💥 Very cool science session at the @academiesciences.bsky.social with @christlet.bsky.social for the "Grandes avancées Françaises en biologie"
🎖prize to @florianwerner.bsky.social and @moparthisk.bsky.social

we characterized invadopodia in invasive breast cancer cells a couple years ago but they're different

and sometimes empty... (seen here in thin-section EM)

Has anyone seen anything similar? We'd love to hear your thoughts! 🔬

sometimes surrounding both caveolae & clathrin-coated pits 🏐⚽

💥 Quick thread on some stunning actin filament swirls🌪️ spotted under platinum replica EM, often forming nest-like structures around caveolae🏐

Zooming in on the ultimate connection! 🔬 💥Feast your eyes on this stunning electron microscopy image of a neuromuscular junction #EMFriday #ElectronMicroscopy

This plant spotted in the Greek mountains absolutely nailed endocytosis aesthetics

Dynamic duo at the cell's edge: Caveolae and the actin cytoskeleton work together to sense and respond to mechanical stress. Caveolae buffer tension, while actin provides structure and force. Ultimate biomechanics team. #CellBiology #Mechanotransduction

Clathrin-coated pits working overtime in your heart this weekend🔬 #ClathrinLife #WeekendScience"

Clathrin-coated pits, plaques, and adhesion... This post is dedicated to Christien Merrifield, who left us far too soon around this time in 2017. His memory continues to inspire 🔬

What’s on your Thanksgiving plate today? Here’s your daily serving of platinum-grade electron microscopy collagen VI supplement. It probably won’t hurt you—but it might not help much either... 🔬

One of my favorite images: a platinum replica electron microscopy shot of an unroofed cancer cell migrating along collagen fibers (blue). It beautifully captures the clathrin-coated pits (red, ~100 nm) and the intricate network of branched actin filaments (orange) 🔬
