Beta cell primary cilia and their various interactions
A data visualization. The image shows a symmetrical shape similar to a butterfly or a brain, made up of numerous colored dots. These dots are densely clustered, forming a gradient of various colors, including red, orange, blue, green, purple, and pink. The colors are distributed in distinct regions, with cooler colors like blues and greens toward the center and warmer colors like reds, oranges, and pinks toward the outer areas. A sparse line of dots, mainly light blue and green, extends above the main shape, giving the appearance of a structure hovering above. The overall effect is an abstract, colorful pattern that suggests a complex organization. © Michael Brand and Sebastian Eguiguren

Spatial Omics at DcGC: Proof-Of-Concept Study of a Game-Changing Technique Shows Successful Application in Zebrafish
A microscopic image displaying a field of small, round shapes against a dark background. The shapes are predominantly green. Some shapes have magenta-colored spots or protrusions, creating a mixed pattern of green, white, and magenta. The image is overlaid with a rectangular inset, zooming in on a section of the shapes, where the same color patterns are visible, but in greater detail. © Michael Brand and Evelyn Abraham

Seeing the Future: Zebrafish Regenerates Fully Functional Photoreceptor Cells and Restores Its Vision
A microscopy image. showing an irregularly shaped cluster of round structures with bright red and green fluorescence on a black background. The cluster consists of multiple overlapping red circular shapes, with green fluorescent outlines and networks interweaving through and around the red areas. The green fluorescence forms intricate, web-like patterns, creating a contrast with the solid red regions. © Prateek Chawla

Researchers Identify Key Cells for Blood Sugar Control Using Optogenetics
A logo. Eight irregular triangles are arranged clockwise in a color gradient from dark blue to light green to form a regular octagonal ring. Inside is a symbol representing DNA. To the left of the ring is the two-line lettering "DRESDEN concept". To the right of the ring, the two-line lettering "Genome Center" © DcGC

Making Ends Meet: Researchers Find That a Protein Superglue is Crucial for DNA Damage Repair
An illustration. There are three parts that explain the pause also known as temporary tug of war, the negative run, and the positive run of a cargo on microtubules. In all three images, an oval shape has blue and green noodles. Some of the noodles are connecting with a grey rod. In pause, both blue and green noodles are connected to the rod, the text says "both dynein and kinesin engage with microtubule". In th negative run, only the blue noodles are connected to the rod and the text says "only dynein engages with microtubules". In case of the positive run it's the opposite. © Diez Lab
