The confocal fluorescence image shows the transition zone from the fallopian tube to the uterus of a mouse in a cross section. The image presents a cross-section of the fallopian tube, revealing its internal architecture with cell nuclei (blue), actin-rich structures which trace the epithelium and musculature (red), and nucleic acids in secretory and epithelial cells (green).

In the fallopian tube, coordinated contractions & fluid flow guide the embryo into the uterus. The image shows the transition zone from the fallopian tube to the uterus.

The image shows cultured cortical neurons from rats. By labeling the tissue with fluorescent probes key cellular components become visible. Microtubules, the structural framework of the cell, are marked in green whereas the energy producing organelles mitochondria are red. The neurons nucleus are visible in blue.

MPL wishes you a peaceful holiday & a good start into 2026!

Truly grateful for this opportunity and the support that made it possible. Looking forward to this new path.

We are already looking forward to the BioBrillouin Conference, organized by MPL and MPZPM!

Don't forget to submit your abstract until October 1, 2025 to join this amazing lineup of speakers at the 9th International BioBrillouin Conference from Nov 25-27 in Berlin! Looking forward to seeing you there 🤩
