Excited to announce our new paper on variably-penetrant zebrafish phenotypes, depending on where the fish are housed. An excellent model for gene-environment interactions and assessing facility conditions! doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.70003. @TravisKJohnson @SABE_latrobe @MAPP_latrobe

Loss of the epithelial transcription factor grhl3 leads to variably penetrant developmental...

Deletion of Grainyhead-like 3 (grhl3) in zebrafish leads to 3 distinct axialbody development phenotypes, of varying severity. These phenotypes vary depending on the housing environment of the...

Researchers have long known that diet had a role to play in treating Inherited Metabolic Disorders. The problem is that each one is unique — so rare, that medicine did not have the tools to develop new treatments. Enter the fruit fly. brnw.ch/21wHOB8 @TravisKJohnson

I'm proud of every paper, but this one is special. Here with PiperLab @MonashBiol, we couple the power of #Drosophila with a completely synthetic diet to find potential treatments for rare inherited metabolic disorders @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU #RareDiseaseDay2024 🧵

Excited to share news of our new paper in Development, highlighting a novel tissue fusion mechanism in mouse: doi.org/10.1242/dev.202420. Well done to the team, especially @DrMdeVries and @JarradFuller for your hard work in getting this done!

Grainyhead-like 2 interacts with noggin to regulate tissue fusion in mouse

Summary: Genetic reduction of elevated noggin expression in Grhl2−/− embryos leads to rescue of epithelial morphology and partially restores maxillary prominence size and neural tube closure.
