Are you working with OME-Zarrs in Switzerland?
We're running a series of community events in the context of the BioFAIR project of the BioVisionCenter: Monthly Open Bioimaging Practices Meetups with presentations by us & community members. Starting off with 3 cool events this fall (see image) (1/6)

If you look for an easy way to plot OME-zarr images in your scripts, I hope the ez-zarr python package will be useful:

A perfect start in the new year! 🌱 Regenerating tissues are just an amazing spatio temporal controlled process! Our new manuscript explores how cell heterogeneity and bistability orchestrate intestinal regeneration. 🧵 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
Cell heterogeneity and fate bistability drive tissue patterning during intestinal regeneration
Tissue regeneration relies on the ability of cells to undergo de novo patterning. While tissue patterning has been viewed as the transition from initially identical un-patterned cells to an arrangemen...

What if plate tectonics had something to do with development? We found a new framework for dynamic origami in tissue folding in a nerveless animal. Will share thread; but if you are at #cellbio2024, see @cbrannon.bsky.social poster B399 today.
