Research Image Gallery

Two monocytes, with nuclei displaying the typical horseshoe shape.

3D view of human monocytes - acquired using the Leica TCS SP8 X confocal scope, and applying a Z-stack acquisition modality to grab several focal planes along the Z-axis .

Drosophila melanogaster intestine cross-section. Stained for Actin (PhTRITC- magenta), mitochondria (mito-GFP- green), and nucleus (DAPI- blue).

Hela tubulin rings induced by the anti-cancer drug Cryptophycin-52. Surfaces rendered by charge (left) and hydrophobicity (right).

Detection of Swt1 (pink), a protein that localizes in the nuclear envelope, and mitochondria (yellow) in human glomerular microvascular endothelial cells (HGMECs). DNA is in green.

A YAC-1 tumor cell stained for alpha-tubulin to mark the microtubule cytoskeleton (green), CD107a (LAMP1) a marker of lysosomes (red), and DNA using the Hoechst 33342 nuclear dye (blue).

Immunohistochemistry of oral buccal mucosa detecting Annexin 1 (magenta), Keratin 5 (red) and SLPI (green)

Immunofluoresecence of SAOS cells expressing GFP (teal) counterstained with DAPI (magenta)

Immunocytochemistry of ameloblast-like cells transfected to overexpress a mutant form of keratin 6 (red) associated with dental cavities. Counterstained with phalloidin (white) and Dapi (blue).

Whole-mount, fluorescence immunohistochemistry of mouse back skin. Blood vessels labelled with an anti-CD31 (PECAM-1, Platelet and Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule 1) antibody (grey), vSMCs (vascular Smooth Muscle Cells) labelled with an anti-aSMA (alph
