Bile acid retention in efferocytic #macrophages shapes their inflammatory status during #cholangitis. New study from Amirah Al Jawazneh, Imke Liebold, Stephanie Leyk, Lidia Bosurgi (Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf) et al.: rupress.org/jem/article/... @pjsaez.bsky.social #inflammation

Bringing together science & art, @manuelthery.bsky.social & the CytoMorpho lab describe their project on how cells adapt their shape to their environment using the Musée d’Orsay as their template! The full performance was presented over two nights at the museum earlier this year. #sciart #cellbio

Al Jawazneh, Liebold, Leyk, Bosurgi et al. show that engulfment of bile acid–loaded hepatic parenchymal cells results in the transfer of bile acids to phagocytic #macrophages, altering their inflammatory profile. rupress.org/jem/article/... @pjsaez.bsky.social #Inflammation #Cholangitis

Happy #CtenophoreDay (10-04) for those in Europe, UK, Australia & others that use DD-MM-YYYY format! This bi-annual event celebrates these squishy globs of goodness 🤩 Go ahead: share your favorite #ctenophore images and videos using the hashtag #CtenophoreDay! Credit video to @oceana.bsky.social.

Time to put the new German Society for Cell Biology lunchroom into your calendar! As always an excellent lineup:

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) From @cellcommlab.bsky.social 🧪🔬 @focalplane.bsky.social

PhD position in my lab!

Join us for a wonderful interaction with the virologist MJ Amorim at the CBR. Virus are helping us to uncover fascinating cell biology of centrosomes and cilia, and at the same time better understand host-pathogen interactions and how those can be targeted. Please spread to those interested!

Big news🥂I'll start my research group at NIMSB!🔥🎉Hard to describe how HAPPY+EXCITED I am about bringing new #AI #imagedriven biomedical research + growing together🌱I'm grateful to my supervisors,colleagues,collabs+mentors who inspired+encouraged me throughout 🤍

I think there is a need for a complete re-think for organoid modeling. As long as the architecture of organoids that you produce is not directly compared to a 3D map of the organ (say, a fallopian tube) or disease to be modeled, it will be approximate. More here: www.science.org/doi/full/10....
