Nicholas Cronin, Logan Dawson & Kris DeMali discover that the endothelial cadherin complex mediates AMPK activation by recruitment of LKB1 to support actin cytoskeletal dynamics, increased glycolysis & vasodilation.

New lab pre-print!! Rapamycin is an effective immunosuppressant for transplant recipients, but it slows down surgical recovery. Here, we use our wound healing model in the Drosophila embryo to ask why. Titanic work by Gordana Scepanovic. Take a look! 🧪 #drosophila #devbio

Still new here and am still finding Drosophila folks…but I want to share that nominations are open for the Larry Sandler Award! Given annually to an amazing student with a Drosophila-focused thesis, deadline Nov. 1, 2023. Please repost so we can recognize our brilliant students!

I'm Tina Tootle. I am a Professor and the Chair of the Department of Biology at the University of Iowa. My research lab uses Drosophila oogenesis to study how lipid signals called prostaglandins regulate actin both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
