#KnowYourZDM: Humans and #zebrafish carrying mutations in VEGFC or its receptor (FLT4) have defects in the formation of their lymphatic systems, which are important for draining lymph back into the circulation system. As a result, these individuals display severe #lymphedema. 🧪

Our latest preprint! Into morphogenesis, Yap, ECM, signaling, vertex models, feedbacks/robustness? There is something here for everyone. We discovered a positive feedback loop that extends inner ear canals, and a built-in mechanism that shuts it down when morphogenesis is done. tinyurl.com/464wsjhd

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new Nature (@nature.com) paper, Miranda Hunter (@mrndhntr.bsky.social) found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2

Check this neuron infected with #SARSCoV2 being attacked by a microglia. Is this process beneficial or detrimental? Do we want therapies to inhibit microglia activation/neuroinflammation, but what if it means more neurons infecting other neurons? Neurovirology is fascinating! #FluorescenceFriday

Microscopy most especially. To be the first human to ever lay eyes on something. What a feeling.
Really just had something like this feeling this afternoon. It’s the high that keeps you coming back for more

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

New short story from my postdoc in the Bassler lab is up on bioRxiv!
Turns out our favorite quorum sensing responsive phage VP882 is a member of a larger family of phages that is distributed across multiple bacterial species and can eavesdrop on a universally conserved autoinducer.

Hey friends - Daniocell is experiencing a temporary outage right now. The NICHD server it is hosted on got dropped from the NIH’s firewall list & so currently can’t be accessed outside the NIH. The relevant IT teams are working to resolve it. Sorry for any inconvenience. It’ll be back soon!!
