'All three awards (...) honored achievements rooted in fundamental research from decades ago. Some experts interpret the selections by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences as representing the importance of slow, basic science, work pursued out of a desire to better understand the world.'

This is how we experience the Nobel Prize announcement every year, with excitement!

This year was extra special, as we celebrated the immunology and Treg!

👇🏼 Listening to our department prefect and lab neighbor, Marie Wahren, beautifully explaining the motivation behind this year’s #nobelprize

#ZebrafishFunFacts While casper zebrafish 👻 are transparent, they are not considered ‘albino’ as they have pigmented eyes. To make a true albino, you have to cross casper w/ the albino allele (slc45a2), which makes a ‘crystal’ mutant. To learn more about crystal, see www.nature.com/articles/sre... 🧪

To visualize niches, a ‘Swiss roll’ section of the small intestine was stained for CODEX multiplexed imaging. This method, in conjunction with the tissue-rolling technique, allows the gut architecture to be dissected at single-cell resolution.
