Stoked to share TWO preprints on mitochondrial pearling! πŸŽ‰ We uncover how spontaneous #mitochondria pearling drives #mtDNA nucleoid distribution (doi.org/10.1101/2024...), and @gavsturm.bsky.social et al. dissect the biophysics behind it (doi.org/10.1101/2024...). Details below! πŸ”¬πŸ§΅πŸ§ͺ

After 7 years and a lot of memories, I've finally decided to retire Zebrafish Rock! on social media. I really want to say it was always positive but I've had a tumultuous experience with the account. Those that make the community more toxic continue to be promoted to positions of power. 1/4

MBL scientists use skates and their embryos to study skeletal development. By shining a light through egg cases, scientists can watch the entire maturation process. Learn more about skates as a research organism here: bit.ly/3Rmvq3F πŸ“Ή Bioquest

Looks like an amazing venue!

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! These are cultured fibroblasts imaged on a confocal microscope by postdoc Christina Daly. She is trying to understand how cells grow long signaling filopodia called cytonemes. Examples are visible extending from the orange cell in the image. 🀩 πŸ§ͺ πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬

For #FluorescenceFriday I'm sharing the fantastic work of postdoc Sarah McLarnon! A follow up to our '23 Development paper where we asked: Does precise vascular patterning matter for function and what happens after ischemic injury? The results were surprising! journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....

😍 I just love timelapse movies. It’s unbelievable that all of this happens in such a tiny fly! These cells don’t just moveβ€”they shape the unique spiral structure of the πŸͺ° testis. Amazing post by @maikbischoff.bsky.social β€” proof that science is art!!

For today's #FluorescenceFriday I'm thrilled to share that ScienceAdvances was so nice to pick my picture as this week's featured image! It's actually a still of a video😊 Check out the paper to learn more science.org/doi/10.1126/... #cellbio #devbio #cellmigration #science Thank you @aaas.org

It’s a quill? A sea pen? Noβ€”it’s a gill filament! πŸͺΆπŸͺΈπŸŸ Under the microscope, this fish gill structure looks just like a sea pen. Fascinating how nature keeps circling back to the same shapes. Want to learn how gills develop? πŸ‘‰ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #FluorescenceFriday #Zebrafish

What a remarkable achievement. This guy is a true genius πŸͺ°πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬πŸ”¬ check out the beautiful illustrations and images. Congratulations!

FINALLY out in #Science Advances! πŸŽ‰ 3 years of hard work, a fantastic team β€” and I’m proud to be first and co-corresponding author! It's about Plexin signaling driving collective cell migration & organ sculpting. Check out the videos πŸ˜€ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #DevBio #CellBio #Microscopy

β€œThe fish is a frog... is a chicken... is a mouse." In the 1980s, Kimmel defined a crucial stage at the onset of gastrulation when the prospective organization of the entire embryonic body plan emerged. It placed #zebrafish in the context of vertebrate developmental biology. #ZebrafishFunFacts πŸ§ͺ

1) Branching morphogenesis is fundamental to animal development, shaping complex organs like lungs, kidneys, and vascular networks. Gills are another highly branched organ. Yet, the developmental processes behind gill formation in zebrafish remain poorly understood. #zebrafish #gills #microscopy
