In vivo estrogen imaging is here! Construct is up on addgene, and lots of other imaging constructs are currently in validation. Get in touch if you want advice about how to set up. We are happy to help! Thanks so much to @alleninstitute.org and @onemindorg.bsky.social for their support 😍

Extremely proud to share @acara333.bsky.social and my new paper, out today in @cp-neuron.bsky.social, where we develop a new fluorescent reporter of neural responses to estrogen! 🔬 paper 📝: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... addgene page 🧬: www.addgene.org/254753/ #neuroskyence 🧪 1/10

graphical abstract of the manuscript depicting pink estrogen-sensitive neurons with a subset of their nuclei colored in green. These green nuclei represent estrogen receptor dependent neural gene transcription, tracked via the expression of a destabilized GFP with a 2 hour half-life. At top, in green is shown a cartoon of the neural response to estrogen across two estrous cycles, and below there is a cartoon of a mouse implanted with an optic fiber for in vivo imaging.

If anyone doing Alzehiemer's research is looking for a talented post-doc, please contact me at vanveen@UCLA.edu . Due to a recent unexpected death, a successful post-doc in my home department is on the job market
