Excited that our paper is now online! @Veraksalab @Ken_Moberg We show that the Hippo pathway and its new member, TIF1/TRIM ortholog Bon, control cell fate decisions in the Drosophila eye via a non-canonical transcriptional program. Free access in 🧵👇! #DevBio #Drosophila 1/8

This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans.

Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals, making it a useful model for investigating how tissues develop and mature in multicellular organisms.

Read how the 2024 medicine laureates’ investigations into C. elegans revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation: https://t.co/8RwUplwYQA

BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Victor Ambros and Daniel Cifuentes have made clear the importance of research in model organisms, like C.elegans 🪱 or zebrafish 🐟, to understand human disease 👏👏

And another new preprint from the lab, led by S. Paul, K. Ilkhani, and N. Strozewski, collaboration with Shvartsman lab: we identify ERK-dependent phosphosites in Capicua (Cic), and show in vivo that mutating these sites turns Cic into a “super-repressor”.

New preprint from the lab, led by @bbrown_m : we uncover a function for #Drosophila Minibrain/DYRK1A in the neuroepithelium, and show that Mnb engages the Reps/Rlip/Rala signaling network to control brain development.

Victor Ambros, PhD, & Ye Duan, PhD’23, believe their research, published in @PNASNews, will help inform researchers pursuing a treatment for a recently IDed class of neurodevelopmental & autism-spectrum disorders called Argonaute syndromes: https://t.co/eJ5iHUWj5m @yE_oSCAR_dUAN

🚨 Fresh off! Please check out our recent paper on #Wolbachia #phageWO proteins messing with sperm lncRNA and DNA integrity to eventually kill embryos.

[Ye Duan (Oscar) @yE_oSCAR_dUAN]

Mutations in Argonaute proteins can significantly disrupt the miRNA biogenesis and functionality in target repression, and cause neurodevelopmental diseases. But how?
