We had a fun week in the lab getting hands-on time with our new light sheet microscope from Bruker luxendo! Thank you to Jan Frankowski and the rest of the Bruker team for their time, expertise, and support. We’re excited about this partnership and looking forward to what’s next

Jenna’s work with Dr. Cole Vonder Haar focused on using ΔFosB to better understand sustained neuronal activation and adaptation following traumatic brain injury, with a particular interest in how post-injury circuit remodeling contributes to persistent behavioral impairments.

This 3D visualization, captured on a #Zeiss lightsheet, shows Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) and smooth muscle actin (SMA) staining across an intact mouse kidney cleared with our Universal Tissue Clearing Kit!

Whole-organ imaging preserves the spatial relationship between these structures across the kidney, providing robust anatomical context that is difficult to capture from isolated sections alone. #tissueclearing #zeiss #lightsheet #3d
