Hi all, we are now on bluesky. Give us a follow @glasgowimaging.bsky.social so that we can start building our network up again over there🔬

Also keep your eyes peeled for upcoming info on the GIN symposium 2025 👀

Thanks for choosing our preprint to highlight Simon, really interesting questions and perspectives for us to think about 🔎💭

[Simon - now on Bluesky @Simon_J_Cleary]

Fun highlighting this preprint! Fercoq (@FFercoq), Cairns (@_Gemmaaaa_) and colleagues have used new imaging approaches to reveal striking effects of pre-metastatic breast cancer & G-CSF treatment on adhesiveness of neutrophils in the lungs:

Pre-metastatic neutrophilia and lung-metastatic breast cancer: a one-two punch to the lungs 🫁

@Simon_J_Cleary highlights work from the Carlin Lab (@BAIR_Head).

“The methods developed for use in this study are impressive…”.

Registration almost full! Great to see so much interest in reviving the network 🔬 We are still accepting abstracts until Friday for those who have registered. See you all in December 👋

[Glasgow Imaging Network @GlasgowImaging]

There are only a few registration places left for #GINSymposium2023, so register quick to not miss out! (https://t.co/pBvWNUoKET) If you've already registered and would still like to submit an abstract please send it to [email protected] (max 300 words) by 17th Nov.

🆕Preprint from @XimenaRaffo in @BAIR_Head's Lab finds that γδ T cells impair the differentiation of tumour-associated macrophages into airway macrophages in lung adenocarcinoma, suggesting new avenues for immunotherapeutic strategies

@DrBrianPatton So so sorry to hear this Brian, my thoughts are with you and your family

Join us for our annual 24 hour gaming stream as we raise money for @myawareUK

Myaware is the only UK charity dedicated to the support of those living with myasthenia, a rare autoimmune disease for which there currently is no cure.

My first first author preprint from my PhD work is out today on arXiv! 😁@DrBrianPatton and I have developed an image-based method of aligning multichannel infinite-conjugate microscopes using a ray transfer matrix analysis model https://t.co/4CStRzF4Xa

[Gemma Cairns @_Gemmaaaa_]

We hope this alignment method will be particularly useful for open-source microscopy systems which often have compact designs resulting in difficulties using traditional alignment methods, such as autocollimators and shear plates, or where additional hardware isn't available.
