🧬🔬🧪 🎉 Our team at @czbiohub is thrilled to share TWO companion papers out today in @NatureMethods!
📦 Ultrack — robust, scalable nD cell tracking
🌐 inTRACKtive — a beautiful, open-source web viewer for lineage exploration
Let’s dive in! 👇

I’m happy to share some plugins I’ve been developping this summer: "Channels and Contrast" and LUTs Manager!
I can’t find new bugs and ideas by now so I need your help to please test them in your machines and report bugs, feedbacks and ideas! forum.image.sc/t/looking-fo...

Sea urchin metamorphosis is maybe one of the most radical event in developmental biology. In just about an hour, these little pluteus larvae completely reorganize their entire body plan.

Very happy that this video got awarded an honorable mention by #NikonSmallWorld 😃

”Please inhibit responsibly: Natural and synthetic actin toxins as useful tools in cell biology”

I had a lot of fun going down different actin inhibitor rabbit holes with @onishilab.bsky.social on this perspective!

Researchers have filmed thousands of climbing catfish scaling waterfalls, providing a rare insight into the daring migration of an enigmatic fish.

Are different cell types like oil and water? Over a century ago, researchers found that dissociated sponges and embryonic tissues can self-assemble into functional structures. Join me, @benswedlund.bsky.social to explore the differential adhesion hypothesis & its applications in tissue engineering!

¡Qué lindo!

Every bit of this south wall in the #MarDelPlataCanyon is vibrant and alive. Read and imagine how a tiny sponge larva or other stationary animal finds a home in a place like this: www.instagram.com/reel/DN37jxs...

La luna terminando su jornada con una sonrisa, sobre el Cerro de Montevideo

The area has sandy bottoms and possibly a "pockmark"-shaped depression, where chemosymbiotic fauna could coexist
due to the high concentration of organic matter or low oxygen levels. There may be some light, but not enough for us to see it or for photosynthesis

Est. 1 Cañón Río de la Plata | SOI Divestream 827 YouTube video by Schmidt Ocean

www.youtube.com/live/YHqXaKN... The first dive of the expedition in Uruguay! Located in the southernmost part of the study area, in subantarctic waters, 280 km (151 mn) southeast of Montevideo, 217 km (117 mn) from Punta del Este, at a depth of 143 m, on a gently sloping external shelf.

Mechanical conditions preventing live cell extrusion during primary neurulation in amniotes During primary neurulation in amniote embryos, the neural plate gives rise to the neural tube in a process requiring the coordination of forces at different scales throughout a geometrically complex t...

Preprint alert! Just from the oven, the adventures of a young theoretical biophysicist (Santi Bosch) in a usually strictly wet lab (BCDN): how is it that extreme forces in amniotes primary neurulation do not break the highly dynamic neuroepithelium apart?

Could you please add me to the list? Thanks!

Trying to get in touch with color blind folks (red-green) for a quick question related to a project I’m working on.
Ideally in biology/medicine, but others are very welcome too!
Anyone around?

We've just been awarded a grant to study the cellular basis of regeneration – to track the progenitors of sensory organs in the context of leg regeneration, in our favourite crustacean tinyurl.com/parhyale, based on live imaging and cell tracking. The project involves some cool collaborations... 1/3

Compartimos una nueva oportunidad laboral para trabajar en el instituto.

El Dpto. de Neurofisiología Celular y Molecular llama a postulantes para un contrato de investigación en el marco de un proyecto financiado por Wings for Life.

Congrats to Cyril on this very cool first, first author publication 🏆! This started when he was a bachelor's student (and he's now completing his masters!).

And many thanks to my other awesome co-authors🙏

Here is Earth's rotation realized in an unusual way: using a camera scanning the landscape of Tivoli, Namibia, Bartosz Wojczyński focused on the sky.

He created a timelapse spanning 24 h that has a focal point in the sky rather than on the ground.
