It was great to welcome Jin Huh from @schalleklab.bsky.social to the @colinchulab.bsky.social at UCL today who gave a great lecture on his work and is helping optimise our AOSLO!

A major grant has been awarded, aided by our BRC, to develop a drug-device combination to revolutionise how immune cells are monitored & treated. The project focuses on #PosteriorUveitis and uses non-invasive imaging of immune cells via the eye. tinyurl.com/5dm2urpf @ucleye.bsky.social

A promotional image from NIHR Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre featuring an image of Colin Shu in a blue shirt. The background is blue with circular and hexagonal shapes in red, white, and blue. The text reads: '“The immune system plays a crucial role in nearly every known disease. However, imaging and tracking individual immune cells directly in patients remains a significant challenge. By overcoming this, we hope to unlock transformative advances relevant to many other systemic conditions, such as autoimmunity, infections and cardiovascular diseases.”

Delighted that our first collaborative paper with Ryan MacDonald lab @ucleye.bsky.social is the front cover of @jcellsci.bsky.social. Lovely Killifish retina imaged with IBEX!

Issue 23 is complete Explore our ToC: journals.biologists.com/jcs/issue/13... On the cover: a killifish retina labelled with nine markers of different retinal cell types using the IBEX technique. See article by Kothurkar et al. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

JCS cover. The image is a confocal image of an adult killifish retina demonstrating that the Iterative Bleaching Extends Multiplexity (IBEX) technique enables simultaneous labelling of all major retinal cell types. Cryosection of an 8-week-old peripheral retina labelled with nine markers: HuC/D (yellow), PAX6 (lavender), GS (magenta), Calretinin (green), Zpr-1 (cyan), PCNA (red), PRPH2 (orange), Zrf-1 (light green) and Lcp1 (purple).
