Check out this research by Dylan Burnette and colleagues which is gaining popularity! 👉 nature.com/articles/s4155… They discovered #blebbisomes, exceptionally large membrane-enclosed vesicles that actively engage in intercellular communication.

A story about our blebbisome paper, "Exploring a New Frontier in Cell Communication: A Q&A with the Burnette Lab on Blebbisomes" has now been posted by Vanderbilt School of Medicine Basic Sciences! medschool.vanderbilt.edu/basic-sciences…

Cells undergoing cell division videoed through a spinning disk confocal microscope. DNA (red) and the Golgi apparatus (cyan) are shown. #CellBiology

Polyester fabric photographed through a microscope.

Burnette lab graduate student, Zach Sanchez, won the Steve Hann Outstanding Graduate Student Award! He then gave a fun talk on blebbisomes! You can read about his work here: nature.com/articles/s4155… Vanderbilt School of Medicine Basic Sciences Zachary Sanchez

An epithelial cell videoed through a microscope. #CellBiology

The head of a zebrafish embryo (72 hpf) photographed through a microscope. Yes, its eye follows you..... #CellBiology

Burnette Lab outing to Pins Mechanical Nashville. Sadly, Burnette Lab 2.0 is coming to an end but Burnette Lab 3.0 is booting up! #CellBiology

The leading edge of a crawling cell videoed through a microscope. Watch the actin cytoskeleton in motion as it drives membrane protrusion and cell movement. It’s like watching the cell think with its feet. #CellBiology

Are my basic scientists still here? Haven’t done #FluorescenceFriday in quite a bit. Feeling sad about the state of science in the US? Go stare at some fibroblast actin networks (shown here) in a microscope until your eyes bleed! It works!
