Day 293 of #LMB365 shows the new public art outside the recently opened Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre. Artists Matthew Dalziel and Louise Scullion produced the artwork titled “CORPUS” to represent a series of standing stones that engage and reflect on the anatomy and psyche of being human. The LMB building can be seen in the background of this photo taken by Paul Margiotta.

Day 292 of #LMB365 from Laura Pellegrini in Madeline Lancaster’s group shows a section of a cerebral organoid including a ventricular lobe, resembling the structure of the developing human cortex. It also shows an epithelial tissue named the choroid plexus (green), which secretes the cerebrospinal fluid important for brain expansion and maintenance.

This beautiful image, taken in the LMB car park by Conny Yu for day 291 of #LMB365, shows the sun setting behind the building.

Caught in the act on day 290 of #LMB365. Members of the LMB planted over 800 daffodil and narcissi bulbs that will cheerily pop up outside the LMB next Spring announcing in all their golden glory that a new season has sprung. The bulbs were generously donated by Scotsdales Garden Centre to help raise funds for Marie Curie.

Day 289 of #LMB365 is an image from Costa Televantos in Lalita Ramakrishnan’s group of a granuloma from a fish infected with Mycobacterium marinum. In this image, macrophages (a type of white blood cell responsible for controlling infection) are fluorescent, with green nuclei and a red cytosol and are infected with blue bacteria. The early stage ofMycobacterium marinuminfection in zebrafish models that ofMycobacterium tuberculosisin humans. The group utilise the genetic tractability and optical transparency of the zebrafish to influence and monitor the progression of infection.

This photo for day 288 of #LMB365 shows some of the hundreds of parcels of varying types processed by the LMB Stores Team every day. These are then delivered to all departments across the LMB building.
