I haven’t done any electrophysiology on rotavirus NSP4 in several years…nice to know that I still got it. #viroporin #calciumsignaling #ephys #ionchannels

Dr. Sashi Ramani is part of our Pathways to Inclusive Enrichment (PIE) Committee! An assistant professor BCMHouston's Department of Molecular #Virology and #Microbiology , her lab studies GI infections from #rotavirus and #norovirus .

Very admirable work!

Say Hi! This NSP4 expressing cell is “waving” at you!

A GFP doughnut? 🍩
Nope! It is a #rotavirus viroplasm-associated membrane labeled with the GCaMP8s #calciumsignaling sensor. There are NSP4 #viroporins in them there membranes! And I think there are some small Ca2+ fluxes detected.

A postdoc position is available in my lab to study protein interactions at two of the neuron's most remarkable structures: the synapse and the axonal initial segment! BCM Department of Neuroscience #neuroscience

Dr. Mary K Estes (Estes Lab at BCM) is the founder and emeritus director of the TMC DDC, and the co-director of our Gastrointestinal Experimental Model Systems (GEMS) Core. She is also a distinguished service professor BCMHouston!

Thank you, Dr. Estes!

Happy #FluorescenceFriday with a Hyser Lab special: rotavirus induced calcium waves! 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️🏄

We found the protein that imports Ca2+ into lysosomes! Just as we breathe air in and out of our lungs, a lysosome sucks in and releases Ca2+ : a trait that's at the ♥️ of how lysosomes act. Lysosomes are multifunctional – each function involves fusion with a diff organelle; a🧵

Hey #organoid researchers.
Does anyone know if anyone has established Vervet monkey intestinal organoids?

What a week!
Yesterday was a successful thesis defense by Dr. Lance Perry @lpbeats AND acceptance of his paper in mBio during the defense party.

Now today a new paper by Kristen Engevik was accepted in AJP-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology!

Wow - so much to celebrate!

Exciting day for Hyser Lab! It’s a good day for a thesis defense 🔬🎉

Cool technique.

Do you use CFU assays?

Here is a new high-throughput, low-waste viability assay for microbes

All you need is agar media, pipette tips and a standard camera 🧫📸

Part 2 of my sleeve tattoo. I give you #electrophysiology of the #rotavirus NSP4 ion channel #viroporin .
Now I absolutely HAVE to stay in shape to keep these traces looking sharp.
