Happy Friday! Here to bring a bit of brightness to your day are a few images by Julissa Burgos, one of our graduate students in the Tyska lab here at Vanderbilt. Gorgeous!! 🔬

This is couple of years old since I rarely have time to sit at a scope these days but I was inspired by the end of year #FluorescenceFriday posts on hear and thought I should drop on y’all my Eye of Sauron, aka a mouse oocyte containing nuclear actin filaments #actin #meiosis #oocytes

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! These are polarized epithelial cells with microvilli on their apical surface! Captured using the #Nikon NSPARC, and color-coded by depth #actin #microscopy @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

Thought Spef1 one was some ciliary protein? Check out Dr. Rocio‘s (@rtpastrana.bsky.social) poster on how Spef1 shapes epithelial monolayers, no cilia needed 🤩. Tuesday at #cellbio2024, P2439, B46. @vucellimaging.bsky.social

Have you always wondered how microvilli form? Where DOES that actin come from to form the core bundle? Come to the #BuildingTheCell (Part 1) subgroup tomorrow morning at 8:45 to find out! Room 29C. #CellBio2025

Also, also on Monday at #cellbio2024 I get to present Olivia’s (@operkins.bsky.social) unexpected discoveries on the link between clathrin-mediated endocytosis and the growth of epithelial microvilli 🤯
P1831. B137.

Posters on tuft cells are about as rare as tuft cells, but at #cellbio2024 on Monday, @jen-silverman.bsky.social presents “P1718. Organization of a cytoskeletal superstructure in the apical domain of intestinal tuft cells. B23” Yes! those are gigantic actin bundles 🤯

As promised, here a fast acquisition of a migrating cell videoed under a microscopy, look those membrane dynamics @ the leading edge !

Bonus: nuclear deformation once the cell rear snaps.
(Fluo nucleus, for the #fluorescencefriday)

Starting the week strong! Cheering myself up for the next challenges with 15 min of axonal growth cone dynamic madness. F-actin (cyan) and membrane (magenta) show their dance. One image taken every 10 s.🧠🔬

Good sampling on this confocal volume of small intestinal tissue showing the apical shag carpet (blue is F-actin, magenta is ZO1)🔬🤩

Admittedly, this is a reversed movie of #microvilli collapsing, but how cool would it be if growth were synchronized like this? #FluorescenceFriday
