.bsky.social @gloerichlab.bsky.social

Ozempic, MRI machines and flat screen televisions all emerged out of fundamental research decades earlier — the very types of study being slashed by the US government go.nature.com/47hn0n5

🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity! We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have: (1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs) (2) better hand dexterity (3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

A study that monitored the expression and function of designer receptors called DREADDs in macaque monkeys for a period of three years demonstrates that they are effective in long-term studies of nonhuman primates. buff.ly/WHU3w3s

Scientists just found several fossil bumblebees covered in pollen that directly matches fossil flowers nearby. The 24-million-year-old discovery reveals the oldest known evidence connecting pollinators to the pollinated. #Paleontology #NationalFossilDay 🧪🏺 New at @sciencenews.bsky.social

Can't wait to try this out!

I’m happy to share some plugins I’ve been developping this summer: "Channels and Contrast" and LUTs Manager! I can’t find new bugs and ideas by now so I need your help to please test them in your machines and report bugs, feedbacks and ideas! forum.image.sc/t/looking-fo...

Jane Goodall, known for her pioneering work with chimpanzees, has passed away aged 91 go.nature.com/46K10ja

I find that so many biologists are also talented artists. @hsuanpai.bsky.social is a skilled technician and apparently good at any artistic media she touches.. even LB.

My initial assessment of this paper ⬇️ was brief, so let’s have a better look at it: 🧵

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

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!

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
