This month we try out Microscopya -- an online game where Cell Biology and Gaming Converge. It was created by science artist Beata Mierzwa. a Molecular Biologist and AAAS IF/THEN Ambassador --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ascb-pathwayspodcast/message
The Cell Biology Education Consortium is a network of faculty and students incorporating cell culture-based research into the classroom. We speak with Nathan Reyna of Ouachita Baptist University on how this incredible resource was developed, who can use it, and how to join in. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ascb-pathwayspodcast/message
Manuel Leonetti, group leader in Quantitative Cell Science at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub in San Francisco, is taking the description of “proteins in the wild” a step further with his project called OpenCell. Through advanced imaging techniques, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science, and software engineering, OpenCell is able to measure the quantity and track the position of different proteins in human embryonic kidney cells through time and space. So far, Leonetti says, his group has mapped 1,310 different proteins, which might sound like a lot, but this represents just 7% of the human genome.

Paul Tillberg, now a Janelia Fellow at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Research Campus, developed the protocol for expansion microscopy with colleagues Ed Boyden, currently a professor at MIT, and Fei Chen, currently a Core Institute Member at the Broad Institute. The method exploits the fact that biological tissue is mostly water, and it is this watery fraction, Tillberg explains, that is replaced by a “swellable hydrogel” that expands the sample to sizes that make it much easier to image with familiar fluorescent tags and standard light microscopy equipment. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ascb-pathwayspodcast/message
