Ok, let's start this thing here with my favorite 3D animation connected to our recent paper on structure and interactions of beta cell primary cilia. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Still super ecited about cilia-axon contacts in the pancreas.

🪰 A team of researchers has unveiled the complete connectome of a male fruit fly central nervous system—a seamless map of all the neurons in the brain and nerve cord of a single male fruit fly and the millions of connections between them.

To me the most exciting part is the exploration. Finding new connections between cells and figuring out what role they play in signaling.

Andreas Müller @andimicroscopy.bsky.social · 14d

Thank you. That's a very good question. It definitely opens new lines of research. Next, we need to find out what these connections actually do and if they change in diabetes. Then we look for ways to restore their function.

Better ML for cryo-ET starts with better benchmarks.

We built a phantom cryo-ET dataset (~500 tomograms) + hosted a Kaggle challenge.

The result: community models beat expert tools.

Ctenophores possess a unique aboral organ that acts as a multisensory center, controlling complex behaviors. We’ve now created a ctenophore model integrated with our 3D volume EM data. Puts it into perspective.
