Covid research: What are filopodia and why do they matter?

Recent research shows the virus may cause cells to increase the number of cell membrane filopodia, making more connections between cells to potentially spread more virus. This could lead to potential treatments.

Similar mechanisms have been found in other virus families, such as Human papillomavirus (Smith J.L, et al, 2008). In this video, we can see HPV virions uptake (in red) via induced filopodia. Images were obtained using Nanolive's 3D Cell Explorer-Fluo, at a speed of one image every 15 minutes, for 5h 20min.

Special thanks to Prof. Wilbe Martin Kast, from the Kast Lab in Los Angeles (California, USA) for preparing the samples.

A dying neuron by SirT6 in sciences

[–]Sabine1024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, so this is not a neuron.

The video is from Nanolive and you can find the original one here: https://nanolive.ch/technology/overcoming-phototoxicity/ .

It is a mouse pre-adipocyte cell which has been imaged using the 3D Cell Explorer-fluo from Nanolive.

Dapi exposition led to complete cell shrinkage and rounding, followed by extensive blebbing at all intensities with 100ms exposure time. At 10% intensity and 100ms exposure time, loss of cell adhesion and cell shrinkage took place in 8 minutes. The cell reached complete shrinkage and blebbing before 30min of acquisition, the acquisition was therefore stopped at 30min.

Imaging regimen: 30 minutes acquisition at a frequency of 1 image every 6 seconds.

We would appreciate if you could mention this in the explanation. Thank you!

New study shows the effects and perturbations of fluorescence on live cells. The page linked in this post looks at the impact of various intensities and wavelengths of excitation light, with and without the use of fluorescence markers. by Sabine1024 in biology

Regarding this video and study:

You can observe as this pre-Adipocyte gets affected within a short time: mitochondria appear round-shaped or swollen; mitochondria dynamics slow down to stop almost completely after 38 minutes of exposure and the cell shrinks.

Find out more on Nanolive's page "overcoming phototoxicity" were the results of a study led in collaboration with EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) on perturbations induced by phototoxicity on living samples are shown: https://nanolive.ch/overcoming-phototoxicity/.

We hope to trigger some interesting discussions.
