Ever wonder how single molecules know where to go inside cells? Me too! I am excited to announce the publication of my graduate work @PLOSBiology. We investigate 🧐how mRNAs are localized in myelinating oligodendrocytes of living zebrafish🐟. Thread 1/7 journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…
ALT mRNA colocalized with actin at leading edge of myelin sheaths in living zebrafish larva.
The US Army's Massacre of Innocents: Sand Creek - RE:WIRE youtu.be/gRMfSCUZynU via @YouTube for my CO ppl, if you saw 9News tonight, these are my brother in-laws and they did an amazing job researching the Sand Creek Massacre and representing what really happened 150yrs ago.
Wow what a beautifully written synopsis of our research article. Thank you @Kat_Arney and @BPoD_mrc
Insight into how molecular signals direct growth of the #nerve-insulating #protein called #myelin. Image and research by @KYergert et al @AppelLabCU @CUAnschutz in @PLOSBiology. Read more on bpod.mrc.ac.uk/archive/2021/… with @MRC_LMS and @Kat_Arney

Very excited to announce that a part of my PhD thesis from the @BassellLab @EmoryMedicine is now published @CellReports!!! We developed a new technique to uncover translational defects during neurogenesis in #fragileXsyndrome using patient-derived iPSCs cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…
Album art from early 2000s. 20 years later, it doesn’t look like a tree anymore... all I see is a neural cell. #StillEmoAtHeart #NeuroscienceArt
Fantastic story showing that FMRP regulates OPC specification. And as always ... amazing imaging from @doll_caleb and @kaytscott. Congrats to the @AppelLabCU
Check out our preprint exploring the impact of the RNA binding protein Fmrp on gliogenesis and oligodendrocyte differentiation. Great getting back to my developmental neurobiology roots with @AppelbhBruce @kaytscott 1/

Great thread describing even cooler research!

We're excited to describe our research on how gene products are distributed in skeletal muscle! We began these studies with the goal of identifying distinct mRNA localization patterns in muscle, anticipating that mRNAs encoding sarcomeric genes might be locally translated

I didn’t get much time with @Kun_Sci_Lif, but he made an impact on my life. If anyone would like to leave a message for Kun on the memory wall and is unable to come to campus, please DM or @EdokpolorKamyra and we can add your thoughts for you.
Emory Community:
Myself along with @KYergert are organizing a memory board to honor @Kun_Sci_Lif outside of our laboratory. Please feel free to come by and leave a note for Kun and/or picture(s), or read those already present and reflect. He will be missed 🙏🏽

Finally, Becky O'Rouke (not on Twitter 👩💻) and I found that one motif in particular is enriched in the myelin transcriptome, suggesting this motif is a global regulator of mRNA localization to growing myelin sheaths. 6/7
This was possible because of the talented scientists who put in the hard work @jhhines2 @doll_caleb @AppelbhBruce & Becky. They are the most genuine, hard-working, & fun group I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Check out the other projects! 7/7 medschool.cuanschutz.edu/ped…
