Happy #FluorescenceFriday! I've shared this before but am reposting b/c I think the developing #lung is just so darn pretty! This is an E18.5 🐭 lung with 🟢 marking cells that express my favorite gene, Shh.🟣 marks cell membranes. 🔬 by @stjuderesearch.bsky.social postdoc👩‍🔬 @christinaadaly.bsky.social 🧪

A confocal microscopy image showing early tau accumulation in the brain with Alzheimer's Disease. Everything in blue (all nuclei) and green (neurons) is healthy. All the other colors are composed of a combination of different markers for pathological tau. 
The key question is: how do we avoid this tau spreading from cell to cell via neuronal connections? If we can avoid this, we can avoid memory loss.

Guess you can use a timeline cleanser? Can I show you some microscopy? My job is to see beauty even in sad things (so we can learn how to prevent them!). This is a brain with early Alzheimer's. This image was acquired in 3D and took 72 hours to get ready!

Thanks! My lab does our own sectioning. It saves a ton of money and gives us some control over our samples.

Thanks! It’s just one set of antibodies. I can add up to four plus DAPI.
