Comparison of High-Resolution (8 μm) and More Rapid (27 μm) Virtual Histology Techniques(A–D) Wild-type E12.5 embryo scanned at 8-μm resolution. (A) Orientation of the planes of section. (B) Sagittal plane. (C) Coronal plane. (D) Axial plane.(E–H) The same embryo as in (A–D), scanned by a more rapid protocol at 27-μm resolution. Most of the features present at 8-μm resolution are also appreciable at the lower 27-μm resolution.(I–P) Comparison of segmentation analysis of cardiac chambers for the 8-μm and 27-μm scans, respectively. The right atrium is teal, the right ventricle is blue, the left atrium is pink, the left ventricle is red, and the cardiac wall is transparent grey. A region of the right atrium that could not be segmented on the 27-μm scan is shown with a white asterisk (*).Scale bars in panels (B) and (F) represent 1.2 mm. Movies of sagittal, coronal, and axial planes corresponding to panels (B–D) are presented as Videos S1, S2, and S3.a, cardiac atrium; cc, central canal of the neural tube; fl, forelimb; sc, semicircular canal; v, cardiac ventricle.

Phenotyping of Mutant Transgenic Embryos Using Segmentation AnalysisWild-type E11.5 embryo (A–E) compared to a mutant littermate (F–J) that expresses the Pax3:Fkhr oncogene in neural crest and myogenic tissue. (A and F) Isosurface renderings.(B–E) and (G–J) Segmentation renderings of cranial neural crest (grey), brain vesicles (red), liver (brown), cardiac muscle (blue), and the conotruncal cavity (red within the blue cardiac muscle). From the segmented renderings, the mutant embryo is noted to have partial neural tube closure failure resulting in absence of the hindbrain vesicle, overgrown midbrain mesenchyme (mm), as well as severely hypomorphic telencephalic vesicles (fv, shown in red). Movies of rotating renderings for mutant and wild-type embryos are presented as Videos S4 and S5.(K and L) MicroCT axial sections of the neural tube at the level of the forelimbs (dorsal surface is up) from wild-type and control embryos, respectively. Magnification of the neural tube is shown in the upper right insets of each panel. The sulcus limitans, which separates the dorsal and ventral neural tube, is shown as a red line. Severe blunting of the dorsal neural tube is evident in the mutant embryo.(M and N) Axial confocal microscopy sections from embryos of the same genotype and developmental stage as the corresponding axial cross-section as in panels (K and L), respectively. Sections were stained with the Pax7 immunohistochemical marker of the dorsal neural tube. Pax7-stained cells of the dorsal neural tube and flanking dermomyotome are white. The sulcus limitans is shown as a red line, confirming the dorsal neural tube blunting seen in the microCT sections.Scale bars in panels (B) and (F) are each 1.2 mm.

What is the central feature of this picture?
Femtosecond laser ablation. A. Diagram of laser surgery setup. Amplified femtosecond laser pulses are tightly focused by an objective lens (1.4 NA) to dissect targets positioned with a three-dimensional piezoelectric stage and visualized by fluorescence microscopy. B. DiO-stained amphid dendrites before and after severing the middle dendrite using 3-nJ pulses without visibly affecting neighboring dendrites as close as 500 nm away. C. An example of a GFP-labeled AFD dendrite retracting after surgery using 6-nJ pulses. D. Confocal microscope image showing GFP-labeled AFD neurons the day after surgically severing one dendrite. The position of the cut along the dendrite is representative of all experiments. E. Phasmid DiO (pre-surgery) and DiI (post-surgery) staining 24 hours after surgery of the PHA dendrite. The PHA cell body does not absorb DiI because it is physically disconnected from its sensory endings. The cut in the dendrite is indicated with the arrow.

The same region imaged with 488 nm excitation light shows the specific green fluorescence of the sporozoites (arrows) as well as the auto-fluorescent tissue. See also movie 1. (C) Three time-lapse images taken 3 seconds apart show the passive movement of sporozoites within the haemolymph of the mosquito tibia. The color image represents three images taken 3 seconds apart, pseudo-colored and overlayed to illustrate the movement of the sporozoites (see also movie 2).

Measurements of tumor growth were taken at 10 days by ultrasound examination and at 14 days by histological sectioning of the mandible-tongue complex in the coronal plane (bar is 1 mm in coronal sections or 100 μM in histology) (A). Greatest cross sectional tumor area measurements were compared (B) for both groups. C, percent tumor formation in the orthotopic SCID mouse model over the two week observation period was equal to the number of tumors formed divided by number of mice (one injection per mouse with least 10 mice were injected per group).

(A) The immunofluorescence assay using anti-cytokeratin antibodies showing a positive staining of the 8d-old monolayer of the CPEC (scale bar 10 μm). (B) Transmission electron micrographs of cultured CPE cells demonstrating the ultrastructural features of a polarized epithelial cell monolayer such as a tightly apposed lateral membrane with complex apical junctions organized as a tight junction (TJ) association and complex lateral interdigitations (LI) at the basolateral side (scale bar 0.01 μm, magnification 125.000 ×). (C) Scanning electron micrograph showing a number of processes on the CPEC side which faced apical (upper) chamber (scale bar 2 μm, magnification 6000 ×). (D) Eight-day-old CPE cells grown on laminin-coated filters were stained with primary antibodies against occludin and then with FITC conjugated secondary antibodies. A continuous circumferential distribution of fluorescence consistent with the establishment of TJs in CPEC monolayers is shown. Scale bar 20 μm.

What can you see in this picture?
Thalidomide attenuates NO mediated migration in ECs: After the wound was created in confluent ECs, they were treated with 500μM SNP (NO donor) and incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C/5% CO2. Next, the cells were treated with 75 μg/ml thalidomide and incubated for another 15 minutes. Images of the wound-edge were taken at 0 minutes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes with a 40× magnification objective lens mounted on Nikon TE2000-U inverted microscope. Arrows indicate the growing phases of the wounds after 15 minutes of incubation with SNP. Arrows in the middle panel indicates the growing phase of ECs under thalidomide treatment, while thalidomide arrests the SNP mediated migration of the cells after 15 minutes of thalidomide treatments (white arrows in the right panel).

No effect of either thalidomide or SNP was observed on the structure and morphology of the tube and the cells as well. However, thalidomide blocked the formation of filopodia, replacing them with broader protrusions on EC surface (arrows in the right panel).

Histograms give percent BOLD signal change relative to mean of session for the local maxima of identified clusters. Red and blue columns refer to left- and right-hand maps, respectively. Column height gives data averaged across participants and error bar ± 1SEM ( n = 16). Coordinates (X, Y, Z in MNI stereotaxic space) and t (30) values for the maxima are presented below each histogram.
