Hi, I’ve been working on an approach to use clustering to find bright areas on phagosomes. It’s been going decent, but I’d be interested to to hear if anyone else has done something similar with a bit more success. #microscopy

Median time to take it is 2.6 minutes. I promise it only takes significantly longer if you would like to leave me a rant about efforts that are a waste of time. Those make me laugh, though

Self-generated gradients guide collective cell movement -but often different cell types must move together, e.g. in immune response.
We develop a theory of self-generated chemotaxis in mixed populations -are there optimal principles for this cooperation?🤔
