Check it out at PNAS today. Thank you Alexandre for the collaboration!!
PK Mem probes offer long time-lapse imaging of cell membrane dynamics. Made possible by Jing Ling, Yitong Liu, and all the collaborators!

Thrilled to collaborate with @zhixingchen2.bsky.social Lab @pku1898.bsky.social ! We tested new PK Mem dyes—gentle, photostable tools to label the plasma membrane in live neurons, making it easier to track growth cone motility & axonal transport. #liveimaging #neuroscience tiny.cc/3qhp001

Thanks Luc! and yes it is! 😉

Here’s an embryonic axonal growth cone labeled with PK Mem dye (red) and tubulin (blue), imaged every 2 seconds. 🤩

Hot off the press: The excellent Maheva Andriatsilavo and colleagues show how a temporal sequence of stochastic molecular mechanisms allow the emergence of stereotyped individualised neuronal circuits. Just published in Nature Neuroscience: rdcu.be/ek010
Sequential and independent probabilistic events regulate differential axon targeting during development in Drosophila melanogaster
Nature Neuroscience - The developmental origin of behavioral individuality is unclear. The authors show that a temporal sequence of genetically encoded stochastic mechanisms explains variation in...

New from the lab: @maheandria.bsky.social and colleagues in collaboration with the Hiesinger, Stoeckli and von Kleist labs dissect the sequential emergence of axonal targeting during development in today's issue of Nature Neuroscience: rdcu.be/ek010

cool! here are chick commissural axons crossing the neural tube floor plate :): bsky.app/profile/axon...
May commissural axons find their way in here 🙏 #Microscopy #LiveImaging #AxonGuidance #Neuroscience

Hi Erica, thanks! for 2D cultures: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... for 3D cultures: www.frontiersin.org/journals/mol... for live imaging I used 8-well IBIDI μ-slides with same PLL/Laminin coating and the same medium as in the JCS paper. Cheers Alex
The SynCAM synaptic cell adhesion molecules are involved in sensory axon pathfinding by regulating axon–axon contacts
ABSTRACT. Synaptic cell adhesion molecules (SynCAMs) are crucial for synapse formation and plasticity. However, we have previously demonstrated that SynCAMs are also required during earlier stages of ...

These ones are growing in a dish, but in a developing embryo or brain, each growth cone would be sniffing its way through a complex molecular terrain, often over long distances to find its correct synaptic partners.
