Flower-shaped mosaic of #Drosophila #proventriculus samples (the structure where the esophagus meets the midgut), showing the expression patterns of several Gal4 lines. The center image is a Z projection showing GFP+ expression around the esophagus. (Scale bar = 50 microns.)

Ink paintings of mitosis in drosophila embryos were a little too niche for the art festival crowd, but I know my Blooskies will love them #sciart 🧪🪰 www.etsy.com/shop/artolog...

I’m happy to share some plugins I’ve been developping this summer: "Channels and Contrast" and LUTs Manager!
I can’t find new bugs and ideas by now so I need your help to please test them in your machines and report bugs, feedbacks and ideas! forum.image.sc/t/looking-fo...

One out of many reasons why gills fascinate me 🔬🧬

PS: A recent study showed that the outer ear cartilage shares gene regulatory programs with the gill filaments of fishes and amphibians — the gills program has been repurposed to create parts of the human ear 👂

The pericardium forms as a distinct structure during heart formation - Nature Communications

The developing heart integrates several progenitor cell types. Here they show that the pericardium enveloping the heart develops among cells that form the mesothelium around inner organs and body cavities, distinct from the classic heart field.

Intracellular mechanics and organelle mechanobiology

Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary field that emerges at the cross-section of biology, physics and engineering. It aims to understand how living cells, tissues and animals sense and respond to me…

How do #stemcells integrate information to coordinate fate decisions? Delighted to finally see our work showing how growth factors regulate the mechano-osmotic state of the #nucleus and #chromatin to control #pluripotency exit out! www.nature.com/articles/s41... see 🧵 👇

Mechano-osmotic signals control chromatin state and fate transitions in pluripotent stem cells - Nature Cell Biology

McCreery, Stubb et al. show that mechano-osmotic changes in the nucleus induce general transcriptional repression and prime chromatin for cell fate transitions by relieving repression of specific differentiation genes.

H’okay; let’s try it here! We use swarm behaviors, bioelectricity, and biomaterials to herd living cells like sheepdogs and sheep. New site live: cohenlab.princeton.edu. I really want to more frequently share my amazing crew’s work ! Starting with an oldie vid—living Escher! More soon, for serious.
