The cell looks like Inkay Pokémon🔬 — yellow glowing arms, pink heart. Under attack by cyan bacteria🦠, but it’s just vibing on the glass, dancing🪩, unaware of the aftermath☠️. #FluorescenceFriday #Microscopy #CellBiology #mechanobiology @pasteuredu.bsky.social #hostpathogeninteraction @pasteur.fr

Why wait for #FluorescenceFriday if you can have a neat #zebrafish right now. (pic credit Amanda Garfield @cudevbio.bsky.social) #devbio

Two great new #Zebrafish preprints from the #WeinsteinLab using a new transgenic that reports epigenetic silencing and activation! Great to study epigenetic changes in vertebrates, and we even did an ENU screen. Excellent work by @mmarvel.bsky.social et al. 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Have you noticed the rotating header images on our site? They're winners of a competition we ran in 2021. Thank you @gaparicio.bsky.social @rorylcooper.bsky.social @zebrafish007.bsky.social @ebardot.bsky.social & Markus Schliffka for the images! Give us a visit: thenode.biologists.com

In this very cool 1-2 punch from the Weinstein lab, start by reading Miranda & co’s awesome pre-print about a novel epigenetic reporter and follow it up with @jimmykjm.bsky.social’s pre-print using it to characterize epigenetic reprogramming during fin regeneration: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hiding in plain sight: A new lymphoid organ discovered in #zebrafish. Mohamed Bakr and David Langenau discuss new work from @zebrafish007.bsky.social @zebrafishmk.bsky.social and colleagues (rupress.org/jem/article/...) in Insights: rupress.org/jem/article/...

#CellMigration 𝐢𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐨! Excited to share this video on #FluorescenceFriday 🌈 Today as a GIF to circumvent video compression 😅! Migratory Nascent Myotubes on #Drosophila Testes. Marker: Lifeact-eGFP. Scope: 980 Airyscan (@zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social) #cellbio #sciart #devbio #science #microscopy

Very cool story, check it out! 👇

Look familiar? This beautiful video of #zebrafish embryogenesis was used for a 'one-frame per page' flipbook in the December 1996 edition of @dev-journal.bsky.social. Credit to Rolf Karlstrom and Don Kane. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

The KIT - European Zebrafish Resource Center (EZRC) www.ezrc.kit.edu now has an account on #Bluesky! Follow us to learn more!!!!!!

Happy to share a new preprint from my lab! We characterize the on/off kinetics, light dosage-dependence, and more for a suite of optogenetic signaling activators in zebrafish embryos 💡 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great new work led by @biomarina-vg.bsky.social on zebrafish meninges! Particularly 🤩 is the descriptions of ependymin-expressing meningeal cells (not a fibroblast!) & ablation studies showing their essential role in viability. So much more to learn! Congrats Marina & team on this great work! 🦓🐟🧠

Very happy and excited to share our latest work linking actin nematodynamics and endothelial cell mechanics under anisotropic tension, now published in @natphys.nature.com ! rdcu.be/eigWi @ipparis.bsky.social @polytechniqueparis.bsky.social

Bakr and Langenau discuss new work from @zebrafish007.bsky.social @zebrafishmk.bsky.social et al. (rupress.org/jem/article/...) that describes a new secondary lymphoid organ found in #zebrafish, which likely facilitates interactions between T, B, and macrophage cells rupress.org/jem/article/...

@zebrafish007.bsky.social, @zebrafishmk.bsky.social et al. #WeinsteinLab describe a previously uncharacterized external, experimentally accessible secondary lymphoid organ in the #zebrafish located above the pectoral fin. rupress.org/jem/article/...

I am happy to share a paper that is finally accepted after (way too many) rounds of revision: Further insights into regulatory evolution: we identified >600 miRNAs in cavefish putatively contributing to cave adaptation. Great work by Tatha Biswas! nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Our lab at the NIH (Bethesda, MD) is looking for postdoctoral fellows to join our team studying the molecular mechanisms of protein trafficking and their links to neurodevelopmental disorders starting on or after 10-1-2025. Send your application to [email protected]. Please share and repost!

#ZebrafishCareers with @julienresseguier.bsky.social 🇩🇰

I’m ashamed to be so late after requesting this theme! My postage stamp #SundayFishSketch is in honor of archerfish and their perfect aim!

Finally out! Brittney Voigt et al show the shared role of Inppl1a expansion of notochord vacuolated cells and also for hypertrophy of chondorcytes and bone lengthening. @currentbiology.bsky.social www.cell.com/current-biol...

Here is a short video about our lates work describing an external immune organ in the #zebrafish recently published in @jem.org #WeinsteinLab 🧪🔬 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jECh...

“We report a novel imaging technique using a recently developed clearing reagent called LUCID that makes it possible to capture the complete cellular-resolution 3D structures of larval and juvenile zebrafish.” New work from Weinstein Lab at NIH 🐟

We recently described the Axillary Lymphoid Organ (ALO) in the #Zebrafish. It's on the OUTSIDE of the fish, making it great for imaging! Learn more by checking out our paper in @jem.org rupress.org/jem/article-...

Excited to see our work describing an external immune organ in the #zebrafish published in JEM! Big thanks to Aurora Kraus and @zebrafishmk.bsky.social and all of our other amazing collaborators including @edanfoley.bsky.social @biomarina-vg.bsky.social #WeinsteinLab rupress.org/jem/article-... 🧪

Congratulations!! Well deserved!!

Danio derives from the Bengali word “Dhani,” which translates to “of the rice fields.” #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

We got the cover of Nature Eco Evo for our anglerfish study!! Shoutout to our graduate student HoWan Chan for the slick image. Read to study here www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@john-haug.bsky.social and I are getting ready to announce a DIY, open-source light-sheet microscope designed for high-resolution, sub-cellular imaging. Here is one sneak peak of some raw data! #COMPASS
