Mouse brain stem section with GLP-1-producing neurons marked in green and low-activity neurons in magenta.
This is a fun #FluorescenceFriday pic. My favorite NTS neurons that express a GLP-1 precursor in Green and the inverse activity marker phospho pyruvate dehydroxylase in magenta. Awesome work by my master's student Patience Otiya.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Our #CellLineOfTheWeek is LAMP-1 - illuminating lysosomes. π§« β¨
Our stem cell lines & plasmids are available for just the cost of shipping to reduce the barriers to scientific discovery.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Today we are excited to share this video which shows a cleared mouse brain hemisphere following depletion of endogenous microglia and transplantation of human cells (magenta).
The @mind-western.bsky.social #fluorescencefriday entry focus on the hippocampus of an aggressive AD model Appnl-g-f with IBA1 (yellow) and abeta (magenta). thanks to @shahrzadbahrampour.bsky.social @nadiahaghbinphd.bsky.social and @kesummers.bsky.social
We had soooo much fun learning from Steve Farber this week. Please enjoy this zebrafish larval #FluorescenceFriday image with macrophages in red (the extensions!! π) and lipid uptake in the gut in green.

That's it, that's the tweet.
Oh, and Happy #FluorescenceFriday π¬
A dark-blue background with bright red/yellow neurons arranged in a diagonal band through the middle. The right side is faintly striped, typical of the striatum.
Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Since I got to do some rare patching this week, enjoy this sagittal brain slice with ChAT+ interneurons in the Striatum, labelled in pAce-mNeonGreen.
This #FluorescenceFriday post is for those who do 2-photon calcium imaging. Make your videos pop! @filip-tomaska.bsky.social released code and a demo to make the neural activity in your videos clear.

π¦The haunting scorpion fluorescence! π¦
The scorpions are embedded in resin. Fluorescence is produced with ultraviolet light, but most wavelengths produce fluorescence. We use them to test animal and wide-field fluorescence imagers.

For #FluorescenceFriday: an image that didnβt make the final paper. A dopaminergic, anaxonic OB neuron with dendritic release sites in magenta. Gephyrin in orange; TH in cyan confirms the GFP-labelled cellβs identity.
π₯ Egg hunt but make it neuroscience & microscopy for #FluorescenceFriday !π
With Easter around the corner, I'm sharing some of my latest imaging & sciart work: mouse olfactory bulbs made to look like beautiful FabergΓ© eggs! π
The images were taken from 3D datasets of whole cleared mouse brains.

A movie from 9 years ago and I've never noticed the actin wave inside these cells until now π± It looks like a cluster of actin filament moving from 1 place to the other and pushing the cell membrane out to form protrusions. Reminds me of an ocean undercurrent. How interesting! #FluorescenceFriday
For todayβs #FluorescenceFriday, the #rods clearly chose chaos
What youβre looking at are long, beautifully coiled outer segments of rod #photoreceptorsβ¦ basically the retina showing off its inner spaghetti aesthetic.
Elegant, tangled, and absolutely essential for seeing in low light.

Double posting for #FluorescenceFriday to give the human π§ some face time - thalamus! How well molecular expression defines the anatomy of the sub-nuclei is really just exquisite - we've had a lot of fun getting to explore this region!
