After scoping out Mastodon for about a week now, it's probably time for an #introduction
Hi I'm Alex, a Reviews #Editor for @Dev_journal, a community #journal covering #devbio, #stemcells & #regeneration. Development hosts the #devbiol community blog @the_node and is published by the @Co_Biologists.
I'll mostly be tooting about amazing #devbio research and conferences, and occasionally about personal stuff like #books, #reading, #gardening and other adventures on my bike or #kayak.
Hi #ScienceMastodon. We, at #Dev_journal, are a #community journal covering #DevBio, #stemcells, #regeneration and more. Development is led by Editor-in-Chief @jamesbriscoe & published by the not-for-profit @Co_Biologists.
We’ll be tooting about our #research papers, #reviews, #interviews, charitable activities, #conferences and #devbiol news from our community site, @the_node.

Pancreatic Rab11a/Rab11b dKO->
Aberrant polarized transport of apical/basolateral proteins->
AMIS supernumerary->
Defects in ductal #Lumenogenesis; Acinar morphogenesis; Pancreatic cell lineage dysregulation
Highly intriguing, PancRab11KO->⏬Sox9+ bipotent progenitor & #Islet mass-> #GlucoseIntolerance in suvived adult🐭
Lumenized epithelial paracrine or endocrine-autonomous defect?😆
No baseline change in fast glucose. Insulin/glucagon? Adult islet histology-Amyloid degeneration?
The branched, lumenized pancreatic duct is fragmented into disconnected Microlumens + enlarged Cyst in PancRab11KO🐭
Can't help but think Rab35 in anisotropic Lumenogenesis of liver #BileCanaliculi
Is there a primary hydro-osmotic defect here?😋
Still, what happens to pancreatic vascular morphogenesis in Panc-Rab11 KO🐭?(Surely, epithelia & endothelia are coupled🤪)
More importantly, now it's the magic timing if you also want to have such amazing stories

Excited to share our preprint on the role of Rab11 in microlumen formation during early pancreas development.
When Rab11 is genetically deleted in pancreatic epithelium:
-intracellular cargo containing apically targeted proteins are stuck in the cell
-Lumens fail
-Branch morphogenesis is defective
-Beta cell mass is reduced
