Honored to have been a part of @JMorganLab this summer as part of the @NSF REU program at @MBLScience . This summer has confirmed my desire to pursue a PhD in one of the biological sciences while giving me the tools to achieve this goal. So grateful for this experience!

🚨Ahead-of-print🚨 Katz et al. explore the ability of larval sea lampreys to recover burrowing ability following spinal cord injury. While the ability is recovered 9-11 weeks post spinal cord transection, some deficits persist. 🔗doi.org/10.1086/711365 #neuronalregeneration
Sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) recover burrowing behavior after spinal cord injury. Representative images of uninjured control (CON) animals and those at 1, 2, 6, and 11 weeks post-injury (WPI) showing post-injury recovery of burrowing based on improved burrowing scores. Red arrowhead indicates body waves in the uncovered portion of the body. Scale bar = 2 cm.

Despite substantial recovery, the duration of burrowing behavior increased after spinal cord injury. Representative still images of uninjured control (CON), 3 weeks post-injury (WPI), 6 WPI, and 11 WPI showing the initial and final components of burrowing behavior. Red boxes indicate the time point at which the animal is completely burrowed. Scale bar = 2 cm.

@JMorganLab has a @biorxivpreprint providing additional evidence suggesting that impaired vesicle endocytosis is a cellular target of excess α-synuclein & advances understanding of potential mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis in synucleinopathies biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Vampires are real! This prehistoric fish feeds on the blood and other bodily fluids of fish right here in lake Michigan. See the blood-sucking biology of this invasive species up close in the Great Lakes gallery!
