Sea star oocytes during germinal vesicle breakdown
Triggered by 1-methyladenine, these ~150 µm oocytes show nuclear changes and protein phosphorylation—key to studying cell cycle control.
Frog oocytes during progesterone-induced germinal vesicle breakdown
Xenopus oocytes (~1.5 mm) show yolk release and nuclear membrane loss, marking a key phase in cell cycle regulation.
3D projection showing astrocytes and arterioles via fluorescent markers
GFAP/EGFP highlights astrocytes; Rhod-2-AM reveals arterioles—demonstrating selective loading in brain tissue.
Two-photon Ca²⁺ uncaging triggers astrocyte Ca²⁺ wave
Targeted DMNP-EDTA uncaging initiates a Ca²⁺ wave, tracked with Rhod-2, across the astrocyte syncytium.
