Thrilled to collaborate with @zhixingchen2.bsky.social Lab @pku1898.bsky.social !
We tested new PK Mem dyes—gentle, photostable tools to label the plasma membrane in live neurons, making it easier to track growth cone motility & axonal transport. #liveimaging #neuroscience

it is a filopodial (thin protusions) party in there! 🕺🧐
🧪 #liveimaging

This time-lapse captures 17 hours of axonal growth from a chicken dorsal root ganglion explant, visualized through the actin cytoskeleton using live confocal imaging.
I just submitted this video to the Nikon Small World in Motion competition. Today is the last day to upload yours! 😉

And sometimes accross the floor plate 🙂

For this #FluorescenceFriday, let's watch an axonal growth cone (for a change) displaying its most beautiful filopodia (this time)! 🤩 They are so dynamic! 1 image taken every 500 ms for 5 min played at 15 fps. 🧪

This axonal growth cone from a culture of spinal neurons decided to display its most beautiful lamellipodia for this #FluorescenceFriday! 🤩 #neuroscience #liveimaging 🧪
1 image taken every second for 10 min, played at 15 images/s

🚀 It's #FluorescenceFriday, and commissural axons are coming at you!

🧪🔬 15-hour time-lapse of chick commissural axons navigating and crossing the CNS midline (and reverse).

One stack taken every 10 minutes. Pixels were color-coded in the z-axis.

Starting the week strong! Cheering myself up for the next challenges with 15 min of axonal growth cone dynamic madness. F-actin (cyan) and membrane (magenta) show their dance. One image taken every 10 s.🧠🔬

Leave me alone it's #Fluorescencefriday !➡️ two axonal growth cones growing together until one got fed up of the other... #neuroscience #microscopy #liveimaging

Happy #FluorescenceFriday !
Let's celebrate with a colorful image of a developing ventral spinal cord of a 🐣 embryo.

is monday a #cilia day?
Ciliated mouse embryonic dI1 commissural neurons stained on a trunk cryosection.
dI1 neurons are shwon in grey and primary cilia are color-coded in the z-axis. Have a nice Monday you all!

Let's unleash the axonal growth cones for this #Fluorescencefriday ! #neuroscience #Liveimaging #microscopy #Axonguidance

May commissural axons find their way in here 🙏
