The #goodnews for today is that #coral larvae stop their #cilia and contract, when the light goes off. How nice! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.06.636794v1 #biology #marine #larva

New preprint from Rebecca's PhD! did you know that the ciliary band metachronal wave in #Platynereis is a series of tiny waves within each multiciliated cell! What happens if you ablate some cilia?? 🌊😱 Cool #cilia collab w/ @jekely.biologists.social.ap.brid.gy! Revealed here doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Nice! I particularly enjoyed this one from the same collection (specialcollectionsarchive.exeter.ac.uk/collections/...), with the typo in the caption: "T. olor is now Lacrymaria olor Müller, a ciliated protest." (also featuring a desmid and a rotifer)

While I love the recent Bluesky rally, I also want to remind everyone that Mastodon is the only properly decentralized, billionaire-proof and VC-free social media for now. I get that most people couldn't care less about protocols, but if you do, I recommend maintaining a presence there :)
