💫NEW: @telemanlab.bsky.social & co demonstrate that #AMPK can be activated by signaling metabolite, #adenosine, under non-stress conditions during #Drosophila development. The intestine regulates adenosine levels, thus, remotely controlling wing disc AMPK activation and growth.

Remote control of AMPK via extracellular adenosine controls tissue growth - Nature Cell Biology

Zhang et al. demonstrate that AMPK can be activated by signalling metabolite, adenosine, under non-stress conditions during Drosophila development. The intestine regulates adenosine levels, thus, remotely controlling wing disc AMPK activation and growth.

Finally out! A longstanding project to explore the mechanism behind ectopic crypt formation in polyps when GREM1 is aberrantly expressed in HMPS patients. Turns out it is all to do with stromal remodelling and epithelial-mesenchymal interdependence!

Epithelial GREMLIN1 disrupts intestinal epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk to induce a wnt-dependent ectopic stem cell niche through stromal remodelling - Nature Communications

The authors show that aberrant epithelial GREM1 expression remodels intestinal stroma to form ectopic stem cell niches in mice. Anti-GREM1 reversed these changes, highlighting a potential strategy for...

I have gotten a bit behind at sharing the lab’s latest work - this paper is now published - check it out! www.cell.com/cell-reports... Long story short: insulin is the major determinant of female fat storage, with a relatively minor effect on males.

Epithelial crowding drives membrane depolarisation by ENaC/Na+ entry which triggers rapid volume loss, piezo activation and live cell extrusion. Importantly, low intracellular ATP primes cells for live extrusion by preventing the restoring of mb polarisation.
