How are two embryos alike?
As we collect spatio-temporal microscopy data, we want to quantify variability in the timing of key developmental events.
Alignment of multiple recordings is a core engineering challenge here and we suggest a solution; read about it:

Quantitative comparison of morphogenesis across individuals remains a fundamental challenge, as developing embryos vary in shape, orientation and developmental tempo. Moreover, real-time three-dimensi...
Spinal motor neurons in dazzling detail. ✨
Each green dot is a spinal motor neuron - crucial but rare cells making up just 1% of neurons in the spinal cord. In diseases like ALS, they are selectively damaged, making them of special interest to neuroscientists.

Today was my very first time ever attending a proper #devbio conference @yen-network.bsky.social and I enjoyed it alot. 💯 blown away by the stunning imaging! Thank you YEN for giving me a chance to present my work, eventho its mostly #cellbio based, n to win 2nd prize for best talk is the 🍒 on 🎂!

Great preprint by @vram142.bsky.social & Co www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... "fiber homotypy," where chromatin fibers with similar nucleosome spacing interact more frequently in 3D
--> Related to our previous "nucleosome homology recognition" in chromatin royalsocietypublishing.org/rsif/article...
