#2025Rewind ⏪ Cells must eliminate faulty #ribosomes to stay healthy. A new pathway discovered by Stowers scientists reveals how defective protein-making machines are identified and discarded.

Can't believe it — my first‑author paper is out and my image graces the cover of @dev-journal.bsky.social 🎉

Here, we reveal how early developmental programs shape and maintain #zebrafish gill architecture throughout life

Thrilled to share our new paper on the in vivo BioID of neuronal cilia 🧬🌀
This is the first look at the signaling power of neuronal primary cilia in the mature mouse brain.
Huge thanks to @sarahgoetz.bsky.social and amazing collaborators for making this possible! 🙏

Thrilled to share a new preprint! 📝 🎉 Lewis lab PhD student Casadora wondered: Do mtDNA synthesis and lipid droplet biogenesis co-occur at the same membrane contact sites? Or can we discern distinct ER-mito contact classes? Evidence suggests the latter, relevant in overnutrition!

Almost 50 years back, in 1975, Paul Nurse Published this ground breaking paper @nature.com as a single author!

Fast forward 50 years, we are still learning the fundamentals of cell division from Paul Nurse.

A tremendous contribution to basic science!

🎉 Congratulations to Ekasit Sonpho, postdoc in the @planaria1.bsky.social Lab, on being named a 2025 Whitman Early Career Fellow at @mblscience.bsky.social! He’ll spend the summer in #WoodsHole developing cutting-edge tools to explore the power of #regeneration in flatworms. 🪱

Branching morphogenesis is fundamental to animal development, shaping complex organs like lungs, kidneys, and vascular networks. Gills are another highly branched organ. Yet, the developmental processes behind gill formation in zebrafish remain poorly understood.

I'm happy to share this preprint by first author Fred Koitz, a Genetics and Molecular Biology grad student in my lab! Fred came into the lab with an interest in dauer, and I am interested in gonad development, so we thought we'd start studying dauer gonad development.

Great new work led by @biomarina-vg.bsky.social on zebrafish meninges!

Particularly 🤩 is the descriptions of ependymin-expressing meningeal cells (not a fibroblast!) & ablation studies showing their essential role in viability. So much more to learn!

Congrats Marina & team on this great work! 🦓🐟🧠

Finding faulty ribosomes: A new collaboration from the
@kkostova.bsky.social Lab uncovers how cells cope with defective #ribosomes published in @cp-molcell.bsky.social. This could shed light on how failure to clear such ribosomes can lead to disease.

(1/17) We are excited to share the Ashraf and Gallagher labs collaboration on cell cycle regulation during environmental stress recovery in Arabidopsis, Brachypodium, and ryegrass.

Hungry? Special cells lining our gut sense the food we eat and even how much our intestines stretch! @hamccauley.bsky.social won an award to develop a new humanized mouse model to understand how these cells message immune cells and influence #guthealth and disease. unc.live/42KuHjM

Our debut here 🥰

Non-invasive intravital imaging of wound in skin epithelium of a juvenille zebrafish fed with a High-Cholesterol diet (HCD) versus a Normal Diet (ND)

Zebrafish is an outstanding model to study how diet and metabolic disease impact neutrophils

Keep following us, spread the word!

Does anyone have the Zebrafish transgenic line Tg(actb2:GCaMP6s,myl7:mCherry) in the US and be willing to share it with us?
