Latest in an occasional series of album covers that are biological images.

Circadia - David Grubb

Artwork by David Grubb and Annie Perry.
(Inspired by the drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal.)

ALT: image of neurons that are multicoloured on a blueish-red background. They are densely packed with thin neurites extending upwards.

Seeing these vesicles zooming around the cell + then darting over to the mitochondria within seconds after you add the drug to trap them there never gets old 🔬🤩 #CellBiology #microscopy #membranetraffic #BiologyIsBeautiful

Attached: 1 image We noticed a key autophagy protein ATG9A in our proteome and got curious about the relationship between the previously described ATG9 vesicles and INVs. Through in-cell vesicle capture assays, we showed that ATG9 vesicles make up one subtype of INVs. 3/n

Focusing in on the microscopic world of nanophotography – in pictures

Each year during National Science Week, the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology runs a contest showcasing creativity in research for images using microscopes and other scientific tools that cannot be seen with the human eye. With the winner set to be revealed at the end of August, here are the finalists

@steveroyle These currently remind me of clumps of endosomes with an edge-detection filter so I want to share with you the colonial ascidian tunicate Botrylloides leachii. It looks like it has nicely segmented organge ROIs from afar. It’s colloquially called a “tiger sponge” but it’s not in the same phylum as sponges at all. It’s a Chordate (same as us), has a body plan similar to higher animals *and* is capable of full-body regeneration. It’s one of my favourite animals! #BiologyIsBeautiful
In Oxford today and took this #BiologyIsBeautiful image of a coral. Those patterns are mesmerising!
