Glad to share our latest work showing that #drosophila epigenetic enzyme TET controls muscle development independently of its catalytic activity but prevents muscle aging in a catalytic-dependent manner!
Congratulations to Vincent and Emilie @igred.fr !

From MRI to Ozempic: breakthroughs that show why fundamental research must be protected
Nature - In these financially straitened times, funders must recognize that great discoveries often arise from work that was looking for something completely different.

We've just been awarded a grant to study the cellular basis of regeneration – to track the progenitors of sensory organs in the context of leg regeneration, in our favourite crustacean tinyurl.com/parhyale, based on live imaging and cell tracking.

Excited to share our last paper describing how intestinal stem cell migration promotes gut regeneration!
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Pvf1-Pvr-mediated crosstalk between trachea and gut guides intestinal stem cell migration to promote gut regeneration - Nature Communications
Adult stem cells often reside in specialized niches that they exit upon injury. Here they show that in Drosophila, after damage the gut-associated trachea produces the PDGF-VEGF-related ligand Pvf1, which acts as a guidance cue directing ISC migration toward injury sites.

Dear JEDIs,
as we are self-organizing using the #EDRC as a nucleator we decided it is time for a JEDI database to boost our network! If you identify as a JEDI, please contact us here or send a mail to katja.rust@uni-marburg.de to be added to our database.
