Congratulations #AChemS2025 Polak Young Investigator Award Winners!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! This award will give me strength and passion to figure out more mysteries of gustatory neuroscience! @achems.bsky.social @iusm-medneuro.bsky.social

Has anyone used a mRNA/RNA Fluorescent in situ Hybridization probe (RNAscope) to visualize axon filaments or axon terminals? #axonterminal #mRNA #neuroscience

Some dreams are worth the long wait and hard work! Thank you @achems.bsky.social

Some Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG), recorded on a cold Saturday morning!

Pierchala lab (minus one member) had our annual Christmas dinner along with a Duckpin bowling session!

Who is copying whom?? First one is a Nebula, second one is a mouse taste bud! #neuroscience #astronomy

On this #FluorescenceFriday, I am going back to my base, that is Taste Receptor Cells in the taste buds! In this super-resolution image, you can see some taste cells (blue), neural innervation (green), and post-synaptic neurotransmitter receptor puncta (red)! Published last year in @pnas.org

Hello science 🦋 world! Can anybody share a reliable ethyl cinnamte-based tissue clearing method/protocol for craniofacial tissues and/or muscular tissues like heart or tongue? TIA. #tissueclearing #microscopy #lightsheetmicroscopy

Understanding how to make bitter medicines more tolerable for children is essential, especially for kids who need them for their health. Bitter tastes often lead to non-compliance😖, but researchers are finding solutions! 💡

“Did anyone say Broccoli 🥦?” Here is my second entry to #FluorescenceFriday on this site, as suggested by @wesstans.bsky.social! This is a picture of Geniculate Ganglion on postnatal day 14, showing neurons in green, maker of oral sensory neurons PHOX2B in red, and EdU in blue! #neuroscience

Pierchala lab is having a great month! 2nd paper of the month! Congratulations @wesstans.bsky.social! www.frontiersin.org/journals/neu... #ALS #neuroscience #spinalcord #neurodegenerativedisease

First try at #FluorescenceFriday on this platform! Mechanosensory fiber network in duodenal villi! #mechanosensation #neuroscience

Interested in knowing how postnatal neurogenesis in peripheral nervous system stretches way longer than previously reported and how this postnatal neurogenesis depends on apoptosis, read our new paper published in Biology Open! #neurogenesis #apoptosis #PNS journals.biologists.com/bio/article/...
