ibidi Know-How: µ-Slide #Chemotaxis🔬

⏱️With stable #gradients lasting over 48 hours, the µ-Slide Chemotaxis is well suited for #investigating a wide range of cell types, including endothelial cells, fibroblasts, cancer, and immune cells.

🔬🦠Bacterial chemotaxis!🦠🔬
Students imaged bacteria expressing the small Ultra-Red Fluorescent Protein (smURFP) to follow attraction to sugars & repulsion to glycine.🍬

#Leukocytes: #Neutrophils (cyan) #Macrophages (orange) chemotaxis.

I couldn't share it before the retirement of @zebrafishrock.bsky.social, but cool #microscopy in #zebrafish continue to rock !

🔬 Targeting T-cell metabolism?

This study positions CARKL as a central modulator of T-cell bioenergetics, cytokines, and chemotaxis.

Could be a new node for immune modulation in disease.

CHEMOTAXIS

Helicobacter uses chemotaxis to swim towards some tasty sugars on the lining of the stomach, and finds its home there for life...

These data now converges in a philosophical question about causation during chemotaxis.
Does this response depends on >the extracellular cue or on the >cells itself? Could the "target cells" start the response?
