ANOTHER PRE-PRINT FORM THE LAB IN BIORXIV!
During injury, macrophages are the swiss knife: they do it all! Clean up, repair, protect.... But how is each step molecularly regulated? Our talented postdoctoral fellow Nicolas Denans tackled this problem by using scRNA-Seq, transgenic reporter lines and live imaging. He discovered that macrophages are activated sequentially and independently not by one but by 3 anti-inflammatory states!
Take a look: Nicolas is on the job market and has a wealth of data for future projects!

New publication from the lab in Developmental Cell!
Ionocytes, here observed for the first time in the zebrafish lateral line, invade neuromasts in response to changes in salinity and pH, via adaptive cell invasion.
You can find the paper here.
To know more about the behind the scenes, read the press release from the Stowers Institute.
