The Li Lab is launching on January 1, 2025 and is currently recruiting at all levels! Our research will utilize transparent zebrafish larvae, ideal for in vivo imaging, to study neuron-oligodendrocyte interactions. For more information, please visit: jiaxinglilab.org/contact/

We’re hiring in my Division of @BerkeleyMCB!
Come join a fantastic group of immunologists in a larger community of basic scientists in the department

Happy to share our work about how neurons re-utilize gene expression regulators to directly control cytoskeletal dynamics. We found that the nucleating component of the Exon Junction Complex, EIF4A3, acts non-canonically as a microtubule-binding protein to regulate axonal growth.

Delighted to share our review. Congrats to Gui-Jing Xiong! Thank JCB editor @andrea_marat for handling this review so well, and the reviewers who provided constructive comments. Very happy to publish with @JCellBiol.
New review: Xiong and Sheng @zuhangsheng @NIH_NINDS summarize recent advances in presynaptic mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders by focusing on impaired axonal transport of presynaptic cargos. hubs.la/Q02rGTT70

Check out this stunning animation by @janetiwasa (in collaboration with @SamReckPeterson), showcasing our model of how various components come together to form active dynein complexes capable of transporting cellular cargo.
Our work on how the lysosomal adaptor JIP3, and regulator LIS1 activate the dynein motor protein is now out in @ScienceMagazine ! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Many thanks to our reviewers and editor for their valuable input.

It is finally here! In this work we found that astrocytes control SST+ synapse formation and function by secreting NCAN C-terminal into the extracelular matrix in the developing cerebral cortex.

Massive 10+ year effort in lab spearheaded by @leonardoaparrar and Kayal (secret account 🤔). Unreal cover by @EmmaVIDALL that says it all.
2023's final issue is out! cell.com/neuron/current
Cover story is from @Roy_Lab_Thinks's lab revealing an unexpected physiologic role for α-synuclein phosphorylation in clustering synaptic vesicles and restricting neurotransmitter release. Read it here cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

New work by Xhoela reveals how mitochondria change during oligodendrocyte generation. In addition to showing precisely how these organelles are partitioned in the cell, Xhoela also discovered that animal arousal impacts mitochondrial motility in OPCs.

I spent the day @lghsinfo sharing my story going from the agricultural fields of the Central Valley to medical school. This was followed by a hands on suturing workshop where students learned how to suture on pigs feet! Had insightful discussions about their fears of being a……
