| Research Focus & Application: |
| |
The research focus of my lab is the establishment and remodeling of synaptic connections between motor neurons and muscle fibers.
| Microscopy and Imaging Methods: |
| |
We use a ZEISS LSM 510 Meta because of its ability to image multiple colors at high resolution. | | A single nerve branch exits a major motor nerve to innervate a muscle fiber in the lateral body wall region of a Drosophila larva.
Immunohistochemical staining using antibodies against the cytoskeletal protein Futsch (green, Alexa488) and the Drosophila vesicular glutamate transporter DVGLUT (red, Cy3). |
