Why do quiescent neural stem cells look so much like neurons? 🤔 We showed that quiescent neural stem cells transiently adopt a neuronal identity to coordinate reactivation across the CNS! See our latest preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I just realized that it has now been 30 years of the GAL4-UAS system for Drosophila! @andreabrandlab and @PerrimonLab paper came out in June 1993! journals.biologists.com/dev/…

Targeted gene expression as a means of altering cell fates and generating dominant phenotypes

ABSTRACT. We have designed a system for targeted gene expression that allows the selective activation of any cloned gene in a wide variety of tissueand cell-specific patterns. The gene encoding the...

The Chronophage has proved inspirational, perhaps most recently in @andreabrandlab’s research who identified a temporal transcription factor in Drosophila that they named Chronophage in view of its role in regulating neurogenesis journals.biologists.com/dev/…

The Drosophila homologue of CTIP1 (Bcl11a) and CTIP2 (Bcl11b) regulates neural stem cell temporal...

Highlighted Article: The Drosophila CTIP1/2 (Bcl11a/b) homologue chronophage regulates the temporal cascade and neural stem cell competence in the embryonic central nervous system.
