Never really said this clearly before, even though it seems obvious "asymmetric division sustains stem cell heterogeneity" is now out. Huge credit to our former grad student Burak for driving this, and to Boris Slepchenko, a best collaborator nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

Asymmetric division sustains stem cell heterogeneity in the Drosophila testicular niche

Communications Biology - Mathematical modeling of the Drosophila testis stem-cell niche reveals how asymmetric division of stem cells delays clonal expansion and preserves stem cell heterogeneity.

Plasticity and stringency: rethinking stem cell division modes

Asymmetric cell division (ACD) has been extensively studied in various stem cell systems as a fundamental mechanism that ensures the balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. ACD...

New preprint from the lab! We explore how a single niche signal can have two distinct effects. Check it out! Brinker regulates reciprocal outcomes of BMP signal between stem cells and differentiating cells biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Brinker regulates reciprocal outcomes of BMP signal between stem cells and differentiating cells

Drosophila male germline stem cells (GSCs) reside at the testis tip, surrounding a cluster of niche cells known as the hub. Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) ligands secreted from the hub exert both...

Distinct functions of three Wnt proteins control mirror-symmetric organogenesis in the C. elegans...

The mirror-symmetric structure of the Caenorhabditis elegans gonad is established through the Wnt-independent function of a Frizzled protein and three Wnt proteins with distinct roles.

Published: our study on a new Drosophila gene Moat shows strong polarity-based junctions allow weak myosin to promote productive apical constriction, leading to ectopic folding of ectodermal anterior midgut (ectoAMG). The ectopic folding requires Baz/Par3. molbiolcell.org/doi/full/10.…

Many faculty members across the country have signed statements in support of students' right to protest. We invite our members to do the same. The statement is in the link below. forms.gle/txioqSa4raRuoSR79

In Solidarity with Student Activists

Currently, students, faculty, and university staff across the United States are being targeted for their righteous activism, protest, and speech in defense of Palestinian life. This generation of...
