A funny mistake we made recently. We were animating some hormone metabolism and made the hormone molecules float freely in the cytoplasm. Then, right before the final animatic, we realized that the hormones we were working with were lipophilic. So...

It's the first video evidence of polar bears hunting and eating reindeer—something that had long been assumed, but never clearly seen.

As a person who participated in the protests that failed I have to say that these people better be ready to show up when this will really matter in 3,5 years from now. Show up, stand, and not go away.

As a biomedical illustrator, I don't like Tregs because you never know how to color-code them. Like, are they good? Are they bad? Are they immunity, or part of TME? Always complex color-coding decisions that end up in brown-ish green in 90% of cases.

This is so cool. Sperm whales are probably the most amaizing animals on Earth.

Have to admit, even brilliant Western actors are not very good in expressing what is called a "resting slavic face".

Replication fork in S-phase with and without functional E2F and cyclin/CDK complexes

It’s great when you get the chance to model a complete, functioning eukaryotic replication fork while working on a commercial project.

What a great reference for 3D modeling.

While I agree that the pups aren't true dire wolves, I still find this to be exciting and interesting news. I enjoyed working with the Colossal team on the short animations, which they featured on their website and in the video about the project.

Pluto is about to eclipse Sun, submerging most of Charon in darkness with only source of light being stars and glowing ring of Pluto's blue atmosphere.

I cried when I first listened to Khlyvnyuk singing this song. A man of amazing talent and courage. I was a fan of his band Boombox some 15 years ago. The Kiffness is ok, but I wouldn’t put it as the song released by him. He just rode the wave of the moment. The tragic and horrible moment.

I enjoy #FluorescenceFriday but don't have much to share because we aren’t microscopists. However, we tried to imitate fluorescence images in a couple of projects.

I wrote 15 different scripts in about a couple of weeks mostly on hematology, oncology, and NGS. That’s on top of managing several projects that are already in production. I’m exhausted and very much looking forward to holidays already.

OpenOrganelle is a repo of #CellBiology data, segmented from electron #microscopy at #HHMIJanelia by Aubrey Weigel and the CellMap team, the Saalfeld lab ( @herrsaalffeld.sky.social) and the Hess lab. Here's a macrophage cell, rendered with #Blender driven by neuVid (helpful for more than neurons).
