Excited to share our lab's latest work in @PLOSGenetics on bone and muscle coupling! Bone and muscle mass are associated throughout life. We were interested in how genetic variants dually influence bone and muscle mass…1/9 doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen…

Happy to share my first preprint from my postdoc in the @galloway_lab 🥰 Here, we present the adult #zebrafish #tendon as an exciting new model for connective tissue #regeneration! @MGH_RI @MassGeneralCRM biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Endogenous Tenocyte Activation Underlies the Regenerative Capacity of Adult Zebrafish Tendon

Tendons are essential, frequently injured connective tissues that transmit forces from muscle to bone. Their unique highly ordered, matrix-rich structure is critical for proper function. While adult...

Research from the Yadav Lab sheds new light on the mechanisms by which a gene strongly linked to #autism triggers pathological changes to the neuronal membrane that contribute to intellectual disabilities. @UW_Pharmacy @uwmnewsroom

“It’s interesting that TAOK1 and TAOK2 are so complementary and have overlapping functions, but have very different roles as well,” says @karunsinghneuro. bit.ly/3kA4X5O

Mutations in autism-linked gene cause membrane mischief

Inactivating TAOK1 prompts tentacle-like protrusions to form all over a neuron’s surface, revealing the gene’s role in molding the membrane.

(12/12) What I learned: - Even commonly used cell lines might not be perfect for every assay/output you are interested in. - Troubleshooting within assays for different cell types might be needed. It helps to figure this out sooner rather than later.
