Organoid Oasis
ALI (AirโLiquid Interface) is a strategy for generating organoids from minced tissue, offering the advantage of preserving both tissue parenchyma and stroma.
Epithelial cells: EpCAM (green,AF555)
Immune cells: CD45 (cyan,FITC)
Fibroblasts: ฮฑ-SMA (magenta,AF647)
Nuclei: DAPI (blue)
๐ง โจ
Neural stem cells were cultured adherent on Matrigel and then fixed with 4% PFA. The samples were stained with DAPI and TOM20.
After staining, a 4ร expansion microscopy protocol was applied. Samples were imaged using a Zeiss LSM980 Airyscan confocal microscope with a 40ร water-immersion obj.
VGlut2 marks thalamic axon terminals whose projections onto the cortex form circular structures โbarrelsโ, characteristic of somatosensory cortex.
Syt2 labels axon terminals of parvalbumin neurons, corresponding to inhibitory synapses that play crucial role in maintaining balanced neuronal activity.
๐ง ๐ Developing Connectivity in the Mouse Brain
Parvalbumin marks a small subset of cortical interneurons (โ10%) essential for proper brain development and closely linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.
Tittle: Fan-nomenal Structure
Imaged using ZEISS LS Z.1 with a 20x objective (NA 1.0, WD 1.8 mm, RI 1.33; W Plan-Apochromat). The Coral was cleared using 2ECi and stained with Propidium iodide. Final image consists of multiple tile stitching, deconvolution and 3D rendering (ZEISS Arivis Pro 4.3.0).
๐ Another stunning image to the REMOA Image Contest!
