Immune cells don't only interact with the ECM, they also interact with surrounding cells in tissue as they migrate. This video gives me so much joy because there is just so much biology here to be discovered. Sticky cells! Here, immune cells are 🔴, ectodermal cells are ⚪. Happy #FluorescenceFriday

Having seen the news: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... thought I'd share a cilia movie captured at UCL GOS ICH with Eriomina Shahaj & Vanesa Papastavrou using simple DIC on a Nikon Ti2 with DIC at 60x1.4. 500 fps here slowed down 20 times. Processed with Nikon's denoiseAI and an unsharp mask in Fiji.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. Single immune cell migration is fascinating. But these cells can also behave like a coordinated collective, like 🐝 from a hive. I captured some embryonic myeloid cells (🔴) displaying swarming behaviour in a migrating ectoderm cell sheet (🔵), like neutrophils in our body!
