Happy Wednesday from the newest members of the Fowler lab - the giant podocyte, platelet, and red blood cells! Starting with the podocyte: 1,000,000x, 5,000,000x, 1,250,000x, and 750,000x actual size.
Today marks the end of summer intern season in the Fowler lab! We hosted two high school students and one undergrad who made significant progress in our RBC myosin and lens tropomyosin projects. Thanks @hightechhigh @ScrippsRTI and @SD_LSSI for making these internships possible.
Check out @ParrenoJustin 's paper on mechanical strain in the mouse eye lens in @MBoCjournal published online this week! Authors include Cathy Cheng and @RBNowak74 molbiolcell.org/doi/full/10.…
Check out Cathy, @RBNowak74, and Michael's new paper on tropomyosin 3.5 and tissue biomechanical properties, up on BioRxiv!

#FlashbackFriday to this beautiful, 3D, super-resolution image of actin in isolated eye lens fiber cells, taken with the @zeiss_micro 880 Airyscan @scrippsresearch For more about these awesome cells check out Cathy's IOVS paper: iovs.arvojournals.org/articl…
Our lab got to relieve stress by making friends with adorable puppies from the San Diego Humane Society yesterday! Thank you @ScrippsGradPrgm for organizing this great event.
A very happy birthday to @RBNowak74 and Ella!! We celebrated these two awesome members of our lab and wished them a wonderful year to come with Sprinkles cupcakes.
Kasturi, Cathy, and Roberta (@RBNowak74) all pitched in this morning to give an awesome lab tour to community college students from the Cal State San Marcos Bridges Program! They highlighted their work on #megakaryocytes and the #eyelens and showed off our @Biomomentum
Congratulations @ParrenoJustin, Cathy, and Roberta! Their paper on multiscale load transfer in the lens was just accepted by @MBoCjournal!! The final version should appear online soon. Until then, check out the pre-print on #bioRxiv. biorxiv.org/content/early/20…
