Congratulations Dr. Inna Nikonorova @inikon.bsky.social on her new @pkdfoundation.bsky.social grant, which is an amazing patient-advocacy and patient-funded research award mechanism. #adpkd #cilia #extracellularvesicles #celegans pkdcure.org/research/gra...

Excited to share that I've been awarded a research grant from @pkdfoundation.bsky.social to advance our work on polycystin signaling via extracellular vesicles in C. elegans, with the goal of uncovering new mechanisms relevant to polycystic kidney disease. #cilia #extracellularvesicles

The Barr Lab welcomed back PhD alum Dr. Deanna De Vore and her 40 juniors from Passaic County Technical-Vocational Schools. IRACDA postdoc @katiejacobs.bsky.social led this all-hands-on-deck lab field day, which also included a Rutgers campus tour. These bright, young scholars are our future!

Group of PCTI high school juniors and researchers after a day in the lab. In the center is the HS teacher Dr. Deanna DeVore and her thesis advisor Maureen Barr. Students are holding two research posters of Dr. De Vore's thesis work. Smiling Dr. De Vore in a microscope room, where she spent much time as a grad student. In the background is a scientist showing HS student an image on a computer screen Five HS students focused on looking in dissecting microscopes at C. Elegans. Some are taking notes. The scientist teaching the unit is standing in the back. Four HS students seeing and learning about neurons that are labeled by GFP in living C. elegans. The instructor is animated and using her hands to express excitement

Just out! We used C. elegans to trace the cargo of ciliary EVs and found that their loading is a regulated process involving polycystins. @barrlab.bsky.social communities.springernature.com/posts/tiny-m...

We're live! @inikon.bsky.social used modular proximity labeling to identify ciliary EV cargo in #celegans. This EV-TurboID approach can be applied in cell- & tissue-specific manners to define the composition of distinct EV subtypes, a major challenge of the EV field. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
