✨Take a look at this stunning confocal image of a mouse duodenum intestinal organoid!

⚪White: Cell nuclei stained with DAPI
🟡Yellow: Filamentous actin (cytoskeleton) marked by phalloidin
🟣Purple: Mucin 2, a major gel-forming mucin from goblet cells, detected using a MUC2-specific antibody and Alexa Fluor™ 594

This organoid was grown in Matrigel, fixed after the first passage, and captured using the Nikon AX/R confocal microscope. Notice the vibrant mucin signal in goblet cells and the organoid lumen—shedding light on intestinal epithelial biology!

Ovarian follicles 🥚 (tiny fluid‑filled structures that nurture developing eggs) are influenced not only by biochemical signals, but also by the physical mechanics of their surroundings.

A recent Nature Communications study from the group of Joe Chan at the Mechanobiology Institute of National University of Singapore reveals that surface stiffness and internal compressive stress play key roles in coordinating mammalian follicle development. By altering the follicle’s mechanical environment, researchers could influence growth patterns, tissue organization, and developmental outcomes ⚙️

Understanding how physical forces affect reproductive biology could improve fertility treatments, advance ovarian tissue engineering, and deepen our insight into organ development.
