Hi #ScienceMastodon. @focalplane_jcs is your #microscopy community site hosted by @J_Cell_Sci & @Co_Biologists, connecting people, resources & info.
Anyone can contribute on https://focalplane.biologists.com. We’ll be tooting the latest news & posts from the #community. You can also join and use the FocalPlane Network to make new connections.

We’ve just moved over to our own instance @biologists.social, & hope that you’ll join us there for friendly chats between biologists!

📢 Check out our latest preprints list!
This week we focus on research that applies microscopy to biological questions: https://focalplane.biologists.com/2024/04/19/microscopy-preprints-applications-in-biology-6/

For #CellMigration lovers
How do cells decide when facing a symmetric junction?
The membrane oscillates exploring both directions until one arm wins.
TLDR: this depends on the actin cytoskeleton & cancer cells decide faster than healthy cells

#MayThe4th & #CellMigration

#DarthVader cell using the force to choke another one (arrow/red nucleus) until...well, wait for it to see it in slow motion
Only the sound is missing to be like #StarWars

For the long weekend.

#Mitochondria, powerhouse of the #cell were labeled (cyan) and it's possible to visualize how they reach every corner.

All recorded under the microscope by @KuxJohan & @Marie_Adler23 @cellcommlab

Last week @Martina_Alamo_R finished her internship @ the @cellcommlab, and left Hamburg.
Now she is back home @LabYuseff 🇨🇱 to finish her #PhD thesis.
Good luck Marti, we already miss you (and your experiments of 300 coverslips 😅 support pic 👇🏼)

#Mechanobiology be like:

Hi tweeps do you know any free/good/fast/easy to use screen recorder?

We were using https://www.freescreenrecording.com/ before they decided to mess up everything and ask for money.

With @JBoixCampos we tried several others but nothing worked like that one...

#askingforafriend

Unboxing Monday.
First things to install @FijiSc @ilastik_team @CellProfiler.
To better analyse cell shape, #cellmigration and much more.

Here the result of the 1st test

#ExSRRF, a new pipeline that allows to reach 25 nm resolution using widefield #microscopy
(useful for #cellbio, #ER_literature, clinics & more)

Tks for the invitation, @PuellesVictor, happy that @cellcommlab we could help you w this neat work

Hi tweeps, is it possible to create an image with a sliding bar using @FijiSc ?
(If not, which tool do you use?)

I mean images like this beautiful one from @Abberior
https://abberior.rocks/superresolution-confocal-systems/stedycon/
Maybe I can get a hint from @HenriquesLab @christlet

Nematics of collective cell migration @ #monetsgarden, wait for it.

We could say #monematics ...

Hot from the press @CurrentBiology

Competition between chemoattractants causes unexpected complexity and can explain negative chemotaxis, by A Dowdell, et al @robinsall lab.

Great story for #CellMigration lovers

Whenever possible we'll try to be there, as today with @KuxJohan, @LpzLpz_Tami and @JBoixCampos 👊🏼

It was not only my impression/bias😉
Today @Marie_Adler23 got the best talk of her MSc generation/cohort @unihh
Every success and #SciWin will be always celebrated in the @cellcommlab

(I thought being proud had reached plateau, well no, there was some more left😉. Proud #NewPI)
