Have you always wondered how microvilli form? Where DOES that actin come from to form the core bundle? Come to the #BuildingTheCell (Part 1) subgroup tomorrow morning at 8:45 to find out! Room 29C. #CellBio2025

Of course! These are LLC-PK1(CL4) cells expressing an actin marker.

Admittedly, this is a reversed movie of #microvilli collapsing, but how cool would it be if growth were synchronized like this? #FluorescenceFriday

I'm excited to rebuild this #science community over here on Bluesky! In honor of this clean slate, here's a repost of my favorite #epithelial cell building its brush border. @tyskalabactual.bsky.social
