It's #FluorescenceFriday , while the original image of cancer cells interacting by cytonemes is already great. I had a little fun with some filters!

Me, first day back in the office responding to emails after the holiday break. Work is really cutting into my nap routine.

A great end of term presentation by co-op student Christina Bernados, followed by lab lunch to celebrate! We're looking forward to having you back this summer, to keep investgating cytonemes and Notch signaling!

The FPbase spectra viewer just had it's biggest software refactor in 6 years. It *should* be largely invisible to the end user (hopefully just faster and less buggy). Please let me know if you find any issues as you use it!

[stands up soapbox] I know AI has its benefits, but the current general implementations of LLMs is breaking referencing and reviews in research, and I hate it! 😫 Not to mention the internet as a whole. Kurzgesagt, again gives a great example of the problem.

I still can't get over how cool cells can be reaching out and interacting with one another! This depth shaded membrane marker gives us an idea of how dynamic these extensions can be! #FluorescenceFriday 🔬🧪

Hey 🧪🔬🧑🔬Does anyone have an opinion on a preferred vibratome for tissue sectioning?
I'm looking at options. I've used several Leica models in the past, all great, but other companies seem to be great for the price.
