Sometimes a client will ask a question and we will find out that our wonderful clients have already provided the answer! Case in point: yes, you can combine the @4Dcell confiner with micropatterns 🤩

[Logue Lab @JeremyLogue1]

We've added important new data to our recent pre-print (https://t.co/KdwcHT6Y2a). While cells in confinement without INF2 firmly adhere to the micropattern, cells with INF2 will cross over the micropatterns using fast amoeboid (leader bleb-based) migration:

We've updated our page of client publications, soon we won't be able to keep up! Seeing all the beautiful images makes us so happy. Did we miss yours?

Beautiful study!!! We love to see what our clients do with our devices 🤩😍🤩

Connie Shen @peepingcells, @MandlLab @mcgillu, @Vrisekoop @UMCUtrecht and colleagues discover that nuclear segmentation allows neutrophils to migrate faster in confined spaces.

Why do neutrophils have multi-lobed nuclei? 🧐

Does this enable their rapid migration through tight spaces? 🏃‍♀️💨

In this study, we sought to answer this question experimentally 🔬

Here is what we found 👇

Are you in Marseilles for the Printemps de la Cardiologue? So are we! Looking forward to some intriguing talks, especially from our collaborator @DrHulot_PARCC. Come and see us to learn more about our smartheart assay! 💚 @GRRC_SFCardio

Sometimes we miss one of our clients' publications because of a typo, which is too bad because they do cool stuff! Check out these dynamic micropatterns made with light-responsive azopolymers and our micropatterning kit 🤩 https://t.co/uJrMeyokFh

We're always happy to see what our clients do with our products, even if sometimes it's quite... unexpected! @skglasser what were you trying to see?

[Katrina Velle @KatrinaVelle]

Happy #MicroscopyMonday!
This was an experiment I did not expect today, but I had a great time working with @skglasser (of the Adler lab @Science_Poetry) to test flattening bumblebee intestine in the @4Dcell confiner!

Are you interested in a complete vascularized tumor microenvironment? Tumor cells+fibroblasts, under a perfused epithelium, in a convenient 24WP format. Come to booth 1354 or to @CherryBiotech 's poster at the @AACR meeting to find out more! #AACR23

Happy #MicroscopyMonday!
here is a ~very~ blebby amoeba crawling along a microchannel.

[4Dcell @4Dcell]

Beautiful work Shiraishi et al! They show that alveolar cells plated on 10 um upatterns don't spread and retain their AT2 differentiation, unlike cells plated on larger upatterns. Actin accumulation around the nucleus and yap/taz localization also depend on upattern size🤩

Here is an amoeba crawling through a microchannel (from @4Dcell). Blue areas show where the cell is in close contact with the coverslip (imaged by IRM), and DIC is shown in grayscale.

For night 18 of #31NightsOfHalloween #MicrosCreepy, here is a cell's worst nightmare: getting squished under a pillar in a cell confinement (torture) chamber!

[4Dcell @4Dcell]

It's always so nice to see our products in action! Beautiful videos @KatrinaVelle ! #cellmigration #3dcellculture

[Katrina Velle @KatrinaVelle]

Happy #MicroscopyMonday!
I've been using microchannels made by @4Dcell to explore how amoebae crawl in confinement. I think these cells are happy with their new playground.

[4Dcell @4Dcell]

Lovely experiments performed with a cell confiner!
