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/...

Microscopy images showing that the absence of VE-cadherin or LKB1 significantly reduced alignment and elongation under shear stress in comparison to control cells.

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

I'm Tina Tootle. I am a Professor and the Chair of the Department of Biology at the University of Iowa. My research lab uses Drosophila oogenesis to study how lipid signals called prostaglandins regulate actin both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
