The winners of this year's American Society for Cell Biology video and photo contest, "Celldance," focus on the art that underlies the work cell biologists do every day.The winning video, "Cellular Recognition," earned linkurl:U. Serdar Tulu;http://www.biology.duke.edu/kiehartlab/people.html at Duke University $500 for his ability to capture the dynamics of filopodia during Drosophila development. During the film, two epidermal cell sheets merge to form the epidermis.
The #1 photo entry, by linkurl:Li He,;http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/biochem/news/index.htm a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, captures the colorfully stained image of follicle cells in a fruit fly egg chamber, and also netted He $500. The image depicts the nuclei (blue), focal adhesions (green), and actin filaments (red).The second place image, by...
