Maik Bischoff

Congratulations @maikbischoff.bsky.social for this well-deserved honorable mention!

We have gathered a Spanish Developmental Biology starter pack for those interested! Join the conversation and ask us to add you if you are not there yet! #DevBio go.bsky.app/UuRjx89

We are very pleased to announce our joint meeting with the German @gfeev.bsky.social and the Dutch Developmental Biology Societies, which will take place in Potsdam from the 10-13th of March 2026. Registration is now open! www.uni-potsdam.de/en/gfe-meeti...

Confocal images of drosophila Proventriculus samples arranged in a flower shape

Flower-shaped mosaic of #Drosophila #proventriculus samples (the structure where the esophagus meets the midgut), showing the expression patterns of several Gal4 lines. The center image is a Z projection showing GFP+ expression around the esophagus. (Scale bar = 50 microns.)

Ink paintings of mitosis in drosophila embryos were a little too niche for the art festival crowd, but I know my Blooskies will love them #sciart 🧪🪰 www.etsy.com/shop/artolog...

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...

Fantastic!

For #FluorescenceFriday, RhoA (blue) and the actin cytoskeleton (magenta) are shown in a set of primary microglia 🔬 #Neuroscience #Microscopy

Yes :)

Big thanks to everyone who supported this journey!

One out of many reasons why gills fascinate me 🔬🧬

PS: A recent study showed that the outer ear cartilage shares gene regulatory programs with the gill filaments of fishes and amphibians — the gills program has been repurposed to create parts of the human ear 👂

The pericardium forms as a distinct structure during heart formation - Nature Communications The developing heart integrates several progenitor cell types. Here they show that the pericardium enveloping the heart develops among cells that form the mesothelium around inner organs and body cavities, distinct from the classic heart field.

Out @natcomms.nature.com:
our work on how the ❤️-supporting pericardium forms & acts in pediatric heart conditions.🎈🫀

Expanding our preprint & with our first HCR (thx to @thelovelylab.bsky.social!).

Intracellular mechanics and organelle mechanobiology Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary field that emerges at the cross-section of biology, physics and engineering. It aims to understand how living cells, tissues and animals sense and respond to me…

Announcing a new @embo.org Workshop on "Intracellular mechanics and organelle mechanobiology" that we are organizing with Michael Krieg and Verena Ruprecht at @icfo.eu (Barcelona) on 16-20 February, 2026. Please, repost and spread the word! 🙏 #EMBOmechanobio

Mechano-osmotic signals control chromatin state and fate transitions in pluripotent stem cells - Nature Cell Biology McCreery, Stubb et al. show that mechano-osmotic changes in the nucleus induce general transcriptional repression and prime chromatin for cell fate transitions by relieving repression of specific differentiation genes.

How do #stemcells integrate information to coordinate fate decisions? Delighted to finally see our work showing how growth factors regulate the mechano-osmotic state of the #nucleus and #chromatin to control #pluripotency exit out! www.nature.com/articles/s41... see 🧵 👇

So: can a cell hold hands with itself…and do we care? YES and YES! Read on to learn WHY, HOW, and what this has to do with…PARIS (and tree-hugging)? Swansong of Dr. Anamika; Hannah Kim on drums; and fantastic undergrads (Margaret/Lauren) ! 1/n

Good morning! #BiomembraneDays25 are already running with the first talk by Roland Wedlich- Söldner presenting fascinating insights into the lateral organization of the yeast plasma membrane.

BioImage analysis friends - King's are recruiting for a full-time, permanent facility position! Come and work with fun microscopes and fun people (and me!) - please share! www.kcl.ac.uk/jobs/126345-...

Here's my comment--join me. This would effectively remove foreign PhD students and postdocs from our labs. please share

H’okay; let’s try it here! We use swarm behaviors, bioelectricity, and biomaterials to herd living cells like sheepdogs and sheep. New site live: cohenlab.princeton.edu. I really want to more frequently share my amazing crew’s work ! Starting with an oldie vid—living Escher! More soon, for serious.

Must Watch! Daniel is such an outstanding story teller! 😊

SCHEPHERD--the bioelectric cell herding platform built for YOU. Single cells, monolayers, organoids--this herds them all + new tricks. Plz try it-- we will *give* you parts! Teaser here of a steering a single cell. GS Yubin Lin's lifeblood with J. Yodh on piano; Celeste R. and Paul K. Thread 1/N

I’m not sure as a community we **truely** acknowledged how powerful the #CellMigrationSeminarSeries series was at keeping us connected at such an uncertain time. Thank-you @ankita13jha.bsky.social @adamshellard.bsky.social @drjenmitchell.bsky.social & @simplythebex.bsky.social

That would be fantastic!

Cell Migration Seminars Cell Migration Seminars every Tuesday at 16:00 BST.

If anyone ever wants to brush up on a lot of cell migration concepts don't forget we have several wonderful scientists who have given talks previously in cell migration seminars. I find it so comforting to go look at old videos, maybe someone else who will do as well!!
