We created a comic book based on our research on the role of GJ channels and bioelectricity in neuromuscular development! This was an amazing collaboration with undergraduate art student Bentley Smallwood.🐟🔬⚡️

New preprint! 🔥A wonderful collaboration of our @FellerMarla lab with Matthew Po, and @shekharlab. Here, we dive into the impact of activity on the transcriptome of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the sole output neurons of the retina. 1/12

#CARTcells for #DIPG #DMG clinical trial (1st arm) results are out today. Full Tweetorial coming, but first want to share the story of a patient whose #DIPG has disappeared for over 3 years. It is a milestone and moment of hope on a journey filled with so much grief.
“There’s a lot of loss that led to this research,” Drew’s dad said. “I hope those families know that this success is because of them.”

New work from the @WillettLabs , led by
@AndracaJulia , explores how the immunosuppressive drug Tacrolimus (FK506) can speed up regeneration in a spinal fusion model—achieving fusion rates comparable to BMP. 💊📷

if you’re unsure what to say today— say liberation comes through people. people fortify and build community. we keep us safe is not just a chant but a way of life. build together, care for people in the way a vote simply never could— with action, love and resistance 🖤

A printed version of our science comic came in today, and it’s somehow more beautiful in print! If you want a copy to print on your own, DM me and I’ll send you a version. ⚡️🐟

When I started my postdoc, I asked if partial reprogramming could rejuvenate aging worm neurons. It turns out, these worm OSK factors are neutral or even deleterious to C. elegans lifespan and chemosensation! Thanks to @ctmurphy1 and @RKaletsky for their help and support!
