My little brain organoid is in a contest. If you find it pretty, you can vote for it 🤍
Go look at the other images too, they’re stunning!

⚠️ Discovery of a new mode of viral transmission:
Deltaviruses spread through a viral Trojan Horse !
These viral satellites that do not encode their own glycoproteins, are in fact physically encapsulated within their helper virus particles!

Micro-rearrangement of DNA and proteins is a highly dynamic process!
As shown here with cell nucleus (DNA in gray) expressing a fluorescent protein (orange).
1 image acquired every 2 seconds for 2 minutes.

New cell line = New cell morphologies to explore!
This hepatic cell line has fully invested into membrane protrusions!

The Team moved from the 24th letter of the alphabet to Bluesky. Team's news will be here from now on 😁
One of my favourite images: monocytes 💙 infiltrating a little brain organoid, with post-synaptic protein PSD95 ❤️ and nuclei 🤍 visualized

Voting is open in our image competition with @the-node.bsky.social.
Thanks to everyone that entered, and congratulations to our final 15. Now it's your turn to pick your favourite!
Look out for our gallery of images at the Biologists @ 100 conference #biologists100.

I also have a few examples of my own… as a #FirstGen student, I started with a technical training. during my first intership, a postdoc asked me what I wanted to do afterwards and when I said pursuing my studies and do a PhD, the reply was ‘oh, but you’d need to be clever for that… didn’t you know?´
Don't forget to register and submit your abstract for #NSV2025 in Montpellier! The abstract submission/registration system on the website will CLOSE Friday, April 11, 2025.

Unique opportunity to join the CytoMorpho Lab (in Paris ❤️) as a postdoc to work on the self-organization and polarization of reconstituted networks made of microtubules, motors and actin filaments in vitro. Experience required.
Please Repost 🙏 thanks !
My favorite thing about the @standupforscience.bsky.social map is that the French people obviously maintain their solidarity and know the history of our joint venture in revolution. Those in power in the U.S. would have us forget this, but I ’ll be Santa Fe tomorrow, how’s about you?
Proteins can do weird things sometimes...!
Anyone else heard of cytoophidia? A cool and understudied cell biology process!
In red is a mutant of an antiviral protein, in cyan is an influenza A virus protein and in yellow are cell nuclei.

Primary monocytes (monocytic Occludin is 💙) transmigrating across the brain endothelium (F-actin is 🧡). Nuclei are 🤍

3 years ago today we witnessed an act of war, shocking us all and changing the world we live in.
Over 3 years, we have seen support, people and countries uniting against this abhorrence.
Today, USA sided with Russia, refusing the UN's condemnation.
This #MicroscopyMonday we #StandWithUkraine
Dark neon vibes from this one..!

Happy #ValentinesDay / #FluorescenceFriday everyone!! :)
Thank you 🫶🏻
Oh thank you so much ☺️
When you don't know what to post, just post some phalloidin ❤️ staining of a brain organoid.
Happy Valentine's and #FluorescenceFriday to you!

Thank you Nathalie 🫶🏻 For me it’s true that the most inspiring women are around (family, friends, mentors, colleagues) 🤍
Meet me 😁
