Collective cell motion has many forms, but rotation is the coolest of them all. I'm Nimesh Chahare, and in this short🧵, I'll highlight some instances of global tissue rotation like this one from BauschLab

First #FluorescenceFriday as a ✨PhD candidate✨!! This is a cardiomyocyte stained for sarcomere Z-lines (alpha actinin, magenta) and M-lines (titin, yellow). Imaging these guys never gets old!

📢 Heads up local microscopy peeps: Today is the deadline for the CISR “Life is Beautiful” contest 🤩 Send in your good stuff to win STACKS of cash! 💰💰👇👇

This was a wonderful project to work on with Alexa Mattheyses and Navaneetha Bharathan, PhD. Nav Bharathan led this effort to review the history of desmosome imaging, from the mid 1800s to today. It is inspiring to review the work of early imaging scientists and pioneers of EM.

Particularly excited to share our latest work, where we visualize how myosin motor forces alter the structure of actin. We discovered a spiral form of the filament which can be recognized by force-sensitive actin binding proteins. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
