In new work from our lab, @kzsabin explores the development and cell type composition of the Nematostella apical sensory organ (ASO), which is associated with the incredible apical tuft cilia (AT) shown in the attached movie. Check it out!

#MaintenanceMonday around here today. We are checking our diamond microtome knives for scratches by cutting empty resin. There's nothing worse than hitting the right spot in a sample and the wrong spot on your knife! Photo and checking by @MelainiaM

The Opera Phenix is giving the green light to experiments in its new home on the 4th floor!

[Stowers Institute Electron and Light Microscopy @StowersMicro]

This is our favorite experiment from this paper. Transient optogenetic control of one protein causes long term aggregation of another! Wow! #optogenetics #Microscopy

The latest paper from @HalfmannLab is now fully formatted at @eLife, https://t.co/Ej8wvGCmfU. In the video, @arg_arginine uses a laser pulse to create “seeds” of CARD9 (top) that trigger activation of BCL10, how our #ImmuneSystem responds to pathogens. @unruhjay @jeff_j_lange

This video comes from @ahmetckarabulut in @Gibson_Lab in collaboration with @MelaniaM and shows the organelle responsible for sea anemone stinging using #volumeEM (SBF-SEM), rendered with @Blender. Read more about its mechanism for stinging here! https://t.co/rXLEXqm5gM

Video of a mouse brain shows how our #microscopy and #histology teams employ chemical clearing techniques & immerse samples in special solutions eliminating distortions. This gives a clear picture of the biological signals from complex tissues. 📹 author: Jeff Lange

It was great to have the opportunity to show the mayor what we can do in our wonderful facility with @phd_sarah and @MelainiaM!

[Mayor Q @QuintonLucasKC]

My thanks to all at the @ScienceStowers for bringing phenomenal scientists and academics to our Greater Kansas City community and making our world a smarter, safer, and healthier place.

It’s alive! Keep an eye on your power generators: AT-AT, our new Nikon spinning disk, is available for usage. AT-AT is very similar to 3PO except that it has a second set of lasers for doing simultaneous imaging and bleaching. More info on Helix.
