Happy Halloween month edition of #MicroscopyMonday! Am I the only one who thinks this cell looks like Slimer from Ghostbusters? This is a confocal image of a SHH-expressing fibroblast with long cytonemes reaching toward neighboring cells 🔬 by @stjuderesearch.bsky.social grad student Christina Wang 🧪

Happy #MicroscopyMonday! Here is a 🔬 image of epithelial cells of the embryonic 🐭 lung expressing a membrane-GFP reporter for my favorite signaling protein, Sonic Hedgehog (SHH). Non-SHH expressing cells are shown with magenta membrane stain. 🔬 by @christinaadaly.bsky.social 🧪 #DevBio

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam

I still love it...listened to it on the way into work today.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Here is a section from an E9.5 mouse embryo showing SHH-expressing cells (membrane GFP in rainbow depth shading) near the notochord (bottom of frame). Notice the cool extensions (maybe cytonemes) coming from the GFP marked cells! 🔬 by postdoc @christinaadaly.bsky.social 🧪

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This is a sagittal view of the Shh-expressing notochord and floor plate of an E9.5 mouse embryo. Both structures are 🟢. Non-Shh expressing cells are shown with membrane 🟣. Nuclei are shown in 🔵. 🧪 🔬 Microscopy by postdoc Christina Daly 👩‍🔬 @christinaadaly.bsky.social
