New paper alert!🤩Super proud that our story led by superstar postdocs @liujinghui.bsky.social and @nerlielisa.bsky.social is finally out! We found how electrical signals are key for promoting organ regenerative growth!!! A thread 🧵https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aec0687
Injury-induced electrochemical coupling triggers organ growth
Organ repair and growth rely on coupling tissue-wide membrane depolarization with intracellular proliferative signaling.

Mammalian cells labeled with lysotracker are perfect for teaching live cell imaging.
Minimal preparation, always works, and, as a bonus, results in nice data for #FluorescenceFriday

How do cells orchestrate themselves to achieve a directional movement as a group?

Hi, I’m @sayukihirano.bsky.social. In this thread, I’ll highlight key mechanisms of how cells communicate with each other to perform directional collective migration.
