Super excited to share our newest story! We found that despite their well-known reliance on glucose, neutrophils also like lipids! Lipid uptake is induced by immune signals, and we think this is important in atherosclerosis and other lipotoxic metabolic diseases!

Excited to be involved with this work driven by @dremilygoldberg.bsky.social and her team! Read the preprint now!

"Neutrophil TLR2 signaling promotes lipid accumulation and vascular plaque growth"

Join us! Abstract submissions due in one week

I stood up for science! Shoutout to @astratman.bsky.social for the sign idea. #StandUpForScience #standupforscience2025

My colleague Dan beat me to the punch but I am so thankful that my hometown paper (and others) was willing to share this with the community.

Exciting news! We are launching Applied Health Analytics for Delivery & Innovation (AHADI) led by Abdisalan Noor and @jalinegerardin.bsky.social. AHADI is an organization focused on Africa that works for countries on #SelfRelianceInHealthAnalytics Learn more here 👉🏾 shorturl.at/8XQVN.

Hello #Bluesky! We'd like to introduce ourselves...

We are the WashU Ciliopathy Research Group - a multidisciplinary team of investigators at Washington University in St Louis that perform fundamental, translational, and clinical research on #ciliopathies.

Follow us for updates from the group! 👇

NK: PIEZO1 p.Pro42Leu causes narrowed aorta in zebrafish, in work by @astratman.bsky.social lab #ASHG24

This one is a great collaboration with @astratman.bsky.social on characterization of U12-spliceosome gene ZCRB1, U12-intron splicing and its role in ciliogenesis and WNT-signaling. Halloween passed but we can still get headless zebrafish. #RNA #splicing #RNAbiology

*Tap tap tap* Is this thing on? New paper alert from the lab, featuring first author Dymonn Johnson and a whole host of collaborators who helped this paper come together. We couldn't have done this without the whole team! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our new paper on mural cell populations in the developing zebrafish! What transgenic marker should be used to see mural cells in different vascular beds over time?

WashU CellBio is launching a new program called the RISE Fellows Program: cellbiology.wustl.edu/education/ri...
This is a mentored-fellowship to tenure track faculty position open to defending PhD candidates/< 3rd year postdocs. All areas of cell biology considered. Reach out with any questions!

Congrats @teresaomeara.bsky.social on this beautiful work!!

New preprint from the lab! Gain and loss of CXCR3 activity in endothelial cells alters their vessel expansion and stabilization potential.

One reason I got into science social media was a small project to highlight women whose work I admire in neural engineering & systems/comp neuro. Since X is dying, I'm migrating those posts here. To give folks their due, we'll go one post per day.

Follow along to celebrate some amazing science!

Excited for postdoc Javier Abello's appointment to WashU's TriMED T32! Exciting working coming- stay tuned!

Yea!!

I'd like to be added, thanks!
