My first postdoc paper is officially published! 🥳 We define the sensory neurons inside the tooth as sentinels: tuned to detect tooth damage and trigger a protective jaw opening reflex 🦷🔨
Grateful to have explored this research with our incredible and interdisciplinary team!
Congrats to Can Wang and @elizabithian from the Xu lab in @UMLifeSciences and @UMPhysiology for their paper in Biophysics Reports describing the methods to assay three features of auditory sensation in C. elegans

“The lab is everything” in medicine. Without it, we cannot deliver superior patient care. Fun activities and the #Barbie theme were celebrated this week here. Thank you and shout out to all the lab professionals out there! Happy Lab Week 2024! #lab#pathology#MLS#LabWeek2024
What types of sensations can we derive from our teeth? How are sensory stimuli detected and transduced within the tooth?
We’re still exploring some of these questions… but I just published a short review summarizing current understanding of tooth sensation!

#PubNight is an important monthly tradition in our program. It’s always better when #trivia is involved, too. We didn’t get first place this time but we held our own as “Team Unknowns”. 🔬
Looking forward to next time!

#PathX, we're back after a brief hiatus! And we brought food! Our #DEIC led a #DEI potluck earlier this month and everyone was excited to celebrate each other's cultures and backgrounds.
Looking forward to the next one! #GoodVibesOnly#PathMatch2024#friyay
LSI researchers recently revealed how #celegans can sense sound without ears—by sensing sound pressure gradients from localized (but not larger) sources.
Coauthors @elizabithian and @CanWang94 explain the findings in this @CurrentBiology video abstract:

[New Paper Thread🧵] Did you know that worms can sense sound? In our new @CurrentBiology study, led with @CanWang94, we find that C. elegans senses airborne sound via sound pressure gradients produced by localized sound sources. [1/10]

Case of the week! Where can you find a connection between burritos, pizzas, international & national meetings? The answer is: @BeaumontPathRes 😊
We had a busy& fruitful couple of weeks, started with fun gathering with our PD Jackie that involved 🌯 🌯
