Congratulations Keeley for a fantastic job with your PhD defense! Apoptosis in Neurons: Transient and Reversible. Also, everyone meet Bax- yea, the one with the big ears. Keeley has already taught him the retrotranslocation moves…

“Neurons can reverse their decision to die from a point that’s considered impossible in most other cells,” said @DeshmukhLab. Read how neurons escape death below! Happy Halloween! med.unc.edu/cellbiophysio/ne…
Awesome mentor and research. Apply!
My lab is hiring! We are looking for a Research Assistant to characterize the function of a schizophrenia risk factor at @AberdeenNeuro. Involves iPSC, gene editing and neuronal biology! The post is available either full-time or part-time.

Our latest paper on neuronal resilience. The apoptotic pathway is activated as a transient pulse in neurons even with continuous apoptotic stimulus. Neurons prepare for survival even when they activate apoptotic signaling. Congrats Keeley and others!!

Fantastic to celebrate 25 years of the UNC Neuroscience Center last night! Thank you @fpolleux, @GarretStuber, and Anthony LaMantia’s for joining us. Also late night at the Dead Mule with Franck and Eva- same place where we have spent much time 20 years ago!
Congratulations to lab folks for getting 2nd Best Poster awards in recent meetings! Jon Nagel (left) at the Duke UNC SLAM-DUNC Alzheimer’s conference and Quintin Girardi (right) at the UNC Neuroscience Symposium. Lab research well represented!
Congratulations! A landmark discovery that has led to so many studies of how miRNAs regulate biology.
BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Lab well represented at the Non-Lethal Roles of Cell Death Proteins in Ottawa- both Nicole @nicolehondro and Selena @SelenaRomeroPhD at Posters and as Moderators! And of courses, at the bars…
Thank you Lynn @MegeneyLab, Eli @aramae367, Howard @hofearnhead1, and Luis Alberto @caspaselab, for organizing this awesome meeting on Non-Lethal Roles of Cell Death Proteins in Ottawa. Great community. Exciting science!

In a new paper in @commsbio, researchers have shown that a small RNA molecule drives the natural process of aging. This is the first time that miR-29 has been proven to play a direct role in the aging process.

Nothing more satisfying than going back to the college St. Xavier’s Mumbai @sxcbom that inspired you to be a scientist. It’s been 40 years - but feels like home. Wonderful students and awesome faculty in Life Sciences/Biochem. Teachers inspire. Every day. Thank you!
Thank you @PraveenSethup and others for this wonderful collaboration and for help us navigate aging! miR-29 continues to amaze us.
miR-29 is a driver of aging-related related phenotypes: rdcu.be/dR6ib. Pleased to share this study, which reflects a long-standing collaboration with @DeshmukhLab @EHollville and others @uncneuro, who started the work. @Cornell @cornellvet @KankeMatt @AmyHung_yh
Always enjoyable to meet up with lab alumni. Returning from GRC, brief stop in Portsmouth to catch up with Allyson! @metabolism_ally. Congratulations for everything you are doing at @Cell_Metabolism.
Keeley, @nicolehondro and Matt at the Cell Death GRC: Talks, Posters, Hikes, and Lobsters! Also, @nicolehondro reaction when she heard she won the best poster award. Congratulations!!!
Congratulations @nicolehondro for an awesome presentation at the Cell Death GRS for her project on Axon Pruning. Neurons are very cool! Looking forward to the meeting this week!
