Congratulations Kira for passing your qualifying exam!
Had fun at the MBL Physiology Course in Woods Hole!
Chunzi, Elizabeth & Kira led creative rotations:
• Trogocytosis is a mi(gh)t-y way to transfer
• Sync(ytium) or Swim: Which fusogen will reign supreme?
• Mucin Impossible: Eat up or get lost

Check out our latest preprint where we show how you can improve automated detection of schistosomiasis by using images of multiple contrasts (brightfield and darkfield) acquired on a mobile microscope! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

At the beginning of the video, the macrophage is trogocytosing a giant unilamellar vesicle at low tension (0.27 mN/m). Pipette suction is applied and tension is increased to 3.68 mN/m and the macrophage begins to engulf the GUV. #macrophages #trogocytosis #GUV #biophysics
