A one minute primer on how #AutoSpectral improves spectral flow cytometry unmixing by using per-cell calculation of autofluroscence spectra.
Use our R package and get higher quality spectral data, easy as that!

Resident tissue #macrophages (RTM) are now recognized as integral regulators of tissue physiology, not transient immune sentinels. one fundamental question remains unresolved: why do some populations achieve lifelong self-maintenance, while others are replaced under steady-state conditions? 🧵1/11
Microglial colonization of the developing mouse brain is controlled by both microglial and neural CSF-1

Not only my photos are being stolen now, people are selling them under someone else's name😡😡. I intentionally never sold my images for profit. Check the photos below. Mine is in the left, the stolen one in the right. Does someone knows how to sue them?

Pre-print alert! And this one really is a must read for anyone that does spectral #flowcytometry. It is a complete, fully-automated spectral unmixing pipeline that reduces error up to 9000-fold.

Thank you soooo much for this. Kudos to the whole team behind this project. 👏👏
Few days late,but huge thanks to my home institute, TuDMM-UTU, for the finishing grant 😇✨
Figure 4 - CSF1 and IL34 protein increase throughout development and display distinct spatiotemporal transcriptional expression patterns; panel L. Density maps depicting the spatiotemporal expression patterns of Il34 (top) and Csf1 (bottom) transcripts in RNAscope™ across development. Left to right: P3, P10, P30. Warmer colours indicate greater while cooler colours indicate lower transcript density.
CSF1R ligands promote microglial proliferation but are not the sole regulators of developmental microglial proliferation

Just presented my work. Now I’m off to my cave to finish writing. Yup, PhD is just a few BIG steps closer. Until then, I’ll keep chugging my matcha to keep me awake, and buying plants to distract me from failed experiments. 😆
Huge thanks to people who support me everyday: to my real friends in this field who always move with pure intentions, to my friends outside the lab, to my second mother, and most especially, to my loving husband and his family who always believe in me. (3/n)
It’s always my pleasure to share the science I do, and I am beyond grateful for these opportunities. It’s very humbling. The world is full of envy and people who are unhappy to see our successes, but we strive to move forward and to redirect ourselves to better places. (2/n)
In 2018, I presented my Bachelors thesis at the biggest Microbiology conference in the Philippines and won the best presentation award. In 2021, I also got a presentation award for my Masters thesis in Taiwan. Last week, I presented my PhD work to the European Macrophage and DC Society in UK. (1/n)
If NIH shuts down funding of animal-only grants, get ready for a whole lot of grants to include some pointless organoid experiments just to qualify. What a terrible rule!

It just feels surreal that after crossing the horizons to search for greener pastures, I ended up in the happiest place on Earth and found the love of my life: my strength in times of darkness, my biggest supporter when I felt like losing some grip. I’m lucky.

Hi! I’m Ae. I like studying macrophages & microglia. I like being alone in the dark microscope room, playing with flow cytometers, & challenging myself with bioinformatics. I also have many passion outside the lab: I love to cook, take care of plants, sing, & see new places! Nice to meet you here! 🥰
