Exciting Master's Thesis Opportunity: The mTox Group at the @ufz.de in Leipzig is looking for a master’s student to learn and apply high-content fluorescence imaging of zebrafish larvae. For more information on the project and to apply please follow this link: bit.ly/3VVsZKT

The image shows the head of a transgenic zebrafish larva at 5dpf that has dopaminergic neurons labelled in GFP (cyan colour).

In our latest preprint we show that Lifeact::mKate2 can reverse the chirality of active torques in the actomyosin cortex. This results in cortical flows with opposite handedness during left-right symmetry breaking, leading to the formation of situs inversus worms. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
