Visualising hyphal networks to explore fungal cellular biology.
#Mycorrhiza #Microscopy
Reflecting on an amazing week at #iMMM2025 in Munich. This was my first iMMM conference. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience to attend with my research group, and as someone working in mycorrhizal research. 🧵 (1/4)

Excited to share that the first article of my PhD was published today in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We dive into the complex cellular biology of AM fungi and include microscopy from our lab.

Cellular anatomy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Cargill et al. review the unique cellular arrangement in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that enables complex cytoplasmic flow and nutrient exchange processes across their open-pipe mycelial networks.
