How do intestinal stem cells in Drosophila detect and repair basement membrane damage? A new study in @Dev_Cell by @aubrie_stricker, @PageMcCawLab, and @VanderbiltCDB sheds insight on tissue integrity and repair! https://t.co/nTyp0ZIhzs

If anyone saw my talk at #Dros23 and were curious about the next chapter in the Mthl10 story, this is it. Incredible work from stellar @VanderbiltU undergrad and incoming @PennMedicine medical student, Ivy Han!

Who would have thought epithelial cells set cortical tension using information from a cell surface receptor? See our bioRxiv preprint for details - https://t.co/qr9HPhDbRE

[bioRxiv Biophysics @biorxiv_biophys]

After wounding, a G-protein coupled receptor restores tension to epithelial cells in a dynamic inward-traveling wave https://t.co/WoRiaDcSua #biorxiv_biophys

So proud of my most recent graduate, @JamesOConnorPhD, for winning the international 2023 Sandler Award for the best dissertation using Drosophila. It was a joy to work with you, profoundly moving to see you soar now - Andrea #Dros23 @VanderbiltCDB @VUBasicSciences

@JulieBrill5 @JamesOConnorPhD @VanderbiltCDB @VUBasicSciences Thanks Julie - so nice to see you, even briefly. Maybe we can catch up at ASCB?

@JamesOConnorPhD @VanderbiltCDB @VUBasicSciences James' "jump-the-gap" movie: Epithelial wounds release a signal that triggers calcium (green) in surrounding cells. The pink cells are deaf to the signal (Gq knockdown) but the outside cells can still hear it. @Dev_Cell @JamesOConnorPhD @mShaneHutson

Congratulations to Dr. James O’Connor for winning the 2023 Larry Sandler Award! #Dros23

[The Page-McCaw Lab @PageMcCawLab]

@HarmitMalik @JamesOConnorPhD Jump-the-gap is my favorite movie! It took James days to get just the right one.

[The Page-McCaw Lab @PageMcCawLab]

@Hoosierflyman @JamesOConnorPhD James gave a wonderful talk!

[Harmit S. Malik @HarmitMalik]

Congrats to this year’s Larry Sandler award winner and all the finalists.

New goal: a lab logo that is as cool as that of the Page-McCaw lab (congrats to the proud mentor as well)

Today Andrea Page-McCraw @PageMcCawLab from @VanderbiltCDB gave a spectacular talk about ‘Mechanisms of epithelial wound detection’. 🪰 Andrea was hosted by Acaimo González Reyes! Thanks for the visit and discussion!
