New paper from the lab in @CellReports! 🎉🐟

We uncover how Gata4–Loxl2b signaling controls fibrosis and scar-free spinal cord regeneration in zebrafish, and show that targeting Loxl2b restores recovery.
Thrilled to share that our lab has received its first NIH award through an NIGMS R35 MIRA! Grateful to @NIH, NIGMS, my lab members, mentors, collaborators, colleagues, and @VandyPharm @VanderbiltU for making this possible. Looking forward to the next five years of discoveries!!
Brain Blast with the @VanderbiltBrain Institute this morning 🧠
We introduced young students to the regenerative capacity of the zebrafish spinal cord (with lots of colorful neurons!). It was so exciting to see how engaged they were.
Science outreach is so important 💡

Exciting new article from @VUBasicSciences! Ege Kavalali and @natalieguzi uncovered that the organization of synaptic structures can be attributed to the important role of liquid-liquid phase separation, independent of membranes.
