Manuela Lahne
2015 Best Biological Publication Imaging Award
The 2015 Best Biological Imaging Publication was awarded to Manuela Lahne, a Research Assistant Professor collaborating with Professor D. Hyde in the Department of Biological Sciences and the Center for Zebrafish Research.
Lahne and coworkers published a paper entitled “Actin-Cytoskeleton- and Rock-Mediated INM Are Required for Photoreceptor Regeneration in the Adult Zebrafish Retina”. The study employed regular and multiphoton confocal cell microscopy to monitor in real time the behavior of Müller glia/neuronal progenitor cells in light damaged adult zebrafish retinal cultures. Continuous live cell imaging for several hours through the retinal thickness enabled observation of Müller glia/NPC nuclei migrating from the inner to the outer nuclear layer of the retina to divide before the majority of nuclei returned to the inner nuclear layer. The study was published in J. Neurosci. 2015, 35, 15612-34.
