LysoDC étendant une dendrite dans l’intestin d’une souris

In a Peyer's patch (one of the constituents of the lymphoid tissue associated with the intestine) in a mouse, a dendritic cell expressing lysozyme (also known as LysoDC) sends a dendrite via a transcellular pore in an M cell to sense light inside the intestine, observed using confocal microscopy. Immunofluorescent marking shows the dendritic cells in cyan, the lysozyme in yellow, the M cells in magenta, the T lymphocytes in red, and lastly, the epithelial basement membrane and vessels in green.

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
