Working on this paper has been one of the highlights of my career. I am so extremely thankful to the scientists, transplant surgeons, & staff who made this work possible, & to the organ donors & their families for the gift of life. @UTDPainCenter @UTDPainLab @SWTransplant

Our findings link a 100-year-old structure to neurodegeneration and pain in DPN.

Diabetic painful neuropathy (DPN) is the most common form of neuropathic pain which is accompanied by shooting pain and sensory deficits. In our new preprint, we found a unique pathology in human dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) from organ donors with DPN. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@ksluka0101 @UIowa_PAIN @UTDPainLab Thank you for the invitation! I had a wonderful time visiting with you all!

@UTDPainCenter @JulietMwirigi @UTDPainLab Congrats again! I'm so proud of you! Dr. Mwirigi! 👩🏾‍🔬🎉💥

I’m so honored and thankful (and internally freaking out from all this joy😁) to be featured on Evident Scientific’s @Evident_LS Discovery Blog! Check it out for cover art tips and tricks! olympus-lifescience.com/en/discovery/b… #WomenInSTEM

@JulietMwirigi giving an awesome talk on axonal mitochrondial dynamics in peripheral neuropathy! @pns2022, with @UTDPainLab moderating!

Cool time lapse at The Knob. Woods Hole, MA.

My view today at the Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy conference in Woods Hole, MA 😍

Working on some pretty mouse brain staining 😊

@achamess Could it be that the block is just too cold? What your describing also happens if the chamber and chuck holder is too cold. I'd increase the temp to like -18 to start and place your palm briefly against the specimen to lightly warm it to see if it improves.

@sshiers1 Extremely brittle. It makes a horrible grinding sound and doesn't slice well. Just chips off. Also there is a really terrible freeze damage in the middle of the tissue. Not all of them have this.

Has anyone ever had issues with isopentane causing OCT to dry out? #immunohistochemistry @sshiers1
