A pair of COS cells, one in interphase and one in mitosis for
#FluorescenceFriday. Tricky 4-channel overlay made possible by @kwolbachia.bsky.social LUTs! Microtubules 🟣 vimentin 🟢 mitochondria 🟠 clathrin 🔵, deconvolved Apotome.

Behold, microtubules! 🤩 eGFP-tubulin expressing HeLa cells for this #microscopymonday @zaniclab.bsky.social

Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space !
Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns.

Microtubules for the win!

Pretty sure there is nothing more mesmerizing than microtubule gliding assays 🤩 #kinesingliding @zaniclab.bsky.social
