Happy #MicroscopyMonday, #MucusMonday, and MLK Day!

Each little dot in this image is a cell with a blue nucleus and a green fluorescent stain. 🧫
This image is a tiled image meaning it is many small images stitched together into one large image. 🪡🧵 Can you see the 'tiling' pattern?

Two decades ago, these authors developed monomeric fluorescent proteins with delicious sounding names.

One of the cell lines I use in my research is tagged with mCherry - now I know where it comes from! 🙌🪼

Welcome to 2024, we can see the brain like never before yet we still don't know how consciousness works. 🧠✌️
Keep it curious, we have a lot more questions to answer. 🥼🥳

This week, I had some fun messing with more color arrangements for ‘burst cell’ (aka ‘failed experiment’) images. 🥲🔬🧫
I then passed my images along to someone who actually studies art! 🎨💻Swipe to see his edits.

Let's summarize a med chem article (DOI: 10.1126/science.abl861). ✨🧠
The authors of this paper used the crystal structures of psychedelics and similar compounds to design a “nonhallucinogenic psychedelic”.🧪🩺🍄🌿🥼

What do these images make you think of? 🌌🌃🔭🌉
They're actually microscopic images at 20x magnification from one of my cell experiments this week. 🧪🧫🔬💻
Which staining looks better to you?

These are heart cells. Beating.
Using stem cells, scientists can grow cardiac tissue in a petri dish. The cells self-organize to form microchambers, which begin to beat like a full-sized heart

Here, I stained the same protein in the same cell line but with different fluorophores (either direct 🔴 or indirect 🟢🟡 conjugation). The nuclei are in blue 🔵.
What can I learn from an experiment like this? 🤔

Regulating neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in circulation can have a significant impact on neurological disorders like depression, anxiety, ADHD, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, and more.

CMS releases #HiggsBoson discovery data to the public
The @CMSExperiment has recently released, in electronic format, the combination of the measurements that contributed to establishing the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012.
This release coincides with the publication of the Combine software – the statistical analysis tool that CMS developed during the first run of #LHC, to search for the unique particle, which has since been adopted throughout the collaboration.
