Check out the surface details of a Magnificent Biscuit Star (Tosia magnifica) - it's our #MarineMonday Observation of the Day! Seen in #Australia by imogenisunderwater. More details at: inaturalist.org/observations/2… #echinoderms #marinebio #nature #biodiversity

In our (Hardtke Lab 🇨🇭) latest work at Nature Plants , we reveal a molecular-genetic framework for CLE signaling pathways in the root that is fundamentally different from the wiring described in the shoot apical meristem. nature.com/articles/s4147… (1/3)

I'm hiring a postdoc. The pay is average, but the biological question and preliminary data on the project are outstanding. I will gladly share more to those who are seriosuly considering. jobs.bc.cas.cz/en/detail/223

Enriched alpha-actinin (magenta) bundles filamentous actin (green) at filopodia and membrane ruffles in a COS-7 cell. As seen at 114 and 62 nm resolution, respectively, by linear and photoactivated nonlinear structured illumination microscopy. doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Cells undergo extraordinary movements & molecular changes during the dance of development. Understanding the complexity of this dance is foundational to biology, and lights a path to new treatments for disease. Read more about #CZBiohubSF Zebrahub ▶️ czi.co/48hwsWe

Please repost. We are offering a rare opportunity to work as a postdoc or PhD within an international network pushing the boundaries of developmental biology. Please contact me ASAP if interested. sydney.edu.au/science/news-a…

New paper alert! Amazing grad students Ezra Levy and Isabella Leite live image female germline cyst formation in embryonic gonads of mice and discover that even as these structures form, through divisions with incomplete cytokinesis, germ cells are incredibly motile.

Dear plant friends, what flowers have the coolest patterns on their petals? I will start: Saxifraga rotundifolia

Introducing Arabidopsis monstrosa 🧙‍♂️ While not conventionally beautiful, she brings to life the imaginative possibilities of engineered flowers✨

Hey Nikon Small World, time to follow the #microscopy community to Bluesky!

To wrap up Women's History Month, the latest installment of our Masters of Microscopy series spotlights sisters Mindy, Amy and Kristen Engevik. Read their story here! bit.ly/429oOuq

Unexpected role of β-catenin signaling in germ layer specification In this 'Show and tell' post, Genikhovich Group and Tatiana Lebedeva tell us about their video of a GFP-β-catenin knock-in Nematostella embryo from their latest paper. 🎥thenode.biologists.com/unexpected-rol…
