Fantastic technique to hopefully study connectivity at a single neuron resolution!

New publication from the lab😀. This was one of the first projects in the lab. We describe an #oligodendrocyte lineage cell that specifically associates with DRG sensory axons. There were a few surprising findings (see below) and many unanswered questions frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

New work from Lauren Green, Ph.D., @michaelrodea, and Camden Hoover. Congrats for your hard work!

We are excited to welcome Dr. Neil Dani, PhD, to Vanderbilt Dept of Cell & Developmental Biology, as our newest Assistant Professor - joining an amazing group of junior faculty here!

Congratulations to our former postdoc, Dr. Balseiro-Gomez, and current PhD Candidate, Mick Park, for their fantastic contribution to our understanding of microtubule minus-ends in synaptic transport! 🎊 We are proud of your work! authors.elsevier.com/a/1fNY2_Yv6zuQ…

Our latest paper is out in the world! TL;DR: We found that outgrowth and myelination of peripheral nerves requires muscle patterning by tcf15/paraxis. See it here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1fRBc2mzTZVp4 (1/4)

Congratulations, Melanie!

Very proud of our latest publication on a great collaboration with Kang Shen's lab in Stanford: Endocytosis in the axon initial segment maintains neuronal polarity disq.us/t/4a08nb5

Muy feliz de ser parte de la familia de #HannaGrayFellows Agradecida con todas las personas que se han cruzado en mi camino y de las que he aprendido tanto! Especialmente mis mentores David Miller Daniel Colón Ramos The Page-McCaw Lab Gould Lab Vivian Gama & Ege Kavalali. Gracias!

New tool available: you can now look at alternative splicing in many neuron types of the worm brain! Access it at splicing.cengen.org (1/7)

Finally out! Check our new resource of neuropeptide-GPCR interactions in C. elegans. We identify 461 peptide-GPCR pairs that allow mapping peptidergic circuits. See also this application on the worm's peptide connectome doi.org/10.1101/2022.1… Resource: doi.org/10.1101/2022.1… 🧵
