Photoreceptors have always "outsourced" some of their needs to other cells, but our newest paper suggests a new way they rely on their neighbors: degrading damaged mitochondria (transmitophagy)! Wanna hear more? 👀 I'll tell you more in this thread... https://t.co/PuVQV3rUS6

I will be migrating off of here and moving to [email protected] in the upcoming days. Will be trying to find folks there and going thru my follow list, but if you have a bluesky please share!

@joachimgoedhart @rhutto3 @FijiSc @DrLachie Love this and will be sharing with all my students and all the black-background slides enthusiast I know =) So easy!

@tim_stasevich @rhutto3 @FijiSc @DrLachie We have also implemented this method in the #ezReverse web app, available here:

There appear to be spirals of light green or light blue. Actually, they are identical (r = 0, g = 255, b = 150). (Munker illusion)

Human zygotes are so small!! 😳

@FASEBorg Biology & Chemistry of Vision session on Outer Retinal Metabolism. Session Chair #SueBrockerhoff discusses what happens to cone mitochondria following damage in the zebrafish retina. @rhutto3

@lucas__restrepo @manorlaboratory @BaehreckeLab @chaynes329 @mitodynamics @jodi_nunnari @LabScorrano @mito911_ Mitos can have a sig. loss of density/heterogenous density after stress. We’ve seen this and Mito blebbing (granted, extruded into other cells) but our mitos overall lose density unlike yours. See pinned tweet. Noticed “blebs” with both OMM and IMM, which could imply extrusion

[Martin Picard @MitoPsychoBio]

Mitochondrial shape changes regulate nuclear gene expression and stem cell fate.

As if cells had evolved to tune their lives and behaviors to the state of their mitochondria.

Interested in evolutionary cell biology and need inspiration for your next experiments? In our opinion article in @TrendsCellBio we discuss how to use experimental evolution for cell biology. Was a lot of fun to write with @Dey_Gautam and @gsherloc!

This is likely the most detailed recording of a #xenopus tadpole, highlighting the peripheral nerves plus every nucleus in toto! Hard to stop looking at this. Awesome work @XenoThomasnaert!

[Rachel Hutto @rhutto3]

I’ve seen a lot of these types of visualizations over the years, but this one struck me as particularly effective. https://t.co/AKU3pewfgv

[Rachel Hutto @rhutto3]

Wow, a stunning image of bacteriophages on the attack! That goes in the microbio class slide deck for sure.

[Sebastian M. Markert @sci_bastian]

That's the reason I love #electronmicroscopy
You can see cool stuff like this :D

Any ideas what's going on here?

[Rachel Hutto @rhutto3]

@StephenHoltz Thanks so much!! ☺️

@BWJones I know. 😭 I will certainly miss it, but I do totally love what I’m doing now too. At least I get to stay plugged in somewhat via seminars and papers. It’s just too bad we only get to live one life!

[Rachel Hutto @rhutto3]

@BobbyJEyeGuy Thanks very much!!
