Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This micrograph of SHH-expressing cells in the developing 🐭 spinal cord are giving aurora borealis vibes 🌄. Notice the thin extensions reaching out from the cells at the top of the image - signaling protrusions! 🔬 by 👩‍🔬 @christinaadaly.bsky.social

This chonk waddled into the yard today like a miniature feathered Darth Vader. First time we’ve had a rusty black bird at the feeder 🪶 #YardLifer

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! I've shared this before but am reposting b/c I think the developing #lung is just so darn pretty! This is an E18.5 🐭 lung with 🟢 marking cells that express my favorite gene, Shh.🟣 marks cell membranes. 🔬 by @stjuderesearch.bsky.social postdoc👩‍🔬 @christinaadaly.bsky.social 🧪

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This is a 3D render of a confocal image of an NIH3T3 cell expressing a membrane marker 🟢 showing long filopodia called cytonemes. Cytonemes reach toward neighboring cells to exchange information. Actin is ⚪ and nuclei are 🟠. 🔬 by postdoc @christinaadaly.bsky.social.

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 🧪
