πŸ˜‚ yes!! It fulfilled all my curiosity about smell since I momentarily lost it during COVID and wanted to understand better what was going on in there haha

1/14 β€œEpithelial” & β€œMesenchymal” aren’t binary categoriesβ€”they form a spectrum, or better yet, a multidimensional space. This becomes especially clear in collective cell migration, which often depends on a finely tuned degree of β€œmesenchymal-ness”.

A membrane proximal actin probe (MPAct) in fly macrophages unveils an actin cortex interconnected with the lamellar network. The homeostatic balance of these two actin networks is coordinated by the cortical-regulator, Moesin. Amazing work from @besaizsanchez.bsky.social and team.

For anyone interested in #extracellularmatrix. From fundamental questions in #DevBio to alterations in disease using interdisciplinary approaches across model organisms. And in an amazing research environment in Manchester (with some occasional fun in London πŸ˜€)!

How to resist the tech overlords Big tech has now made its position clear. It is on the far-right. Here's what happens next.

The dream of technology is now under the control of men who are vain, foolish, self-centred, amoral, desperate for power, and in some cases openly fascistic. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-res...

Human embryo editing against disease is unsafe and unproven β€” despite rosy predictions | Nature Mathematical modelling suggests that it is theoretically possible to reduce risk of common diseases using heritable genome editing. Scientists argue that the technology involves considerable risk and uncertain benefits. Pitfalls of heritable genome editing undermine theoretical benefits.

Macrophage Salsa
Macrophage Salsa YouTube video by Eduardo Serna Morales

For my first post I want to revive a video that I made some years ago during my PhD at the Stramer lab.

Fruit fly macrophages dancing to the rhythm of Cuban salsa πŸ’ƒπŸ½πŸ•ΊπŸ½giving a spectacle like you have never seen before.
