Finally able to share this incredible story, years in the making! We’ve been looking for the neural pathways that detect patterns of visual motion resulting from body movements (aka optic flow)…and we found some super interesting new ones! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Great job @AKrittiKo and @lgarcialopez2 "Variation in CD8 T cell IFNγ differentiation to strains of Toxoplasma gondii is characterized by small effect QTLs with contribution from ROP16" frontiersin.org/articles/10.… Analysis of naive CD8 T cell IFNg responses to >120 parasite strains.

Prepping for a class session on the Lac operon in Molecular Biology and it prompts my yearly reminder to you all that what we were taught about the actual substrate of the Lac operon is almost certainly wrong...1

Excited to see this work from @mhlicon now published at @NatureMicrobiol describing a positive feedback loop that regulates #Toxoplasma chronic differentiation. Thank you to all our wonderful coauthors and collaborators! rdcu.be/damHQ
10-30% of people carry chronic #Toxoplasma and we’ve been interested in how parasites enter this state. New work from @mhlicon in our lab uncovers a positive feedback loop that enforces the developmental transition to the chronic state! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

This was such a great experience, even for a PI from a PUI. Kudos to everyone who has been involved!
In this #mSphere of Influence article, @mimi1inh and @MonicaMugnier share their experience as cochairs of the Young Investigators in Parasitology (YIPs) meeting, a 2-day biennial meeting for new PIs in #parasitology. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Have you ever wondered what the molecular basis is for the resistance of Toxoplasma oocysts? Here we show that LEA genes are important for protecting oocysts against environmental insults. Great collaborative effort by @SaeijlabUCDavis and Seeber lab 👇 journals.asm.org/doi/full/10…
