Hey everyone !

Time for my #science #introduction

I am the PI of the @cellcommlab @ the UKE in Hamburg, Germany. We use #microscopy & #imageanalysis to study how cells move & communicate.

I am from #Chile, where I did my #PhD at PUC, then moved to Paris to work at the Institut Curie and IPGG.

After quite some years in #science (20 since I started my BSc !) I keep my fascination to observe how cells do things, like these migrating leukocytes.

I installed this Firefox add-on to make clicking the "Follow" button on external servers slightly less of a pain. You need to set your handle in the preferences. I also checked the no-pop-up option. You still need to click a couple extra times compared to following from your own server (Are you sure? something like that). Works for me. Thanks @rugk !
Images below show screen caps of the preferences and changed dialog.

Here some #microscopy of #optogenetics to locally generate protrusions in cells!

@pj_saez we need to bring the love of inverted LUTs to Mastodon

Hey people! Time for an #introduction! I lead a research group at the University of Sussex, UK. I’m interested in how the #brain controls its #blood flow, and what happens in the brain when there is a slight disruption in this energy supply, as happens before people develop symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. We image neurons, glia and blood vessels in mouse brain to try to understand what they do in different situations and when they go wrong. 1/4

I feel like Mastodon doesn't have enough cells doing weird things. #cellbiology

These are neutrophil-like WAVE-null HL60s doing "serpentine blebbing" when confined under an agar pillar.

Wild that cells with such a messed #cytoskeleton can still move so well. They're moving ~10um/minute here.

How developing tissues know what size they should be, even when growth is perturbed, is still deeply mysterious (at least to me)

This preprint shows JNK,
JAK/STAT, Wg are not required to restore normal size & shape of wing disc after 1/3 cells are killed

Tip 1: Use hashtags. There's no algorithm to suggest followers or shove posts into your feed in the hopes you follow someone.

Tip 2: Boost (re-post) toots liberally. *You* are the algorithm.

Tip 3: Use CW (content warnings / content wrappers) to discuss politics, the meta.

Tip 4: To create "threads", make the first post public and each reply "unlisted" to prevent clogging up your instance's feed.

Tip 5: Provide text descriptions, even just basic ones, when attaching photos or media.

Tip 6: Use the "report" features for moderating trolls so your admins can take action.

Hello folks, are there people here doing #python and #deeplearning 🤖 for #biology? Comment below, I wanna follow more such people! 😀

Birdsite refugees may have to learn protocols of symmetric follow of friends, or else they may get muted in Mastodon.

In 2008, the contrast with asymmetric follow was surfaced. #BenjaminEllis wrote:

@timoreilly responded:

First ever clinical trial underway of laboratory grown red blood cells being transfused into another person

If proved safe and effective, manufactured #blood #cells could in time revolutionize treatments for people with blood disorders such as sickle cell and rare blood types.

We really need a #DevBio hashtag to bring us all together here.

This seems like a step improvement in 2-photon microscopy

Spencer has a nice thread on it on Twitter (I don't think he's on Mastodon yet?): https://mobile.twitter.com/Labrigger/status/1589471340356333568

Just learned that favourites ⭐️ don't help popular posts get views. They just tell author you liked their post.

If you want others to see the content, be sure to boost it (re-Toot)! 🔁

🔔 To get started:

1. Follow me and I'll start to follow you back
2. Every time you forget to add a text description to an image I will send you a reminder.

Don't want reminders anymore Unfollow me!

Throwback to my first paper for my first contribution to #ScienceMastodon

We worked on the dynamics of vesicle reshaping and scission under osmotic shocks, including bursting and developing inner compartments.

#throwbackthursday #firstpaper #softmatter

Just arrived here as part of the #TwitterMigration, let's see how #science rocks in mstdn.science !

In order to properly start, here you have the actin cytoskeleton during #CellMigration
