Felt a little festive at the microscope this morning for #FluorescenceFriday 🎄

Here’s the nervous system of a juvenile sea star ⭐️

Green = acetylated tubulin, red = nuclei

Happy holidays!

As a biologist working on the cellular and molecular development of gills, I love seeing gill architecture inspire solutions like this plastic-filtering technology....truly inspiring 🦓🐟🔬
Mikroplastik stellt eine große Belastung für Mensch und Natur dar. Forscher haben nun einen Mikroplastikfilter für Waschmaschinen entwickelt, der sich an den Kiemen von Fischen orientiert. So können selbst winzige Kunststoffpartikel besonders effizient aus dem Abwasser gefiltert werden.

To build the body plan of an animal, cells must adhere to one another via cell-cell junctions. We now know these assemble as punctate protein complexes containing thousands of proteins, but how this occurs remains mysterious. 1/n 🧪

A new research facility dedicated to axolotls, will be opening soon. Hosting the UK’s only dedicated axolotl research colony and will support world class studies into regeneration, ageing, cancer resistance and stem cell biology.

Your periodic reminder that science is not done by a few selected "stars scientists". Science is done by hundred of thousands. Siloed money mean a few flashy discoveries and a lot of waste. Want to change things? Make funding accessible and stop funding calls with less than 2% success rate.

This… it’s just mind-blowing. Truly incredible insights into gill biology 🐟🔬. Just look at those blood cells moving through the vascular space of the pillar cells. I’m honestly jealous—amazing work! 🎉👏
Exciting new #Zebrafish research from the #WeinsteinLab, led by Jong Park!

Amazing to see red blood cells moving through the gills! Don’t forget to check out the supplemental movies ;-)

Honestly, when will unis and other research orgs collectively say enough is enough, and invoice them for all our unpaid labour that drives publishers MASSIVE profits?

1/2 A special #FluorescenceFriday for me! 🌈
Live muscle precursors on a pupal fly testis (Lifeact-eGFP, 🔥-depth-coded).

It's special because this is on the poster for the @sfb1348.bsky.social Meeting in May — my first time being featured as a speaker on a poster! 😀

Feeling very grateful & excited!

Super proud to be part of SFB1348 — and excited to share that I now officially have my own lab in Münster! 🎉🪰

We’ll study #cellbio & #morphogenesis, focusing on organ sculpting and #chirality in #Drosophila.

I’ll soon hire my first #PhD student — feel free to reach out!

I tried an even harder example on Gemini Pro image generation and this is quite scary/amazing. I asked for a microscopy image of around 20 HeLa cells, GFP tagged 20% nuclear, 10% membrane, +1 nuclear staining, + overlap. Image below and prompt in the following post.
