“Inhibition of Atg13-mediated autophagy enhances the anti-osteoclastogenic effect of sirolimus by counteracting its pro-autophagic activity,” by Tingwei Gao et al.: doi.org/10.1016/j.di...

Fig. 7. Atg13 knockdown in vivo enhanced the role of sirolimus in alleviating bone loss in OVX mice. OVX-operated female mice were treated with sirolimus (10 mg/kg, orally, 5 times/week) along with Cont-shRNA-AAVs or Atg13-shRNA-AAVs (5 × 1010 PFU/mL, marrow-cavity injection) for 45 days. (A) Representative 3D micro-CT reconstructed images of the tibiae from each group. Scale bar, 1 mm. (B) Representative H&E-stained tibial sections from each group. Scale bar, 20 μm. (C) LC3-puncta formation in bone marrow RANK+ CSF1R+ cells sorted by FACS was evaluated via immunofluorescence staining. Representative images of LC3 puncta, including single and merged fluorescence, were obtained under a fluorescent microscope. Scale bar, 25 μm.

Call for Papers! Submit to the Splicing in Development and Disease special issue! Submission deadline: December 30, 2025. Guest editors: Natoya Peart and Karine Choquet

This special issue will address and highlight current understanding and gaps in knowledge about the role of splicing both constitutive and alternative in the development and how disruption of these processes leads to disease.

Excited to be the inaugural speaker for this new seminar series from @diffjournal.bsky.social. I’ll be presenting on work from my PhD thesis focused on the role of cilia in lower jaw development.

Thanks to Loydie Jerome-Majewska, @rogerslabucd.bsky.social, and @uribelab.bsky.social for the invite!
