Curious about our @BCM_SMART Program? We asked a former student to talk about his experience. bit.ly/2juKH4t #SMARTProgram #Education

Our new review is out on the potential role of bacterial by-products in modulating placental gene expression in small for gestational age infants! Check it out. 😊😊 mdpi.com/2073-4425/11/1/80

Modulation of Placental Gene Expression in Small-for-Gestational-Age Infants

Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants are fetuses that have not reached their genetically programmed growth potential. Low birth weight predisposes these infants to an increased risk of developing...

Excited to finally share our work! Out online: cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…. We wanted to understand the interaction between neuronal activity and biochemical signaling in vivo. We made new CREB sensors that allowed us to track CREB activity in vivo at single cell resolution.

In Vivo Imaging of the Coupling between Neuronal and CREB Activity in the Mouse Brain

Laviv et al. developed new biosensors that allow researchers to image plasticity-regulating activity of a transcription factor, CREB, in single cells in the brain of living mice.

Wrote a quick #imageJ script to split time lapse movies into high and low speed portions. Here it is on a timelapse of the #zebrafish heart. (~36hpf, Nikon Ti2 63x DIC)

A study published in Nature shows that drug resistance in the malaria parasite is linked to a specific protein and illustrates how mutations in the protein allow the parasite to expel the drug. go.nature.com/2OZkPLH

Faculty, next time you ask a student or postdoc “how is your research going?” try following up with “and how are *you* doing?” Showing that we care about people does not mean that we care any less about research, and it can make a big difference in someone’s day.

Disturbances along the brain-gut-microbiota axis may contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. In this review scientists summarize what we've learnt about the role of the gut microbiota as a potential key player in the AD pathology ow.ly/5aOM30pUD9e
