- Reposted by Kevin TerretazHappy #FluorescenceFriday! This micrograph of SHH-expressing cells in the developing 🐭 spinal cord are giving aurora borealis vibes 🌄. Notice the thin extensions reaching out from the cells at the top of the image - signaling protrusions! 🔬 by 👩🔬 @christinaadaly.bsky.social

- Reposted by Kevin TerretazReally excited to share our new paper in @nature.com! We uncovered how a physical instability of the cytoplasm coupled with the cell cycle drives cytoplasmic partitioning in early embryos #zebrafish #drosophila.

View full threadReposted by Kevin TerretazThis poses an intriguing question: how is cytoplasm robustly and accurately organized in absence of physical barriers, and how is cytoplasmic partitioning achieved within the constrained time window of rapid embryonic divisions? (2/9)

- Reposted by Kevin Terretaznph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/JAIVZX... Excited to share my latest work in @newphyt.bsky.social. Here, we used TurboID proximity labeling with CLAVATA receptors FEA3 and BAM1D in maize meristems to better understand the signaling pathways important for meristem regulation. #PlantScience
- Version 1.5 is live in the Image_Viewer update site 😁 Visible changes are expained there : forum.image.sc/t/looking-fo... enjoy!
- My new ImageJ / Fiji toolkit is out 🔥! The goal is to make image handling & visualization easy, with an intuitive interface! Install it on Fiji with the "Image Viewer" update site #microscopy #ImageJ #FluorescenceFriday #microscopyMonday imagej.net/plugins/imag...
- Reposted by Kevin TerretazA few seconds of eternity: From microscope to museum❣️ It was truly delightful to be part of this project, celebrating life as a continuous dance of creation, collapse, and renewal. 🔄 Kudos to @manuelthery.bsky.social @lblanchoin.bsky.social #cytomorpholab members, and @museeorsay.bsky.social

We found that this collective behavior, known as rippling, is nothing but surface waves on an active nematic. @princeton.edu @mpipks.bsky.social @ub.edu @icreacommunity.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
