Unfortunately, we didn't make the cover @natureportfolio.bsky.social .

I still think our proposition deserves sharing.

Enjoy the read: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Another #notTHECover unfortunately.

But this gorgeous, Tron-like vibe, drawn by the amazing @munafomarzia.bsky.social for our recent #ExM work with @gautamdey.bsky.social & @centriolelab.bsky.social will still be printed out in the lab.

Our article on how to use micropatterned presynapses-on-glass is out in its final form in the latest issue of the Journal of Neuroscience @sfnjournals.bsky.social: www.jneurosci.org/content/46/8...
The cover went to the special section on social neuroscience, so here's our #notthecover attempt

How this image is #notthecover? It's the coolest one I've seen in a while! All praise to M, our microglia savior, for destroying amyloid and rescuing neurons!
Meet M, our microglia superheroine 🦸‍♀️💥

After chugging the magical DGAT2-Stop! Kool-Aid 💊🧃, she breaks free from her lipid droplet shackles 💥💪

Supercharged, she lifts the amyloid beams 🧱 trapping neurons and saves the city of Brain 🧠🏙️!

After so many #notthecover one of @probablycarmen.bsky.social of a CAR T cell engaging with a cancer cell made it to the front of @embojournal.org! Want to know more about the function of protrusions in early #Tcell activation? Check out how we became accidental immunologists!
In issue 10:
Convergent evolution of aerobic fermentation
CIN promotes migration & invasion via EFEMP1 secretion
SenSet resource defines cell-type specific senescence signatures

Our article on how GSK3b controls microtubule bundling in axons is live 🎉
Here's our #notthecover attempt

We also had another attempt #NotTheCover, this time hand-drawn by @bioarm.bsky.social one of the co-first authors of this work.
This will also be printed out.

& if you wonder what the real cover ended up, it was an axolotl... yet again!

For #FluorescenceFriday, another #notthecover from our recent article! Beads making presynapses on axons 🧪

#notthecover, but it’s beautiful and captures the science so well! Thank you for sharing your creative vision with us!
Microglia: A super-heroine that had a DGAT2-blocking beverage (cans) so she could break the chains from lipid droplets holding her back (LD weights) and lift the amyloid load (beams) that trapped the neurons, thereby rescuing them in the aged Brain (City sign)! #NotTheCover @cp-immunity.bsky.social

Let's have a #notthecover for #MicroscopyMonday: hippocampal neuron with endogenously tagged HA-actin — one of the proposed covers for rupress.org/jcb/article-... 🧪 🔬

Our Immunity @cp-immunity.bsky.social Cover was not selected but nothing can hold back the Microglia super-heroine when she has DGAT2-blocking beverage. #NotTheCover Read the full article in Immunity: www.cell.com/immunity/ful...

Some great new entries for #notthecover! we should start collecting here just like back on Twitter..
for #SciArtPortfolioWeek here are some rejected covers of 2023

#NotTheCover @cellpress.bsky.social ...but, we’re still pretty proud of it! 😄 Had an awesome time putting this together with the amazing @kfreeman.bsky.social and @raphaelpark.bsky.social What a ride! 🚀

Thing 3 to gain attention and followers: This was #NotTheCover of JCB - 3D rendering of a bunch of cancer cells imaged in zebrafish, pseudocolored by morphotype (e.g. shape classification)

I also had fun in making gummy GLT25D1 making #notthecover using #blender

#NotTheCover We proposed this image for our paper
out now in CELL @cellpress.bsky.social

It depicts sildenafil treatment like a wave displacing the visual noise associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.

Fantastic work from Emma Vidal at DrawImpacts!

Breaking symmetry♋️

Another #NotTheCover from the same issue of @cellcellpress.bsky.social

Here the @zernickagoetz.bsky.social lab @caltech.edu reports the earliest known symmetry breaking event in the mammalian embryo - right at moment of fertilisation!

Guess who has two thumbs and just got *another* #notthecover

Bifidobacteria co-evolve with their hosts - new research by the @halllab.bsky.social published in @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social and illustrated by me!

Another #NotTheCover for the books, but in this case, it's really their loss 😋
