Hello #BlueSky! Figured my first post had to be a #FluorescenceFriday 🧪 I work on #hiPSC cardiac disease modeling ❤️

Image shows the initial collision and fusion of a #Cardioid (right) with a blood vessel organoid (left) as part of a fun collaboration with @mvilacuenca.bsky.social!
How to fix a broken #heart 💔->❤️

#Proteoglycan rich #ECMatrix scar tissue is laid by migratory cells after a cardiac scratch wound with #hiPSC #Cardiomyocytes.

Happy #Fluorescencefriday #BlueSky & #CardioSky!

Here is my 2nd #FluorescenceFriday post! 🧪 #hiPSCs expressing jRCaMP1b, a genetically-encoded Ca2+ indicator 👻. This reporter allows us to record intracellular Ca2+ in hiPSC-derived #cardiomyocytes and cardioids (videos in the comments) #microscopy 🔬 #Science #Biology @benjaminbjohnson.bsky.social

There are so many #morphogenesis researchers here!
My first starter pack is full!
Here is Part 2: go.bsky.app/K6YYKeC

Tell me if I should add you but try to make sure, that you're not already in Part 1.
I cannot cross-reference everyone 😅

Dedicating this #Fluorescencefriday to the #ECMatrix lovers. Was trialing some ECM staining methods on a scratch wound and love the HABP staining looking almost like flames 🔥🧪🔬

Lets see what you got, @ablanchasensio.bsky.social 😉

Created a starter pack focusing on disease modeling in a dish using stem cells! 🧪🔬

Please (self)nominate anyone you think should be added to the list and repost so it finds the right people ❤️

🔥Super excited to drop our recent preprint🔥

biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Here, we automated the generation of 3D Cardiac Microtissues and performed a small high-throughput screen to identify several novel anti-arrhythmic compounds for CPVT1 🧪❤️

Hey #BlueSky! Here is my first #FluorescenceFriday post!
This cardiac organoid was derived from #hiPSC and imaged using light sheet #microscopy 🔬.

🔵 Cardiomyocytes
🔴 Endothelial cells
🟡 Fibroblasts

More coming next week! 🧪

My turn to create a starter pack for scientists using live imaging in their research! Of course, I’ve likely missed many—please let me know who else I should include. Thanks!

105 cool microscopists in this starter pack, but I know there are more out there! I want to find more 45 to complete the list, can you help me? 🤓🔬

Here's a starter pack that focuses on engineers/builders/makers/enablers of optical tools for (cell) biology.

I'm pretty sure that the pack is incomplete - if you want to join the list, please reply with your favorite probe (that you made or used) and I'll add you 🤓

Please share!

Here is a starter pack dedicated to Mammalian SynBio!

It is still incomplete so if you would like to be added/removed please let me know!
