Pin-ItLeukocytes have the ability to roll, adhere and migrate to areas of injury in the body. Here, leukocytes were stained and flowed onto an activated endothelium in a microfluidic device. The cells can be seen moving through a 3um pore towards a chemoattractant.

Seam cell divisions in a live C. elegans expressing GFP labeled tubulin and mCherry labeled histone. An L3 stage larvae of C. elegans was anesthetized and mounted on an agarose pad. Images were taken at 20 seconds intervals and 5x2 um z sections for 10 minutes. In-focus images are displayed at each time point.

Paul Maddox
Assistant Professor and William Burwell Harrison Fellow University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Department of Biology
Paul S. Maddox, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor and William Burwell Harrison Fellow, Department of Biology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. Dr. Maddox completed his Ph.D. under the mentorship of renowned cell biology microscopist E. D. Salmon at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His current research interests include using light microscopy to understand chromosome and microtubule dynamics. Dr. Maddox’s experimental philosophy mandates using the light microscope to “see” results in the most quantitative manner possible. Dr. Maddox has over 19 years of experience with light microscopy and has been an instructor in light microscopy courses around the world including Europe, South America, and at the Marine Biological Labs in Woods Hole, USA. He has published over 60 peer-reviewed papers in his career.
