This week's #FluorescenceFriday, we'll be treated with one of the classical models of #devbio, the neural crest cells. Here is a beautiful video of neural crest cells with GFP-tagged focal adhesion kinase (🔵) and LifeAct-RFP (🟣) migrating on a Fibronectin matrix.

I guess it never gets old...bc we love #CellMigration
ATP has many roles: energy currency, hydrotrope, and *danger signal*
Immune cells are faster after ATP exposure, F-actin (cyan) goes to the rear for nitro boost!

A timelapse movie (unpublished data) from the lab.
In the movie, the nucleus is moving towards the base of the polarized root hair cell.

During my postdoc, I looked at hundreds of images like this 🤩
These are two apical caulonemal cells from moss Physcomitrium patens stained with MDY64 (shown in shades of orange). The natural autofluorescence of chlorophyll is in cyan.

This image by MDI Bio Lab's Travis Carney is a #drosophila larval brain. Neural stem cells and neurons are marked, including axons that project into the brain. The flare in the center of each lobe is part of a learning and memory center in flies.

An iPSC heart muscle cell forming sarcomeres videoed through a microscope by Emma Koory for 20 h before it dies most dramatically. This was our first try on a new microscope, and Emma now has the imaging parameters dialed in so her cells do not go POP! Alpha-actinin-2 is shown. #CellBiology

What looks like art is actually biology — a rat liver cell seen under the microscope.
Those glowing strands are actin and microtubules, the scaffolding that lets the liver filter blood, detoxify chemicals, and even regrow itself.
