@SHBLab
We study collective cell migration, basement membrane secretion, and morphogenesis using Drosophila. Tweets are a team effort.
The abstract deadline for the 2022 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting is this Friday (June 17th). This is shaping up to be a great meeting. Please come join us! #SCDB2022
Hello Fly Friends - Earlier today many of you received an email from GSA asking you to express your interest in volunteering within the Drosophila community. Both faculty and trainees are invited to fill out the survey. Please help keep our community strong with your efforts!
Hello Fly Friends - Yesterday many of you got an email from GSA asking you to express your interest in volunteering to serve on the Fly Board or award committees, and to present your work at or organize the Fly Meeting. Both faculty & trainees are invited to fill out the survey.
The extracellular matrix can be surprisingly dynamic during development. Check out the work led by @_LaloSM showing that basement membrane assembly directly contributes forces initiating Drosophila central nervous system morphogenesis cell.com/developmental-…
Excited to announce the next VGZT on April 20th - we will hear from @awilliams_sci and @maitrejl about collective cell migration, blebs, and more!
Great to have you! See you at #Dros23!
Had a great day back at CLSC where I did my grad work. Thanks to @SHBLab for hosting. Stimulating discussion with students, postdocs and former mentors when I was student here, including Rick Fehon, @Mglo, Urs Schmidt-Ott and of course Chip Ferguson. @UChicago
Welcome @JocMcDonald to sabbatical time with the lab! We're excited to learn from and see what you figure out while you're here!
The complete program for the 2022 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting is now available at (scdb2022.com). We are still accepting abstracts for poster presentations though the registration deadline of July 20th (tomorrow). Hope you will join us! #SCDB2022
Please come join us at the 2022 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting for some exciting science and great company. The abstract deadline is June 17th. Also, don't forget to apply for the young investigator award! #SCDB2022
An intriguing hypothesis linking molecular biology, genomics, and the evolution of eukaryotes. If you study meiosis, genomics, or genetics, would love see you weigh in.
Is there a link between the molecular mechanisms of sex, the persistence + expansion of introns, & patterns of sympatric speciation? A rich new paper by Victoria Foe in @iobopen proposes a single explanation for several mysteries. A summary thread! 1/n doi.org/10.1093/iob/ob…
Looking forward to the start of @Dros22! And a plug for presentations from the lab: Audrey Williams @awilliams_sci is giving a talk Fri am in the Cell Bio II session, and Sierra Schwabach is presenting poster 681B Fri 2-4.
Acute manipulation and real-time visualization of membrane trafficking and exocytosis in #Drosophila. We brought #RUSH, conceived by Franck Perez @Team_FranckP in cultured cells, to the fly, illuminating secretion dynamics in live animals @biorxiv_cellbio doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…
Our #SpotlightZebrafish this week is on Dr. Adam Isabella (@AdamIsabella1), who is a #Postdoc w/ @CeciliaMoens @fredhutch. He studies the mechanisms of nerve innervation patterning during development and regeneration. For his latest work @Dev_journal, see: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/14…
Registration is now open for the 2022 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting at scdb2022.com. We have a great line-up of speakers and are looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues after a long time away!
Thanks Wen and Volodya!
Our paper is now in press with an interesting Dispatch from Wen Lu and @volodya_gelfand discussing how multiple kinesin motors work together in many systems, with some great ideas to test out in the egg chamber. Thanks!!! cell.com/current-biolog…
