"Cell-estial bloom" Image from Özge Özgüç: A ‘Cell-estial bloom’ of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) flourishes on a micropatterned island. This image presents a colony of live hiPSCs, with fluorescently labelled Lamin B delineating the nuclear lamina within each cell. Acquired with a Zeiss LSM 880 Airyscan microscope, this maximum intensity projection is enhanced with depth-coded coloring to reveal the captivating three-dimensional landscape. "Dancing actinotroch" by Allan Carrillo-Baltodano: Actinotroch larva of a phoronid worm with phalloidin shown in yellow and acetylated tubulin in magenta. Imaged with a Zeiss LSM 800 at 10 x magnification. "Who’s active?" by Julia Peloggia de Castro: The image depicts a zebrafish embryo at 9 hours post-fertilisation on a lateral view. Cells are stained with MitoTracker, which labels active mitochondria, and cell membranes are labelled in cyan with a EGFP transgenic membrane tag. Image was taken using a 20x objective on a spinning disk confocal microscope.

Over the next few days at #biologists100, try to catch @joyceyu.bsky.social with the Node's polaroid frame 📸

We'd love to promote you and your research: write your name and key words of things you're passionate about, and smile! 😃

Here's an example from our reporter @jens-cells.bsky.social #Wnt3
the Node's conference reporter, Jen Annoh, posing with the polaroid frame in the atrium of the conference venue. On the frame the text reads "Jen Annoh #Wnt3". Behind Jen is a roller banner about The Company of Biologists.

I absolutely love this beginners guide to scientific conferences by @jens-cells.bsky.social. It's not only useful for beginners either- there is lots of great advice even for those of us who have been attending conferences since the last millenium.

Cells “speed date” to find their perfect neighbors when forming tissues. This marks a pivotal step in creating functional organs, like in this early heart development illustrated in a fly larvae.

Fly embyro with cells labeled to show heart formation. The heart (cyan) forms from two distant regions of the embryo (far left). These regions migrate to the embryo midline, where they fuse into a tube to make the first heart structure (far right). Precise alignment and pairing of these cells are crucial for proper heart development.
