Who knew amyloid (yes, as in Alzheimer's disease) makes deliveries of RNA to sperm for translation in the embryo?!

How does the mitotic spindle adapt to genomes that differ in size by more than 10,000-fold? Our new paper in @NatureCellBio reveals a simple scaling law and the physics behind it: chromosome crowding! 🧵

An open model you can chat with about raw DNA sequences. 🤖 Great for access. But sequence is only half the story: biology happens in 3D, in whole bodies. Next wave of bio-AI must learn from where cells and molecules actually are.

Glia derives from the greek word for glue, but they are so much than that.

In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, shows a pyramidal neuron (PyC) surrounded by 8 glia brain cells – 5 microglia (MG) and 3 oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC).

This video inspired an awe that has remained with me since my freshman year. A well deserved prize!

"More than 18,000 questionable images found in antibody catalogues of 15 companies" - It's stuff like this that makes bio research so slow

Researchers used a technique that produced a detailed protein map of the human retina. Fluorescent antibodies highlight specific structures in this image captured with #microscopy from Leica Microsystems. Read more: https://t.co/c9Bf0Ch1X7

This 'important' Tools and Resources paper establishes a robust live-imaging toolkit to characterize excitatory and inhibitory synaptic dynamics during neuronal development. The methodology and quantitative data are 'convincing' and well validated.

How does white matter recover after #stroke?

A team shows how microglial A-2A receptor repairs white matter by stimulating #efferocytosis and oligondendrocyte differentiation—and can be targeted with micelles to promote recovery in mice. @FudanUniversity https://t.co/1gXkhXaESG

Video of myosin proteins "walking" along actin. Insane that we can image this!

It was made by Toshio Ando's group using atomic force microscopy. All of their papers are a goldmine; they've also recorded a Cas9 protein cutting DNA and ATP synthase spinning.
