Even with all the advancements in automated cell tracking getting us to 90%+ accuracy...that's still a lot of broken tracks over long movies! Our brains are pretty good at this so I made Vizsla 🐕, a little @napari.org plugin, to help you fix your tracks manually. 👉 pypi.org/project/napa...
We are excited to invite you to the second webinar in our cell migration series. In this webinar, we focus on new models for studying cell migration with talks from @ankita13jha.bsky.social, @raphclement.bsky.social & @katrinavelle.bsky.social. More info⤵️: focalplane.biologists.com/2026/09/03/f...
Another year is gone & I grow old and proud of the work of my team @cellcommlab.bsky.social To celebrate the 6th labversary, we did the best we can do: we submitted...now to cross fingers & to press F5. OK, to celebrate we also had pizza as tradition dictates ;) #CellMigration & pizza lovers 🧪🔬

Bile acid retention in efferocytic #macrophages shapes their inflammatory status during #cholangitis. New study from Amirah Al Jawazneh, Imke Liebold, Stephanie Leyk, Lidia Bosurgi (Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf) et al.: rupress.org/jem/article/... @pjsaez.bsky.social #inflammation
Bringing together science & art, @manuelthery.bsky.social & the CytoMorpho lab describe their project on how cells adapt their shape to their environment using the Musée d’Orsay as their template! The full performance was presented over two nights at the museum earlier this year. #sciart #cellbio

Trade-off between branching and polarity controls decision-making during cell migration
Highly branched cells require fine-tuning of polarity and shape dynamics to ensure balance between exploration and migration.

Join us for a wonderful interaction with the virologist MJ Amorim at the CBR. Virus are helping us to uncover fascinating cell biology of centrosomes and cilia, and at the same time better understand host-pathogen interactions and how those can be targeted. Please spread to those interested!
