Priyom's preprint is out on biorxiv. See below for a detailed thread. In a nutshell, she has discovered and characterized the oscillator that times notochord and spine segmentation in zebrafish. Turns out that there are uniform Erk oscillations across the entire tissue that act as timekeepers!
Building a spine is no joke, but thankfully zebrafish have their own clocks to keep the pace. Excited to share our preprint on the role of biological oscillators in coordinating notochord development! (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...)

1/27 We have a new paper out! Turns out that snowflake yeast have been hiding a secret from us - they've evolved a (very!) crude circulatory system. Not with blood vessels or a heart, but through spontaneous fluid flows powered by their metabolism. 🧪🔬

Another excellent opportunity to share some new ideas and thoughts about my ongoing research on renal physiology!

It’s high time to tinker about electrophysiology, cardiology as well as neurobiology! 🤓

Super excited to wrap up the spring quarter as the last seminar speaker at UCSD Bioengineering!

I’m thrilled to meet Shu Chien this morning, and looking forward to more discussions this afternoon.

I have been selected by the UCLA Molecular Biology Institute for the 2025 Boyer/Parvin Posteoctoral Award. 🥳🥳🥳

Initiated by Paul Boyer since his Nobel Prize in 1997, this honor is now supported by the Parvin foundation to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Boyer, beyond ATP synthase and the sodium pump.

Constantly mind-blowing to learn how mitochondria adapt bioenergetically during “intensive exercise”, especially in the case of long-distance avian migration!
The yellow-rumped warbler, also known as the butterbutt, is a versatile forager, catching bugs in spring and eating berries in fall. A recent study of the bird has shown how mitochondria transform when birds migrate. www.quantamagazine.org/turbocharged...

Such an introspective conversation about the cognitive process of scientific inquiries! From a scientist who never fails to inspire.

It's fun to read about the scientific journey of Dr. Correa and her work. Truly delighted to have such role models in the department at UCLA.
Our latest profile is here! Dr. Stephanie Correa studies how reproductive hormones regulate development and neural circuits for temperature and energy balance. Click the link below to listen and learn more!

Milestones is an annual publication covering the exciting research performed at the National Cancer Institute, NIH. This year, my group is honored to be included!
It's truly a privilege to work with @poratshliomlab.bsky.social at NIH/NCI on understanding metabolic multi-tasking at the tissue level, in the liver and in the kidney.

Congrats to the entire lab for the highlight (on p.20) as well as the stunning cover image! 🎉

Is liver zonation conserved from mice to humans? And how does fibrosis affect zonation in patients? Now, these questions are answered using scDVP. Some collaborations are meant to be! @carolineweiss.bsky.social@frosenberger.bsky.social @mannlab.bsky.social@mlsb-borgwardt.bsky.social
