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.

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

Great question, it could use some neon tiger print to make it more Lisa Frank 🙂

Amy Engevik @amyengevik.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Is this too Lisa Frank for a journal cover? #MicroscopyMonday

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

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.
