Integrated stress response (ISR), an evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic stress-adaptive program in eukaryotes, has also been implicated in homeostatic functions. This review covers a broad body of l....

new review alert❗️

thought your neighborhood stress response pathway (ISR) only dealt in stress adaptation? well, maybe so. but many cells are apparently quite “stressed out” - even healthy ones.

see quoted thread by my phenom co-author @shyama13.bsky.social for a summary! ⬇️

Closing out the year with a new pre-print! Here, we show that the stress response factor Atf4 is more abundant in female vs male fat (likely directly Doublesex-regulated). This dimorphism renders females more resilient to starvation-induced death. Lots of follow-up work to come!
Sexually dimorphic ATF4 expression in the fat confers female stress tolerance in Drosophila melanogaster https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.27.630478v1

Our paper, identifying all the cell types in the Drosophila melanogaster female reproductive tract (uterus, female-limited glands, sperm storage organs) is out today! We used single-nuclei RNA sequencing and a lot of in situ cross-validation www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2409850121 🪰 🧬🧪 1/n

If that wasn’t exciting enough, feast your eyes on the C15 stain in the developing female terminal - very fitting for the Halloween season. Have fun reading!

Thank you @mcgregorlab.bsky.social for the support and guidance during this project. It was a blast!
