Lucie Jonatova (Dolezal Lab)
Brain, lymph gland lobe, ring gland and imaginal discs of
Drosophila third instar larva are in figure 1. Blue colour
presents DAPI (nuclei), green colour presents Dco protein
and red colour present Discs large (stains cell
membranes).

"The nameless mouse morula"
Mouse morula stage embryo (16-cell stage) stained with
rhodamine conjugated phalloidin (i.e. actin) and DAPI (i.e.
DNA).

“Embryonic and larval expression pattern of the nuclear
hormone receptor gene nhr-25 in the transgenic C.
elegans (nematode)”
The transgenic nematode
carries artificial copies of nhr25 gene and its regulatory
elements that were fused to
coding sequences of GFP
(Green Fluorescent Protein).
These elements drive the
expression of recombinant
(artificial)
green
NHR-25
protein specifically in the
nuclei of majority of the
epidermal
cells
during
embryonic
and
larval
development. The intensity the
green NHR-25 protein in these
cells mimics the levels of
native or endogenous NHR-25
within them. The merged
nomarski and GFP images
were
obtained
through
Olympus Confocal Microscopy
and later modified by Adobe
Photoshop.

“Towards the Brain”
Drosophila melanogaster third instar
larva: Axons (in red, Fasciclin 2) grow
from single cells in the eye disk future
photoreceptors (blue, GFP) and insert in
target lamina neurons (in green,
Dachshund) of the brain optic lobe.
