Congrats to Dr. Charles Cho for earning a Digestive Disease Center 2024 Pilot Feasibility Awards for his project entitled, “Ribosomes in pancreatic metaplasia and tumorigenesis.”

Remember, gastronauts, your parietal cells are glowing green even without immunostaining because of all the FADH2 in mitochondria.

Outstanding talk by Jeffrey Wade Brown, M.D., Ph.D. at Texas Medical Center Digestive Disease Center Forum👏👃#TMCDDC: tales of #cathartocytosis, how cells spill #rER to scale down secretion in #paligenosis for #metaplasia #cancer. 👇 w/Dr. Indira Mysorekar & From the Labs at Baylor College of Medicine Mills Lab students

Good morning Texas! 🤠 🔬🎸🚴‍♂️💻 🄼🄸🄻🄻🅂 🄻🄰🄱 kicks us off with a warm welcome, sharing details about our great #DDC staff, services, and seminars.

Downscaling following injury was thought to rely entirely on autophagy; however, we found another mechanism of rapidly downscaling and eliminating material from multiple organellar compartments. We call this #Cathartocytosis. 🔬🎸🚴‍♂️💻 🄼🄸🄻🄻🅂 🄻🄰🄱 @WUGastro biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Kicking off #GTSRC in Calgary, the coolest small-ish luminal GI meeting, with keynote by Thirumala-Devi Kanneganti discussing #inflammasomes and #pyroptosis in innate immunity. It was a pleasure to host her with Dr. Indira Mysorekar at our home in #Htown during ASRI annual meeting‼️

Yongji Zeng, M.D., Ph.D. is showing nice data that activation of Yap1 in #stomach chief cells requires #autophagy and occurs early on in #paligenosis (I hope 🔬🎸🚴‍♂️💻 🄼🄸🄻🄻🅂 🄻🄰🄱 has already made that a #hashtag 😜) #GTSRC24

#GTSRC24 now for Yongji Zeng, M.D., Ph.D. presenting his work on #Yap1 and #paligenosis. Spoiler: it is necessary and sufficient for paliG! TMC Digestive Diseases Center From the Labs at Baylor College of Medicine BCM Gastroenterology BCM Department of Medicine

#GTSRC24 My great honor to present my work on #Yap1 and #paligenosis today. TMC Digestive Diseases Center From the Labs at Baylor College of Medicine BCM Gastroenterology BCM Department of Medicine 🔬🎸🚴‍♂️💻 🄼🄸🄻🄻🅂 🄻🄰🄱

At #GTSRC24 Thanh Nguyen tells us about the earliest events in #paligenosis. ISR and ER-phagy and amazing cell rearrangements. BCM Gastroenterology BCM Department of Medicine From the Labs at Baylor College of Medicine TMC Digestive Diseases Center

Phenomenally proud 😁😊to have so many past and current Mills Lab folk represent at #GTSRC24!!👏👏 Jeffrey Wade Brown, M.D., Ph.D. Maple Adkins-Threats Victoria Weis Yongji Zeng, M.D., Ph.D. Jose Saenz Johnny Huang, Thanh Nguyen.
