β¨ We are looking forward to hosting Isabel Espinosa Medina of HHMI Janelia Research Campus at #2026SDB in Las Vegas! Her work explores how the autonomic nervous system affects the development and homeostasis of different organs like the pancreas.

How does an orbiting spherical tissue suddenly break symmetry and sprout invasive strands? We can predict this behavior from the initial morphology!

#FluorescenceFriday again, this time looking at mitochondria in two cells inside of a spheroid model. Imaged on our MOSAIC with adaptive optics + LLSM. This AIC project was done with Marguerite Blignaut's group at Stellenbosch University.
I spy some light sheet microscopy at air-liquid interface π. Thanks for adding it to the list!

Zebrafish Rock!
Happy #FluorescenceFriday, here is a macrophage engulfing a deformable particle imaged on our LLSM. This project from Mira Krendel's lab and the @aicjanelia.bsky.social just came out as a preprint today!
