Researchers uncover key players in tissue regeneration The STK38–YAP1 switch may be a general mechanism for mature cells to regain regenerative properties across many organs.

How do tissues regenerate after injury or disease? J. Mills, Y. Zeng et al found new players that mediate the process. @pnas.org @bcmhouston.bsky.social #BCMDeptMedicine #BCMPostDoc #Paligenosis blogs.bcm.edu/2026/04/02/f...

Cathartocytosis: Jettisoning of cellular material during reprogramming of differentiated cells Cellular plasticity, which involves massive changes to a cell’s architecture and organellar organization, can be harnessed following injury to repair damaged tissue. Brown et al. describe cathartocytosis, a process that large, differentiated cells can use to rapidly downscale their cellular machinery.

Cells ‘vomit’ waste to promote healing, mouse study reveals | WashU Medicine A newly discovered process by which gastric cells rapidly eject waste after an injury hints at how healing may go wrong.

Unlocking the mystery behind Barrett's esophagus A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Washington University School of Medicine has shed light on the process that drives Barrett's esophagus formation.

Alterations in the balance of SOX2 and CDX2 genes have been linked to the development of Barrett’s esophagus, offering new insights into early detection and prevention strategies. doi.org/g9r6rt

Margarita teaching us at #DDW2025 how #IntestinalMetaplasia may occur using a new mouse model.

Yongji Zeng at #DDW2025 in the CMG abstract plenary talking about #Hippo in #paligenosis.

A noncanonical Hippo kinase, STK38, degrades YAP1 at homeostasis.

Autophagy in stage 1 degrades STK38 to activate YAP1 for metaplasia and proliferation (stages 2 and 3).

Here at #DDW2025 for my first Bluesky posts. First DDW session: the amazing Rhinda Souza delivering the Groisman lecture. "Learning from the burn"!

#TMC #DDC represented at the #NCURA Financial Research Administration Conference in San Diego this past weekend!

With more than 800 attendees and a keynote talk from Dr. Andrea Hollingsworth, our administrative team and colleagues' knowledge and capabilities are stronger than ever before!

Hey SUFS Community!

New paper out! We looked into what our favorite beneficial microbe does to gut hormones. We found L. reuteri regulates many gut hormones like PYY and GIP but also vasopressin, which we didn't know was made in the gut. Check it out!
