Excited to share that my latest work in @kt_kindt ‘s lab studying the role of microtubules in ribbon synapse formation is out as a reviewed preprint in @elife. We performed live microscopy in zebrafish hair cells and observed some very interesting events! https://t.co/wQ2IsFVF79

Very excited that our new preprint visualizing ribbon synapse formation is out!

Sensory cells in the retina and inner ear rely on specialized ribbon synapses for neurotransmission. Disruption of these synapses is linked to visual and auditory dysfunction, but it is unclear how...

Now online @JARO_News Dexamethasone is used to treat sudden hearing loss 💊 It is thought that maintaining high levels of dex in the ear may lead to better clinical outcomes 💉👂 But too much dex may not be a good thing for sensory hair cells😳 https://t.co/IMggNgG2RZ

Our new preprint it out! Work by grad student Daria Lukasz reveals how neurotransmission is a key part of what makes sensory hair cells so fragile https://t.co/CR7dXQCKFc
biorxiv.org
Sensory hair cells receive near constant stimulation by omnipresent auditory and vestibular stimuli. To detect and encode these stimuli, hair cells require steady ATP production, which can be...

YES! Apply to join us at BIE 2022! @KT_Kindt, @trapanilab & I will show you some of the amazing techniques we use in zebrafish to understand how hair cell organs develop, function, die, and regenerate 🐟👂😀

Why I started my lab at the NIH- so many great collaborators-check out our preprint on photoreceptor cell fate. https://t.co/1wfmPn5PPm
@NEI @NIDCD
biorxiv.org
During development, retinal progenitors navigate a complex landscape of fate decisions that culminates with an array of unique cell types that are required for proper vision. Here, we aim to identify...

Excited to share our imaging study exploring patterns of spontaneous activity in the developing lateral-line system, now in preprint! https://t.co/uCVhv9rlYC
biorxiv.org
Hair cells are the sensory receptors in the auditory and vestibular systems of all vertebrates, and in the lateral-line system of aquatic vertebrates. During development, spontaneous activity in hair...
