Take a break from doom-scrolling and watch this cool membrane animation!

1/4 Our @biorxivpreprint, 'Origin of Ewing Sarcoma by Embryonic Reprogramming of Neural Crest to Mesoderm' is now available on bioRxiv! In this study, we explore the enigmatic origin of Ewing sarcoma using our zebrafish genetic cancer models. We revealed that neural crest cells can uniquely tolerate EWSR1::FLI1 expression, leading to tumor formation in vivo. A big thanks to our collaborators @clairearataphd and @CrumpLab for this adventurous journey! #NeuralCrest #cancer #EwingSarcoma #zebrafish @amatrudalab @ChildrensLA @biorxiv_cancer👉https://t.co/h0QP0FgX5n

It's #MicroscopyMonday, so let's take a look into the 🔬 with this @NikonSmallWorld image of an adult transgenic zebrafish head. Blood vessels (blue), lymphatic vessels (yellow), and the skin and scales (magenta). 4x magnification

@alon_douek @ZebrafishRock Awesome! Yeah, I don’t study the eye, but the lens is very cool!

“Chronic disease”?

After we debunked MMR-autism links he went to thimerosal; when that fell he went to overwhelming the immune system; next alum; then infertility; out of desperation he made up chronic disease, even he doesn’t know what that is. It’s all fake pseudoscience.

We are very excited to announce the Inaugural Quantitative Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (QFLIM) workshop at NIH in Bethesda co-organized by Jay Knutson (NIH) and Chris Combs (NIH), on November 7th, 2024.

The Inaugural QFLIM Symposium will be held on the campus of NIH in Building 10, Masur Auditorium. FLIM is a rapidly growing technique in microscopy that provides unique and robust information about metabolic state, analyte concentrations, nanoscopic probe flexibility and environments and molecular proximity; it has wide applicability in cell biology and pathology. In this first year, a group of local and international speakers will showcase a variety of applications while discussing the advances made possible by the latest instruments.

The QFLIM symposium will be a one day event (this year) and we are expecting ~150 academic attendees. Attendance will be capped.

Confirmed speakers (with more tbd);

Chiara Stringari (Keynote)
Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, Paris

David Jameson
Department of Cell and Molecular Biology , John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Ammasi Periasamy
Keck Institute, University of Virginia

Melissa Skala
Morgridge Inst., University of Wisconsin - Madison

Alexandra Walsh
BME dept., Texas A&M

Steve Vogel
NIAAA

Luke Lavis
Janelia Farms, HHMI

Hailey Parry
NHLBI

Rozhin Penjweini
NHLBI/LAMB

Walter Philip Bleicher
NHLBI

Kandice Tanner
NCI

There will be a poster session and a dedicated vendor session. There will also be time for vendor lightning talks. The tentatively, truncated, meeting schedule;

8:15a Registration and breakfast
9a Opening Remarks
9:15a-6:30p Talks, and everything else!

There will be vendor tables available.

Registration will be open by September 1st.

We hope to see you soon!
