Ah, sorry I was not clear: the mRNA encodes a membrane bound fluorescent protein. The embryo translates the mRNA and makes itself fluorescent! The full protocol for this particular time-lapse is in the supplementary material of this publication doi.org/10.3389/fcel...

It has a blue background, on the left-hand side, a portrait of man wearing a dark polo shirt in front of a seaside background. On the right-hand side, text reads: MICHAEL SARS SYMPOSIUM 2025 Decoding signals and unveiling architectures, from molecules to organisms Lesson in developmental biology from evolutionary experiments in body plans Chris Lowe Stanford University June 6, 2025, Media City Bergen At the bottom, the logo of the Michael Sars Centre, of the University of Bergen, of EMBL preceded by the mention 'Partner of', and the hashtag MSS2025.
One month to go until #MSS2025 π Chris Lowe @lowelab.bsky.social is on our exciting speaker lineup. He will present his latest work on the developmental patterning of the echinoderm adult body plan, and how it informs basic principles in #evodevo. Don't miss out! β‘οΈ tinyurl.com/yc4jxdvz
