Now in @CurrentBiology , we show that gap junction-mediated bioelectric signaling is required for the development and function of slow muscle. cell.com/current-biology/abs…

The last bit of my thesis work is out! We identify that gap junctions mediate slow muscle development, organization, and function. How? We think they propagate bioelectric signals from the spinal cord, pre-innervation. GCaMP, scRNAseq, behavior and more!

Dear Cosyne Community, Last week, An Wu, a postdoc in the Komiyama lab at UCSD who presented at this year’s meeting, has been reported missing. Our current information is that after Cosyne, she stayed at a building that burnt down in fire in Old Montreal. #cosyne2023 1/2
