We created a comic book based on our research on the role of GJ channels and bioelectricity in neuromuscular development! This was an amazing collaboration with undergraduate art student Bentley Smallwood.🐟🔬⚡️

New preprint! 🔥A wonderful collaboration of our @FellerMarla lab with Matthew Po, and @shekharlab. Here, we dive into the impact of activity on the transcriptome of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the sole output neurons of the retina. 1/12

@bsw5020 Thank you for providing us with hope, and reminding us of the resiliency of the human spirit. It’s been a joy to follow you here. Looking forward to more goodnight moons 🌑 on the other blue space. 🦋
#CARTcells for #DIPG#DMG clinical trial (1st arm) results are out today. Full Tweetorial coming, but first want to share the story of a patient whose #DIPG has disappeared for over 3 years. It is a milestone and moment of hope on a journey filled with so much grief.
“There’s a lot of loss that led to this research,” Drew’s dad said. “I hope those families know that this success is because of them.”

New work from the @WillettLabs , led by
@AndracaJulia , explores how the immunosuppressive drug Tacrolimus (FK506) can speed up regeneration in a spinal fusion model—achieving fusion rates comparable to BMP. 💊📷

A printed version of our science comic came in today, and it’s somehow more beautiful in print! If you want a copy to print on your own, DM me and I’ll send you a version. ⚡️🐟
When I started my postdoc, I asked if partial reprogramming could rejuvenate aging worm neurons. It turns out, these worm OSK factors are neutral or even deleterious to C. elegans lifespan and chemosensation! Thanks to @ctmurphy1 and @RKaletsky for their help and support!
The breadth of research at @uoregon is remarkable, from AI and quantum technologies to cutting-edge earthquake science. Each of these programs is a testament to the power of curiosity-driven research, supported by @NSF.
@fishyskeleton Thanks for clarifying, my mistake confusing the fin differences with Cx and other channels.
Here is the original work that the comic is based on: https://t.co/wr0P07y1kP, which hopefully just adds to the layers of bioelectric signaling in development, and GJ channels of course.

@fishyskeleton Thanks, Matthew, your work was helpful in thinking about bioelectric signaling! In the comic, we discuss gjd4/Cx46.8 (which hasn't been characterized in fish before this). I am assuming you are referring to the other Cx43 long-tail mutants?
Also, I want to add that this is maybe the coolest thing that I have ever been a part of. It was so fun to work with Bentley, who is very talented. I pinch myself every time I look at it!
Special thanks to the University of Oregon Science and Comics Initiative for the opportunity and support for this project. 🎨🧪✨
