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...

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

@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

Wake up y’all, Barbodes klapanunggalensis just dropped. 🐟🌎🧪🎣 zookeys.pensoft.net/article/1359...

Our paper on zebrafish phenotypes in Alzheimer’s risk genes finally is now in its final form at Elife!

I am excited to finally be able to share with you our work reporting the first Extracellular Vesicle with a personality! This video does not show a cell, it is a Blebbisome! #CellBiology www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our NCIS facility and Nikon Center of Excellence for Neuro-nanoimaging is on Bluesky! Follow @ncis-marseille.bsky.social for your stunning images and microscopy news fix by @bertrandvernay.bsky.social and me

This is an image of a living zebrafish embryo with the heart visible, labelled with fluorescent proteins and taken using confocal #microscopy 🧪🔬 Image credits: Rashmi Priya and Srinivas Allanki

Want to improve engagement on your paper? Include it in the first post of your thread! The masses rarely read threads but will click on links (especially with a preview image). Your Altmetrics will thank me! #SciSky

For #FluorescenceFriday, microtubules (magenta) are shown with tau in a primary hippocampal neuron 🔬 #Neuroscience #Microscopy

Nerves and glomeruli in the developing kidney for this #FluorescenceFriday

We were pulling them through the ice today! First time ice fishing in Maryland. Good to get outside. 🎣

Happy #FluorescenceFriday to those who celebrate! Here's a beautiful quail neural tube and somites labelled for microtubules 🟠 and actin 🔵. Imaged by Power-RA Siew Zhuan Tan. #devbio 🧪🔬👩‍🔬

Actin and clathrin-coated pits are reassuringly found along the plasma membrane on the 3D-SIM stacks #realtimemicroscopy

Applications for our Quantitative Imaging: From Acquisition to Analysis 2025 course (Mar 24-Apr 8) are due on Jan 31! Come immerse yourself in microscopy and image analysis with me, @talleylambert.bsky.social, @bethcimini.bsky.social, @florianjug.bsky.social & Hunter Elliott! Please RT

In a great collaboration with @hummerlab.bsky.social and the Kräusslich lab: HIV capsid doesn't break at the NPC; instead, it cracks open the NPC itself! Details in Cell: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @mpibp.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social A thread below:

Stunning fluorescence and EM imaging makes for a powerfully short title: "Passage of the HIV capsid cracks the nuclear pore". Just out in @cellcellpress.bsky.social: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

A picture is worth a thousand words! Check how this start of amyloid fibrillation (cyan) in the vessel walls (dark blue) can lead to a 'leaky' blood-brain barrier. Accumulation of red blood cells (red) can compromise the function of these pyramidal neurons (orange). #NeuroCovid Markers in the ALT

An amazing #zebrafish research position opportunity with a great lab at NIH, check this out if you're on the job market!

#ZebrafishCareers 🇺🇸 (Lab Manager)

Great opportunity! Research position in the Sheppard Lab at the NIH in Bethesda. Zebrafish + imaging + lymphatic vessels = AWESOME! 🧪🔬🐟 careers.criver.com/job/Bethesda...

Our postdoc Julien Cicero just sent me this beautiful image of IPSC derived motor neurons and I had to share 😍😍😍

New UDS Writing Club post by postbac Matt Monaghan! Diving into the @schierlab.bsky.social's exciting preprint using weMERFISH to create 3D spatial atlases of #zebrafish gene expression & chromatin accessibility kwrogers-lab.org/uds-writing-...

Pure axonal Mayhem for this #FluorescenceFriday! growth, turn, collapse, stalling, retraction fibers...🧐⁉️ #Neuroscience #CellBiology #LiveImaging 🧪

Showing the SIM ropes to our new facility boss @bertrandvernay.bsky.social with nice baby neurons prepared by Florence! #realtimemicroscopy

Registration for the 19th International Zebrafish Conference is now open! Taking place in Madison, Wisconsin, USA from July 9-13. It will be the place to be for 2025 😎 Don't miss out! For more info, visit the conference website: www.izfs.org/education/19... #IZFC2025 #zebrafish #ZebrafishMeeting

Join me, @talleylambert.bsky.social, @bethcimini.bsky.social, @florianjug.bsky.social & Hunter Elliott for our two week CSHL course on microscopy & image analysis starting March 24, 2025! Applications are due 1/31/25. meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx...

#ZebrafishFunFacts: Contrary to popular belief, the process of embryo hatching does not signify the end of embryogenesis. According to ‘Stages of Embryonic Development of the Zebrafish’ by Kimmel et al. (1995), the best indicator is when the cleithrum forms (around 84 hours post fertilization). 🧪

🫀 Zebrafish protein unlocks dormant genes for mammalian heart repair. Our work published by @springer1842.bsky.social in Nature CVR uncovers how the protein HMGA1 could unlock mammalian heart repair. rdcu.be/d5owa #HeartHealth #Regeneration #Biomedicine #Cardiology

Big paper from @paigel.bsky.social in our lab: Sensory feedback is always crucial for proper development, right? Wrong! Crazier still, the motor system is the slowest part of a developing reflex circuit! Surprises abound in this bluetorial c’mon along…. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/19

#TIRFSIMThursday with a COS cell labeled for actin, clathrin and microtubules

This year marks 7 years since I relaunched Zebrafish Rock! (and 9 years since I came up with the idea). Looking forward to the many celebrations that everyone (including me) has this year! (1/2)

Merry Fishmas to all, and to all a good feeding! Thanks to all that are taking care of our fish this holiday season 🙏

Retinal Regeneration for Christmas Eve #SciArt #retina

Looking down at the head of a transgenic 17-day-old #zebrafish, blood vessels in magenta, lymphatic vessels in green. Extended depth of focus #WeinsteinLab 🧪🔬

For #FluorescenceFriday, tau (cyan) is shown along with microtubules in primary hippocampal neurons 🔬 #neuroscience #microscopy

We developed a microscopy-based technique🔬 to measure attachment of viruses #phages to host cells. 🦠 The paper was posted online today: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #phagesky #microsky

Come to Tokyo March 2026 for the limb conference! Honored to be sharing the keynote space with Cliff Tabin and Ken Poss.

Excited to announce I joined @prelights.bsky.social and wrote my first post for them! Looking forward to covering more cool science in the future.

Definitely not on-theme (again) for this week's #SundayFishSketch. This illustration of a Burbot took way longer than I care to admit, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out in the end.
