How does foxg1 impact pineal gland development? What are the implications for FOXG1 syndrome?
Lewis Hill, masters student, investigates this in #zebrafish. His image shows in-situ HCR + immuno in foxg1,Gal4;UAS,GFP zebrafish at 24hpf revealing foxg1 mRNA/protein with pineal markers aanat2 & exorh.

This image shows a mass of human stem cells, collectively known as an ‘organoid’.
We stained the neural crest cells of this organoid to better understand diseases related to defects in their development, such as Hirschsprung's disease and Neuroblastoma.
