The power of AI in predicting cell behavior could change the game for researchers. Hear more from Patricia Brennan & Theofanis Karaletsos on CZI's vision for accelerating science by bridging AI, engineering + cell biology bit.ly/3A4IdT3
Through advanced imaging methods, Andrew scott can map the orientation + structure of heart muscle cells & how they’re organized into functional units. This unprecedented resolution could unlock insights into how the heart’s cellular architecture enables its function
It's Friday, so why not kick back with some beautiful art from the RWC Parks and Arts Foundation show? Every year California #BayArea artists come together in our Community Space to engage with their community + share their craft 🥰
How do cells choose a “career path”? 💼 🤓 Chiara Stringari + Aguilar-Arnal lab are using cutting-edge imaging technology to map how brain cells develop, moment by moment, from stem cells to dopamine-producing cells that help with basic brain processes
Imaging researcher Edith Sandström + team captured this image in under 12 minutes—the same image generated with the current standard of mass spectrometers would take more than 3 days! 🤯
Researchers David Shackelford, Roberto Zoncu + Rushika M. Perera are using advanced techniques to track interactions inside cells. Here you can see mitochondria (🟢) + lysosomes (🔴) interact, they impact cell health, behavior & survival.
This star-shaped astrocyte, captured through a super resolution microscopy technique, is color-coded based on its depth within the tissue, providing a 3D perspective of its location + interactions within the brain 📸 Xiaoyu Shi
DYK? Astrocytes are related to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s. We support scientists Anu Suomalainen Wartiovaara + Pekka Katajisto who are deepening our understanding of cell metabolism which could improve the health of these cells 📸 Sofiia Olander @ASW_Lab University of Helsinki
These glowing tubes are filled with nanoclusters that can emit near-infrared light allowing their glow to penetrate much deeper into the body’s tissues compared to traditional fluorescent dyes. The Copp Lab + team developed them to advance deep tissue imaging
Understanding how cells use nutrients could help us better prevent + manage certain diseases. Researchers like Anu Suomalainen Wartiovaara & Pekka Katajisto are using cutting-edge tech to get detailed views of how astrocytes & paneth cells of the gut manage metabolism on the #SingleCell level
