ECM remodeling occurs in the meninges during aging and following CNS trauma. In our latest work, led by Kate and Taylor Stevenson, we show how this ECM remodeling contributes to the meningeal lymphatic drainage deficits seen in these conditions. tinyurl.com/572ypyas

Congratulations Nipam Patel of Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), newly inducted #NASmember! #NAS162 #biology

Our literature review ⏰ that accompanies the BSMB #ECR Award is now out in The International Journal of Experimental Pathology. Well done to Ask Møbjerg and Sara Dietz Pedersen for putting it together! 💪 #tendon #translationalmedicine #circadianclock onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ie…

May is here, flowers are blooming and we have sooo much for u!!!! Go through our newsletter for a recap of our latest talk, hot off the press papers, career opportunities, spotlight interview with Ekasit Sonpho (Program) & upcoming events. All in one place!!! Chloé Yeung Julie S Di Martino and Co

Many with sleep apnea aren’t adequately treated because they find continuous positive airway pressure machines too burdensome. A new pill may offer an alternative. Learn more: scim.ag/4jnbXeS News from Science

I am trilled to join this year cohort of scientists and work in MBL this summer! It will be another interesting summer for me.

From hydra grafts to butterfly gene expression, the 2024 Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Embryology Course was a playground for #discovery. 🌊 A. Sánchez Alvarado Lab postdoc Ekasit Sonpho (Program) co-authored a reflection in Development on what made this summer so transformative. Read here: bit.ly/3ZIMRQu

You’re analyzing 10x Genomics single-cell RNA-seq and notice lots of intronic reads. Wait—wasn’t this a 3′ UMI-based assay for mature mRNA? Let’s unpack why introns show up—and why they matter. 🧵

Reactivation of mammalian regeneration by turning on an evolutionarily disabled genetic switch | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New discoveries are reshaping how scientists understand the molecular connections between the extracellular matrix and lysosomes—and the resulting implications for research and therapeutics for neurodegenerative disorders. Learn more in this @SciSignal Review:

A periodic reminder to leave behind simplistic & naive notions.

By flipping an evolutionarily disabled genetic switch involved in Vitamin A metabolism, researchers in Science have enabled ear tissue regeneration in mice. Learn more: scim.ag/44muTVr
