Fluorescence Friday - DNA-PAINT imaging of axon initial segment TRIM46 ('cyan') and bIV spectrin ('red') by the incomparable Allison Melton in my laboratory. Just spectacular!
In the desert of tools to manipulate oligodendrocytes in the brain, we built an OASIS. 🌿 Pun intended. I’m still in awe every time I spot an amazing-looking cell. The beauty of OL and myelin never fails me! Hope this tool helps more people see it too.

1/ In March 2023, I received a lumbar puncture. This was key to receiving my chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy #cidp diagnosis. This 🧵 is on my experience with identifying and treating #autoimmunedisease. I'll also be sharing some 🧵s I posted previously on the Other Place.
A sad/happy day. Today Yuki Ogawa leaves my lab to start his own lab at the University of South Carolina. Yuki joined my lab in 2017. It is impossible to overstate how he has impacted the lab for good. He will be a fantastic mentor and leader. Watch close! He will do great things!
