What can insects teach us about hormones and physiology?

In our new @APSPhysiology review, we highlight how insect models continue to unlock fundamental insights into endocrine signaling and interorgan communication.

Thx to my co-authors & @LabRewitz!

We are thrilled to share that @eLife has now published our "reviewed preprint" on how signaling from the gut to glia connects intestinal inflammation to sleep in #Drosophila!

Thrilled to share our work! Thanks to @NovoNordiskFond and @DFF_raad, we unveil how LGR signaling mediates crosstalk between muscle, neuronal, and adipose tissues, protecting against #insulinresistance and offering insights into #Diabetes and #Obesity.

We are excited to share our recent work on gut-to-glia communication linking intestinal inflammation with sleep in #Drosophila! Many thanks to @HalbergLab and Andersen and @Colombani_lab!

@anthony_dornan I am quite confident we will be equally disappointed by DKs performance. I have little faith in out team, a notion only confirmed after yesterdays match.

All we have left is nicely explained by this link:

In this paper we document the utility of this new transcriptomic resource, https://t.co/b1LuYVmt2C, which we belive has the potential to be transformative to both the Tribolium and general insect communities. Try it out and let us know your feedback!

[HalbergLab @HalbergLab]

Happy to share our latest paper from the lab: “BeetleAtlas: An Ontogenetic and Tissue-specific Transcriptomic Atlas of the Red Flour Beetle Tribolium castaneum” out now in @JmolBiol. Thx for generous funding by @VILLUMFONDEN @DFF_raad

The latest on the beetle cryptonephridial complex from our collaboration between @DenholmLab and @HalbergLab https://t.co/HgUgXTgrn8

[Meet Zandawala @zandawala]

New paper 🚨 from the lab in collaboration with @JPPaluzzi lab. Postdoc @gera_jayati's first project from the lab on the discovery of the receptor for the fly anti-diuretic hormone, ITP. Check out the 🧵for more info (1/n) https://t.co/ZyfycK4du0

[HalbergLab @HalbergLab]

Latest from the lab: What are the mechanism by which insects maintain systemic ion and water balance as they interact with their environment? Another great collaboration with @DenholmLab!https://t.co/bVj6fcXXEp

[J Cell Science @J_Cell_Sci]

@anthony_dornan @HalbergLab @tubuleguy and colleagues find that age-dependent decline in renal function is associated with compromised barrier integrity, which is phenocopied by acute loss of Snakeskin.

@a_j_dobson Awesom stuff Adam, congrats!

[Dornan has left the building....💙🇺🇦 @anthony_dornan]

Our paper with JCS cover out now! - In Drosophila age-related decreased kidney function, due to loss of epithelial barrier integrity and failure of fluid homeostasis, phenocopied by cell-specific knockdown of the essential junctional protein Snakeskin.

The paper is featured in JCS 'Research Highlights' as, embarrassingly, I am in the First Person 'Interview'. https://t.co/aXVimdsMpd.

It's been a struggle to get this work out but - Paper/Cover/Highlights - I can't be prouder. @HalbergLab @tubuleguy

[Meet Zandawala @zandawala]

Really excited to share the lab's first Drosophila paper and it's a big one. Check out our preprint https://t.co/Z1oI59uICG where we present the complete neural connectome of an animal circadian clock. 🧵 (1/12)
