Images cells live. Sometimes makes them dead and images that too. All things 4D imaging, malaria, microscopy, analysis etc. etc. 🔬🧬🦠

napari‐lattice: A user‐friendly image processing tool for lattice light‐sheet microscopy data
Lattice light-sheet microscopy (LLSM) enables researchers to capture high-speed 3D videos of living cells with high definition and minimal damage. However, this technology generates terabytes of data....

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵
mitochondria from bipolar patients are closer to the nucleus in these images; control patients' are spread out further

#FluorescenceFriday - Today we have got a 10X expanded Toxoplasma Gondii with labelled microtubules. The unexpanded length of the parasite is equivalent to the width of the bright conoid up top. 2 daughter parasites are formed through endodogeny. A pregnant parasite dangerous to pregnant humans.

Naarm Melb folks - if it's too hot to stay home check with your local Council. I see on Facebook Moonee Valley are opening a couple of libraries which are usually closed on Sundays as cool spaces. Other Councils will be too. 🥵

What have I been doing between Christmas and New Year? Re-building a 35 year old Lego pirate ship. It took 3 days to find all the pieces in the giant box of Lego at my parents house - they've kept all the Lego my brother and I collected as kids.
Two masted Lego pirate ship with red and white striped sails. In front of it is a little Lego dingy with a pirate rowing it. The ship has a brown hull with black, white and yellow trim.

Interesting piece in the Sunday Age (from yesterday - I just found it in a coffee shop) on ranking inner Melbourne Councils by heat risk - which isn't new at all. What I haven't seen before is instead of referring to Cities as hotter they called them 'sweatier'. I live in a sweaty city.

#Fluorescencefriday When malaria parasites get back from human to mosquito, they undergo a rapid transformation to enable the formation of a fertilised zygote. Below are male parasite which form 8 individual gametes (the wiggly ones) in 15 minutes!! One nucleus becomes 8 in some rapid rapid biology!
