Is this a jellyfish floating in the ocean? 🌊

Nope! What you are seeing is actually a glimpse inside a lab-grown #innerear #organoid 👂, complete with nerves and blood vessels! 🧪

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time for the #FluorescenceFriday post🎄!

This week, we’re featuring a hiPSC reporter line engineered to express 2 fluorescent proteins—located in the nuclei and actin filaments of #hiPSCs, generated using STRAIGHT-IN Dual🧪🔬

There are so many #morphogenesis researchers here!
My first starter pack is full!
Here is Part 2: go.bsky.app/K6YYKeC

Tell me if I should add you but try to make sure, that you're not already in Part 1.
I cannot cross-reference everyone 😅

Let's highlight our hiPSC-derived inner ear organoid model 👂🧪

Exciting science is happening in advancing this cutting-edge model, by optimizing the protocol, but also by novel applications in disease modeling, toxicity studies and viral infections 🔬🧬🦠

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! ✨ Proud to show a 100x magnification of a #hiPSC derived #innerearorganoid, with a beautiful #haircell and its stereocilia pointing towards the lumen! 🔬👂
