The Tootle lab is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to contribute to one of our areas of study - prostaglandin signaling regulating of cell migration and morphogenesis, nuclear actin and its roles in the nucleolus, or lipid droplet associated protein regulation of actin dynamics.

Nicholas Cronin, Logan Dawson & Kris DeMali discover that the endothelial cadherin complex mediates AMPK activation by recruitment of LKB1 to support actin cytoskeletal dynamics, increased glycolysis & vasodilation. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

New lab pre-print!! Rapamycin is an effective immunosuppressant for transplant recipients, but it slows down surgical recovery. Here, we use our wound healing model in the Drosophila embryo to ask why. Titanic work by Gordana Scepanovic. Take a look! 🧪 #drosophila #devbio
