For #CellMigration lovers
How do cells decide when facing a symmetric junction?
The membrane oscillates exploring both directions until one arm wins.
TLDR: this depends on the actin cytoskeleton & cancer cells decide faster than healthy cells

Emergent seesaw oscillations during cellular directional decision-making - Nature Physics

Cell motion along linear confinements is deterministic. Now a model predicts deterministic oscillations in cellular polarization at a Y junction in a set-up with adhesive patterns.

#DarthVader cell using the force to choke another one (arrow/red nucleus) until...well, wait for it to see it in slow motion
Only the sound is missing to be like #StarWars

For the long weekend.

#Mitochondria, powerhouse of the #cell were labeled (cyan) and it's possible to visualize how they reach every corner.

Last week @Martina_Alamo_R finished her internship @ the @cellcommlab, and left Hamburg.
Now she is back home @LabYuseff 🇨🇱 to finish her #PhD thesis.
Good luck Marti, we already miss you (and your experiments of 300 coverslips 😅 support pic 👇🏼)

#ExSRRF, a new pipeline that allows to reach 25 nm resolution using widefield #microscopy
(useful for #cellbio, #ER_literature, clinics & more)

Tks for the invitation, @PuellesVictor, happy that @cellcommlab we could help you w this neat work

A short thread about Adam Dowdell's excellent chemotaxis paper, just out in @CurrentBiology. It shows how combinations of ligands for the same receptors cause fascinating & counterintuitive outcomes (1/n)
https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(23)00294-4
Competition between chemoattractants causes unexpected complexity and can explain negative chemotaxis

Competition between different ligands for the same receptor type can explain how cells can drive negative chemotaxis in which cells migrate away from a chemical repellent. Dowdell et al. show that ligand competition and breakdown can combine to cause counterintuitive behaviors, such as two attractants combining to repel cells.

Kudos to @Marie_Adler23 for finishing your MSc !
All the hard work paid out and you got a beautiful thesis.
