Take a break from doom-scrolling and watch this cool membrane animation!

1/4 Our @biorxivpreprint, 'Origin of Ewing Sarcoma by Embryonic Reprogramming of Neural Crest to Mesoderm' is now available on bioRxiv! In this study, we explore the enigmatic origin of Ewing sarcoma using our zebrafish genetic cancer models. We revealed that neural crest cells can uniquely tolerate EWSR1::FLI1 expression, leading to tumor formation in vivo. A big thanks to our collaborators @clairearataphd and @CrumpLab for this adventurous journey! #NeuralCrest #cancer #EwingSarcoma #zebrafish @amatrudalab @ChildrensLA @biorxiv_cancer👉biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

PI3K dependent rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton following the addition of Class I PAK kinase-inhibitor. Please read about it in our pre-print!

@matt_eroglu @OdedRechavi @NatureCellBio Beautiful!

Delighted that our image was selected as cover for the October issue of @NatureCellBio

It's #MicroscopyMonday, so let's take a look into the 🔬 with this @NikonSmallWorld image of an adult transgenic zebrafish head. Blood vessels (blue), lymphatic vessels (yellow), and the skin and scales (magenta). 4x magnification Credit: Daniel Castranova and Brant Weinstein

@abhinav_sur @NICHD_NIH Totally awesome 😎

🚨At long last, I am thrilled and humbled to announce that my K99/R00 proposal have been funded by @NICHD_NIH to study the newly discovered intestinal best4+ cells using zebrafish as a model. It was unbelievable to have received an impact score of 12 on my first try 🎉🎉

@alon_douek @ZebrafishRock 💯

@dancastranova @ZebrafishRock Nor do I but it definitely makes for some nice pics 😂

@alon_douek @ZebrafishRock Awesome! Yeah, I don’t study the eye, but the lens is very cool!

@ZebrafishRock @dancastranova Stunning! Great to see those little circular structures, I see them when using MitoTracker so probably something quite cool going on there between mitochondria and the cytoskeleton 🤔

“Chronic disease”? After we debunked MMR-autism links he went to thimerosal; when that fell he went to overwhelming the immune system; next alum; then infertility; out of desperation he made up chronic disease, even he doesn’t know what that is. It’s all fake pseudoscience.

We are very excited to announce the Inaugural Quantitative Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (QFLIM) workshop at NIH in Bethesda co-organized by Jay Knutson (NIH) and Chris Combs (NIH), on November 7th, 2024. The Inaugural QFLIM Symposium will be held on the campus of NIH in Building 10, Masur Auditorium. FLIM is a rapidly growing technique in microscopy that provides unique and robust information about metabolic state, analyte concentrations, nanoscopic probe flexibility and environments and molecular proximity; it has wide applicability in cell biology and pathology. In this first year, a group of local and international speakers will showcase a variety of applications while discussing the advances made possible by the latest instruments. The QFLIM symposium will be a one day event (this year) and we are expecting ~150 academic attendees. Attendance will be capped. Confirmed speakers (with more tbd); Chiara Stringari (Keynote) Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, Paris David Jameson Department of Cell and Molecular Biology , John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Ammasi Periasamy Keck Institute, University of Virginia Melissa Skala Morgridge Inst., University of Wisconsin - Madison Alexandra Walsh BME dept., Texas A&M Steve Vogel NIAAA Luke Lavis Janelia Farms, HHMI Hailey Parry NHLBI Rozhin Penjweini NHLBI/LAMB Walter Philip Bleicher NHLBI Kandice Tanner NCI There will be a poster session and a dedicated vendor session. There will also be time for vendor lightning talks. The tentatively, truncated, meeting schedule; 8:15a Registration and breakfast 9a Opening Remarks 9:15a-6:30p Talks, and everything else! There will be vendor tables available. Registration will be open by September 1st. We hope to see you soon!

@MadS100tist AWESOME!!
