Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵👇Cell Host & Microbe cell.com/cell-host-micr…


Someone said my microscopy could be a Nine Inch Nails album cover, so I made this. Hey, nine inch nails, I made a brain album cover for you! #MicROCKscopy 🔬🤘👩🎤🧠



career advice: don't hide from your vendor reps, these relationships have been so helpful, since my grad school LC-MS days and now with my microscopy work. Saying that, thanks for taking time to hang out with me in SD, Alex Gonzalez!

🚨🐣 Our new paper is out PLOS Biology! Sonic hedgehog inhibition transforms feathers into ancestral protofeathers-like structures. These units recover after hatching, highlighting their remarkable developmental robustness! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… The Milinkovitch-Tzika lab

Check out these feather buds on the chicken embryo's wing! Our latest PLOS Biology reveals that temporary inhibition of sonic hedgehog signalling transforms feathers into simple, protofeather-like structures—similar to those of their dinosaur ancestors🔬🦖 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Excellent talk last night from Joerg Nikolaus, Imaging Core Director at Yale University Yale West Campus , sharing how he onboarded the UltraMicroscope Blaze into his core. 🔬 He showed how tissue clearing and light-sheet microscopy can be both easy and fun! #abrf2025




Thrilled having joined #TiM2025, diving into cutting-edge #microscopy & #imageanalysis! Honoured to have supported the workshop on light sheet #fluorescence expansion microscopy from Juan Edo Rodriguez for whole-mount #imaging of my marvellous brain #organoids! 🔬🥳 #LSFM #ExM German BioImaging


Great to see our chicken wing image featured on the cover of PLOS Biology 🐣🔬! To learn more about how these feathers develop, check out the full article here ⬇️ journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… The Milinkovitch-Tzika lab Genetics & Evolution



ICYMI, our new work in Royal Society Publishing's Open Biology shows how mechanical forces can drive patterning. By altering growth & material properties of the chicken embryo's skin in vivo, we induce a shift from molecular to mechanical patterning 🐣 🔬 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

✨ Heading to MDI Biological Lab next week for the LSFM course! Here’s some stunning lightsheet data from Ali Max Erturk 🔬: Blaze Ultramicroscope LaVision BioTec GmbH 🥼: Hongcheng Mai, Jie Luo, Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich 📝: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11… 🎬: syGlass #3DThursday #LSFM2025

This is the skull of a tortoise embryo imaged with light sheet microscopy. Check out our new article in iScience journal to learn how both chemical signalling and mechanical forces sculpt their intricate head scales 🐢🔬 cell.com/iscience/fullt…
