Dr. Andy Groves, professor and Vivian L. Smith Endowed Chair in Neuroscience at Baylor Faculty of Medication, and Dr. Ankita Thawani, a postdoctoral affiliate within the Groves lab, examine developmental processes and in a latest publication within the journal Development they report figuring out Foxi3 as a needed think about mouse mind improvement.
The video of the month comes from this work. It exhibits the placement of Foxi3 within the creating mouse embryo.
The video exhibits an entire embryo stained for Foxi3-GFP (inexperienced), SOX2 (pink) and DAPI (blue). The highest half of the egg form is extraembryonic tissue, backside half is embryonic. Video courtesy of the authors/Development, 2023.
