BeWo choriocarcinoma cells stained with phalloidin (magenta) to reveal the actin cytoskeleton, dapi (yellow) show the nuclei, PKH26-labeled extracellular vesicles (blue). 630x magnification using a ZEISS LSM880 confocal microscope with Airyscan with help from Dr. Velislava Tzaneva. This was work from my Ph.D studies at the University of Ottawa under the supervision of Dr. Kristi Adamo.

Representative hematoxylin and eosin stained tissue section of gestational day 14.5 mouse placenta. From the bottom working upwards, you can see the visceral and parietal yolk sacs, chorionic plate, labyrinth zone, junctional zone, and decidua basalis. This was work from my MSc studies at Queen's University under the supervision of Dr. Anne Croy.

Shown is a immunohistochemically-stained placenta tissue section close-up of a mouse infected with Salmonella typhimurium. A 400x magnification image is shown of the chorionic plate and specifically, the infection and destruction of the mouse yolk sac, with a foci of immune cells at the site of destruction. The brown depicts anti-Salmonella LPS endotoxin with a blue hematoxylin counterstain. This was work from my MSc studies at Queen's University under the supervision of Dr. Anne Croy.

Shown is a immunohistochemically-stained placenta tissue section close-up of a mouse infected with Salmonella typhimurium. A 200x magnification image is shown of the placental labyrinth, the normal site of maternal-fetal exchange. The brown depicts anti-Salmonella LPS endotoxin with a blue hematoxylin counterstain. Brown foci are seen within the fetal capillaries, indicating the infection was concentrated within the fetus and fetal circulation. Dilated maternal blood spaces (concentrations of enucleated red cells) can be seen abutting the infected and destroyed fetal capillaries. This was work from my MSc studies at Queen's University under the supervision of Dr. Anne Croy.
