A look at the developing human embryonic forebrain in 3D!

Post-doc @stochastalive.bsky.social shares this week's image showing a dorsal view of the human embryonic forebrain at Carnegie Stage 16 (~6 weeks post conception). Major regions marked by FOXG1, WNT8B, PAX6, and SHH are displayed.

Another week, another Houart lab image🔬

This week, it's a 3D image of a multiplex, in-situ of a chick forebrain by @danafd.bsky.social who studies early forebrain development in vertebrates & uses HCR to show the expression patterns of gene products instrumental in pallial/subpallial specification.

This week's image is by @joseriveraz.bsky.social who's tracing the lineage of progenitors in the human developing cortex.

Here, José shows the building blocks of the developing cortex at 10pcw with SOX2 (apical progenitors), CTIP2 & TBR1(neuronal markers), NESTIN (radial glial fibers), and DAPI.
