The image shows a massive Boa Constrictor cell culture syncytium with cell membranes in gold, microtubules in cyan and nuclei in grey:) #sciart 211410

Before Biorender, all we had was MS Paint and a dream. But ovals, lines, and lightning bolts were all we needed Morales-Botello et al., 2012 515845

Reposted by Benjamin GrädelManuel Thery @manuelthery.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space ! Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns. #morphogenesis doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Reposted by Benjamin GrädelMichael Riedl @mriedl.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Polymerizing actin creates fireworks that are a sight to behold. This excitable medium produces polymerizing waves similar to those observed in other context. The parallels I tried to lay out in this perspective piece last year: tinyurl.com/53cbxm4v (LifeAct-GFP in Endothelial Cell) 18719
