Modeling a NM patient point mutation in Cofilin-2 in vitro and in vivo indicate that both the nucleotide exchange and actin severing functions of Cofilin-2 are impaired. These predict the functional deficits found in Cofilin-2 NM patients.

Congratulations to @BriChristophers for her amazing thesis defense!

Using a fly model of Nemaline myopathy, Bri provides new insights to this disease. Stay tuned for the paper!

PhD down, MD to go!

@BriChristophers @WeillCornell @TriIMDPhD Awesome talk Bri!

[Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers]

Spot me behind the (really large) lectern presenting my thesis work at the 42nd annual Vincent du Vigneaud Research Symposium at @WeillCornell!

@AaronJohnsonLab Thx @AaronJohnsonLab ! Fly muscles are indeed amazing! Great image by @zapatercarolina

Issue 6 is now complete!

On the cover: a dissected third instar Drosophila larva stained for sarcomeric ZASP-GFP (green) and filamentous actin (phalloidin, red). For more details, see the Research Article by Zapater i Morales et al.

Carolina's work also adds support and extends the tension-driven model of myofibrillogenesis. Together this work highlights the multiple places within the multinucleated muscle cell where actin (and Tmod) work to assure optimal muscle function.

[Mary Baylies @BayliesLab]

Hope that the images from @zapatercarolina (cover @Dev_journal and #FluorescenceFriday) will get you to check out her paper in this issue of @Dev_journal! https://t.co/haRtXWNdQg Tropomodulin loss impacts more than sarcomeres in the growing muscle cell!

[Mary Baylies @BayliesLab]

... misshaped and internalized nuclei with altered transcription. In collab with P. Carman and R. Dominquez (UPenn), she showed that fly Tmod also acts an actin capping protein. We propose that this function is required at multiple subcellular locations in the muscle cell.

@zapatercarolina @Dev_journal Another of your gorgeous images from your thesis work!

[Mary Baylies @BayliesLab]

@focalplane_jcs @mskcc @Dev_journal Thank you @focalplane_jcs for featuring the BEAUTIFUL images of @zapatercarolina @MSKCC ! There are more of those beauties in her paper. Great science, Great art, Great Science @Dev_journal: https://t.co/QWPpMU1neR

@MSKEducation @NicoleJTorres1 It is a pleasure to have @NicoleJTorres1 in my lab! Thank you #MSKBridge Scholars program and @MSKEducation for bringing us together. Keep an eye out for her outstanding work with MDPhD student Victoria von Saucken @TriMDPhD #WomenInSTEM #WomensHistoryMonth

[Mary Baylies @BayliesLab]

@David_Lab_MSK Your awesomeness made it easy!

[Yael David @Yael_David__]

This was so much fun!!
Thank you for including me in this phenomenal group of scientific leaders and thank you @BayliesLab for the heartwarming words!!!! 💪🏻⭐️

@BriChristophers @TriIMDPhD @NICHD_NIH Congratulations Bri! You are amazing and soooo wonderful to have in the lab! You are an inspiration to us all! #WomenInSTEM

[Mary Baylies @BayliesLab]

@BriChristophers @JChildNeurol @lopezamike @ResearchMuscle You did an amazing job with this @BriChristophers ! Can’t wait to see how your Drosophila model provides new insights to NM!

[Isidora Stankovic 👩🏻‍🔬 @isidora_stan]

You always hear that your PhD cohort should be friendly one but boy, are we at Cornell a family. Exams, experiments, moves, travels, breakups, engagement parties - couldn’t have done first yr without these (and 15 others) BCMBers. ❤️

[Mary Baylies @BayliesLab]

@lucksmith @efapostolou29 @WCMResearch Congrats Effie!!!
