Happy Fluorescent Friday!
Isn't the gut a beautiful thing?

Happy Fluorescence Friday!
It’s our first fluorescent image of the new year, showing off the overlooked beauty of the colon.

Immunofluorescence image of mouse colon highlighting apical membrane markers including: yellow/orange-ish is gamma actin which is enriched in microvilli. Purple/magenta is p-glycoprotein or MDR1 which is also apical and teal is the molecular motor Myosin 5b. nuclei are visualized in white.

Do your cells ever stare back at you? 💀

Immunofluorescence staining of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK-2) infected with Influenza A Virus (white), highlighted by cell membrane (magenta). Faces added for fun 👻

📸Kristen Engevik
🔬@nikoninstruments
Imaged using @ibidicells µ-Slide 8 well chambers

MDCK cells are a standard cell line used to propagate influenza viruses and allow us to study influenza infection. Influenza viruses are responsible for the flu, a highly infectious respiratory illness that can lead to hospitalization, permanent disability, or death. Influenza A Viruses are known to have caused pandemics and are considered the most harmful of influenza viruses due to the virus’ ability to cause severe disease. MDCK cells offer an important platform to increase our understanding of influenza viral-cell interactions and the mechanisms by which influenza viruses infect and affect host cells, which ultimately causes pathophysiology.

🔬 @leica.microsystems

On our feed, we let the beauty & wonder of our science speak for itself.
However, given the current uncertainty around funding in the U.S., we want to highlight why science matters. Our images are more than just visually striking—they offer insights into gut function and how it adapts in both beneficial and harmful ways during disease.

We believe science is for everyone: it improves our lives & keeps us safe. While science & research are not perfect (nothing in life is), they are essential for the health of our communities, our country, and the world. We stand in support of science & we hope you do too.
