Congrats to @errricpeterman on getting the cover of the current issue of @DMM_Journal. This is also the first lab cover image! Link to his paper here: https://doi.org/10.1242/dmm.049911

Zebrafish cutaneous injury models reveal that Langerhans cells engulf axonal debris in adult epidermis

Summary: We introduce new models for studying axon degeneration with high spatiotemporal resolution, revealing that skin-resident immune cells known as Langerhans cells engulf axonal debris in zebrafish skin.

Our #MidweekMovie show mpeg1+ Langerhans cells engulfing debris during axon degeneration. @errricpeterman @jraslab @UWBiology, et al. present a new model for studying axon degeneration with high spatiotemporal resolution.

with everyone gone at a conference last week, i got to try out some fun, new injuries and imaging

Fun talk on tube formation from @claudiaraudia "What does it mean to be a lumen of an MDCK cell?" I've also wondered about this in a past life @nwdb2023

The emerging connectome, or synaptic wiring diagram, of the Drosophila brain has transformed fly circuit neuroscience. But the ventral nerve cord, which mediates limb proprioception and motor control, has lagged behind. We set out to fill this gap. 🧵1/n
