We are thrilled to share our first manuscript! A proteoglycan Versican helps the swollen hyaluronate in ECM accumulate & swell more for inner ear canal morphogenesis. The transcription factor Lmx1b promotes the synthesis of this sugary matrix! @yusuke949 & Sierra's hard work 🙏
Versican controlled by Lmx1b regulates hyaluronate density and hydration for semicircular canal morphogenesis biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv

We are thrilled to welcome @KiraTheExplora!
Excited to announce that soon I'll be a Postdoc (!!) injecting morphos + dechorionating embryos + imaging pretty things 🐟 that's right! I'm using zebrafish as a model to study how geometry guides tissue formation from simple beginnings w/ @akankshi @MunjalLab @DukeCellBiology
