Combining new preservation and microscopy approaches the lab will focus on understanding how cytonemes (signaling filopodia) regulate intercellular signaling during development and disease!

#2024SDB was fantastic! Thank you @SocDevBio and everyone involved in organizing the meeting. Being able to share the work from the @lab_ogden and have great discussions after was fantastic. The SDB community is full of amazing and supportive scientists! Everyone should join!
Congrats to ⁦@Eric_T_Hall⁩ of ⁦@lab_ogden⁩ for best postdoc talk at #2024SDB ⁦@SocDevBio⁩ Gorgeous data and he is on the job market so invite him and see it for yourself!

Im trying to make heads or tails of my FLIM-FRET efficiency data from live imaging over time with multiple focal planes. Does anyone have any advice for visualization output?

Congratulations, Esther! You have been a fantastic positive force for so many of us!
I feel very honoured to be selected for this award. It is deeply touching to feel that I could make a positive impact on my trainees. I feel fortunate to have worked with such great people, and to continue to have the privilege of supervising the next generation of students.

I’m about to head into the @BMCDB graduate #DevBio class @ucdavis where we will talk about this paper from @lab_ogden! It’s such gorgeous work and fits so well with the foundational SHH patterning lectures I give in the class. 🤩😍

For #MicroscopyMonday here is a solarized SEM of the neural tube lumen with added hedgehogs! In our latest work from the @lab_ogden we found cytonemes carry Sonic Hedgehog proteins across the neural tube for cell fate patterning. Check out the paper! cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Have we now reached a point where we can seriously question diffusion-based, long-range signalling? Is there actually any good evidence, or is everything just based on assumptions? See also: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
