Happy #FluorescenceFriday 🔬🌈

Ex vivo live-cell imaging of photoreceptor cells in mouse retina explants. What are all those green dots? Stay tuned 😉!

These data suggest that COVID-19 infection, through the SARS-CoV-2 Spike 1 protein, leads to Alzheimer’s disease–related pathology.

I asked my aunt, the doctor,
if she could explain to me
a study that found:
“SARS-CoV-2 induces
Alzheimer’s disease–related
amyloid-β pathology in ex vivo
human retinal explants
and retinal organoids,”
and by way of explanation
my aunt, the doctor, said:
oh fuck.

These explants were infiltrated with agro more than two weeks ago (20 Dec), but they still retain their transient expression.

@reitergroup.bsky.social @semilc.bsky.social & I were discussing already- agreed. Tissue architecture is not typical for airway tissue/explants, much more pseudostratified columnar, but #, scale, size of organelles is also unusual. 🔍/1

My Alice petunia explants already undergoing shoot organogenesis after just 13 days from plating leaf disks. So fast!

I’m excited to announce that our manuscript entitled “Oropouche virus infects human trophoblasts and placenta explants “ has been published by Nature Communications!! @natcomms.nature.com @natureportfolio.nature.com

#FluorescentFriday I saw some glowing cells from seedling explants. Hopefully these grow into transgenic shoots. We shall see.

Just reposting this article about how covid is related to the production of the same amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's.

In case you'd forgotten.

We published a new xenobot-related paper today:

journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

In a nutshell: building xenobots from frog "explants" is good because explants, apparently, come with adaptive potential "built in".

This paper took 6 years and 10 co-authors (see post #2) to reach the light.
Revealing non-trivial information structures in aneural biological tissues via functional connectivity

Explant's aren't limited to liver function. Specific Explants can be used to replace the function of any damaged organ and form an essential part of medical kits. Unnatural abilities can also be unlocked with specific explants, think of them as a long term inventory items. 2/3

No animals were used in this study. We used real udder tissue explants (not cell lines), sourced from abattoirs from animals already processed for the food chain - a nice example of the "Three Rs" (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) in action: nc3rs.org.uk/3rs-public
