Who would have thought epithelial cells set cortical tension using information from a cell surface receptor? See our bioRxiv preprint for details - biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/β¦
Really excited about our new preprint from the lab about microglia lifespan and cannibalism. Congrats to Hannah Gordon for her hard work! Read more below about the story ππ§΅π @ZTSlabbiorxiv.org/content/10.1101/β¦
Glad to finally share with you the publication of my thesis work ! We sequenced C. elegans transcriptome using @nanopore long-reads to provide a comprehensive analysis of trans-splicing !
Please read our study ! rdcu.be/c6O85
We are hiring! Looking for a great opportunity to learn molecular genetics, live cell imaging and single cell RNA-Seq? Join us!

Finally out! Check our new resource of neuropeptide-GPCR interactions in C. elegans. We identify 461 peptide-GPCR pairs that allow mapping peptidergic circuits. See also this application on the worm's peptide connectome doi.org/10.1101/2022.10.30.5β¦

Very proud of our latest publication on a great collaboration with Kang Shen's lab in Stanford:
Endocytosis in the axon initial segment maintains neuronal polarity disq.us/t/4a08nb5
Our latest paper is out in the world! TL;DR: We found that outgrowth and myelination of peripheral nerves requires muscle patterning by tcf15/paraxis. See it here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1fRBc⦠(1/4)
Congratulations to our former postdoc, Dr. Balseiro-Gomez, and current PhD Candidate, Mick Park, for their fantastic contribution to our understanding of microtubule minus-ends in synaptic transport! π
We are proud of your work!

We are excited to welcome Dr. Neil Dani, PhD, to Vanderbilt Dept of Cell & Developmental Biology, as our newest Assistant Professor - joining an amazing group of junior faculty here!
New publication from the labπ. This was one of the first projects in the lab. We describe an #oligodendrocyte lineage cell that specifically associates with DRG sensory axons. There were a few surprising findings (see below) and many unanswered questions

BARseq can now reconstruct axonal projections at high-throughput!
Below: Projections of 100 neurons from a single brain, subsampled (for display purposes) from the 8607 neurons recovered from barcoded viral library injection into auditory cortex.
Great work by Li Yuan
