I'm very happy to share that @JonesLabUCSF and @twi_tobi had our paper published in @iScience_CP last week! We demonstrated that the tricellular septate junction protein Bark beetle is required to maintain fly intestinal homeostasis.

Additionally, I'm very excited to announce that I'll be moving to NYC next week to begin my postdoc in @Erika_Bach's lab at @nyulangone @nyugrossman!

[Rachel Hodge @Rachel_A_Hodge]

I'm proud to announce that I defended last week!! I'm incredibly grateful to @JonesLabUCSF and @UclaMBIDP for their outstanding guidance and mentorship over the last 5 years.

Cho et al. show that an interaction between tricellulin and α-catenin links tricellular junctions to the actomyosin #cytoskeleton. https://t.co/spPtB3nS8i

EXCITING NEWS - The Demarco lab is opening this Fall in the Department of Biology at the University of Louisville @uofl, where we’ll be investigating how lipid metabolism influences stem cell behavior. Recruiting at the undergrad, grad and tech level! Please RT!

[Fusion Conferences @Fusion_Conf]

Conference chairs @JonesLabUCSF & @OphirKlein kicking off the first Fusion #ISC22 conference. We are looking forward to the next four days of science!

Excited to share our latest work on understanding the mechanisms driving cyst stem cell maintenance under homeostatic and starvation conditions in the Drosophila testis. A great collab between our lab @JonesLabUCSF and @TonyDSouthall @andreabrandlab 🧵1/6 https://t.co/xd3HXMQFed

I had so much fun speaking today at the #Dros22 @GeneticsGSA cell biology session. Recorded talk is up until May 1st! PC: @demarco_rafa

[Rachel Hodge @Rachel_A_Hodge]

@bdelloid Thank you!!

[Rachel Hodge @Rachel_A_Hodge]

@Xtal_NP Thank you!!

[Rafa @demarco_rafa]

#Dros22 get ready to know everything you ever wondered about Reproduction and Gametogenesis!! @LenhartFlyLab, Jennifer Mierisch and I are moderating this fantastic session today starting at 4:30pm. You don’t wanna miss it!

[Rafa @demarco_rafa]

#Dros22 Interested in how tricelular junctions in epithelial cells affect stem cell behavior? Grad student @Rachel_A_Hodge from @JonesLabUCSF will speak on Fri at 8:30a about the role of Bark beetle in regulating intestinal barrier and ISC homeostasis

[Rachel Hodge @Rachel_A_Hodge]

@Xtal_NP @JonesLabUCSF Sounds great! Let me know if you want to chat!

[Rachel Hodge @Rachel_A_Hodge]

I'm presenting my work from @JonesLabUCSF at #Dros22 in person! Stop by Cell Biology I at 8:30am Friday to hear about gut aging, septate junctions, and Smurf flies 😊

[Rachel Hodge @Rachel_A_Hodge]

@sravnik @demarco_rafa Thank you Stu!!

[Rafa @demarco_rafa]

Oh it’s happening. Networking session @ #Dros22

[Rafa @demarco_rafa]

Enjoying the beautiful weather before our first session at #Dros22. So exciting to be back to San Diego and see good friends and make new ones!

#FluorescenceFriday It always amazes me how dynamic & complex mitochondria are! Image of a Drosophila testis with a mitoGFP expressed in differentiating spermatogonia&spermatocytes. Drastic changes in those mitos as germ cells differentiates! In red, niche cells; in blue, nuclei.
