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 🧪
Microscopy image of a developing mouse lung. Cells that express Shh are shown in green. Membranes of non-expressing cells are magenta.

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! #Microscopy #Neuroscience
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.

It’s been a dark time in the United States. But it is inspiring to see so many scientists and advocates #StandUpForScience across the country. I’m super proud of my student Charu for making this great graphic for SC’s rally and of our lab members for taking a stand.
