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

mTOR inhibits autophagy to facilitate cell swelling and rapid wound repair

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.
