Imagine you could stain whole adult mice with standard IgG antibodies. What you couldn't do! We present wildDISCO technology for this🤗, creating the first whole body vascular, lymphatic, and nerve atlases.

An all-women team of four marine biologists, including #SFUBioSci prof Isabelle Côté @redlipblenny is preparing to row 5,000 km across the Atlantic Ocean in December, a journey that will take 40-60 days.
Their Salty Science voyage aims to raise $500,000 for three marine conservation organizations.

Today is #WomenInScience Day. I would like to thank all the great female scientists I have met. My first academic advisor in my undergraduate program was a female microscopist who sincerely cared about the impact of her research. She commercialized the first high resolution optical endoscopy system in China and is actively collaborating with biologists to discover new science. I was encouraged by her to pursue my PhD in the United States, which would be a life-changing experience for me.
Researchers @mpicbg, #mpipks & at the Center for Systems Biology Dresden show that mechanical structures within tubules that transport bile fluid could protect the whole tubular network against elevated pressure.

Are you interested in cell adhesion, mechanobiology, cell signaling, morphogenesis or their relevance to development and disease? The 2023 Cell Contact and Adhesion Gordon Conference
is coming up June25-30 1/6
https://www.grc.org/cell-contact-and-adhesion-conference/2023/
New paper from the Zerial Lab!
My colleagues and I have shown that apical projections across the bile canaliculi are load-bearing structures. These structures contribute to sustaining the anisotropic #growth of the nascent tube under increased intraluminal #pressure during #liver #development. These structures are supported by adherens #junctions and sealed by tight junctions.
I believe only @nunopmartins is here but if I am mistaken please tag any other author.

Hi #ScienceMastodon, time for an #introduction!
I'm an #EvoDevo biologist interested in how tissue #mechanics influences the #evolution of #morphogenesis. I study a deep and mysterious epithelial invagination that forms at the head-trunk boundary of #flies during #gastrulation, known as the #CephalicFurrow (see video below!). Currently, based in Germany as a postdoc in the Tomancak Lab at MPI-CBG. Looking forward to meeting you!
Interesting #preprint with a far-reaching conclusion: away from cell adhesions, #membrane-to-cortex attachment can regulate the #mechanics of #cells by changing the space available for #actin binders.
I had a very interesting discussion about #human #evolution with Jack, a 9-year-old from the UK. He has surprisingly tricky questions and a refreshing perspective.
In this exchange, we discussed #biology , #development , #crispr , #genetherapy , and some principles of #evolution .
He's doing a #podcast about #future perspectives in various fields, you can find it here:

Together with the Zechner lab we have pushed live-cell quantitative lipid biochemistry to the single cell level. It works - but some lipids are weird. 🤓

If you're hearing a lot about the fediverse these days, you should know: Mastodon is not the whole fediverse and the fediverse is not simply a Twitter replacement. The fediverse is an entire ecosystem, built on something called ActivityPub. Learn more: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/leaving-twitters-walled-garden
Hello everyone,
After digging a bit on Mastodon for the 1st time, I guess it’s time for a little #science #introduction.
I’m a postdoc at the #IBDM, where I am studying the effect of #oncogenes overexpressed in #hepatocellularcarcinoma.
Passionate by #CellBiology and #Cellcommunication, I studied #adhesivesmolecules function in #cellmigration and #cellinvasion in #pancreaticcancer during my PhD.
Always happy to discuss about #Actin #Cytoskeleton, #ECM remodelling & so many others things 🙃
Applications for the Embryology Course at the MBL Woods Hole are open! If you or someone you know wants to learn Developmental Biology from very cool people and get your hands on over 100 species (from sponges, jellyfishes, small worms, big worms, through fishes, frogs, chicken, or mice), apply! Scholarships are always available, lodging and food included. If you have any Q about it, reach out to me #DevBio #DevBiol #Embryology #Microscopy #CellBio #BlackInBio #FirstGen

Biologist currently working at the Curie Institute.
I just finished my PhD on liver development and cell polarity in mice and recently started a post-doc on fly morphogenesis.
I'm mainly interested in microscopy, image analysis, biophysics and developmental biology.
