Savage-Dunn Lab

The final formatted version of our paper on TGF-β ligands in host-pathogen response is now out in #PLOSGenetics ! This work supports the existence of cross-subfamily heterodimers, a hypothesis we plan to test next ~~~ dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

This month's Editor's Choice highlights an article on the connection between #InnateImmunity and #LipidMetabolism, investigated using the worm model #Celegans Read the short, simple retelling here journals.biologists.com/dmm/article/18… More details in the thread.

🪱 SAVE THE DATE 🪱 Join us in Davis, CA, for 5 days of presentations covering an array of topics in Worm research, & countless networking opportunities! Browse the #Worm25 website for details on awards & funding, speakers, & more as it's available: bit.ly/4cgGOGm

Graduate student Kierra Ware giving her oral presentation at the FASEB TGF-Beta SRC conference along with our proud PI giving a talk as well! Thank you to the Anita Roberts Travel award for making this trip possible!#TGFSRC #FASEBorg

A truly inspiring experience! #TGFSRC We had a valuable opportunity to dive into the latest advancements in the field, learn from cutting-edge discussions and connect with brilliant scientists from academia and industry. We came back full of energy and new ideas!💡🧪🧫

What an amazing week behind TTlab! 🎉 From July 21 until July 25, we participated at the FASEB TGF-β Superfamily conference held in Niagara Falls, NY. 🌊 #TGFSRC

Fantastic meeting as always at #TGFSRC #TGFSRC24 this time in Niagara Falls! Posters by @Ingridql @Edan19952 and Clara Andersson-Rusch. Bringing lots of inspiration back to Trondheim! @FASEBorg

And just like that, the 2024 #TGFSRC comes to an end! Once again, I return with a mind brimming with new ideas to explore in the lab, new connections made, and even more questions to answer. I am incredibly proud of the work done by @ClarissaBecher and @mariuswits! @CVCBLeiden

Fantastic time at #TGFSRC24 Niagra Falls. What a great group of Scientists to discuss ideas with and to see grow. Going home Wiser and with new experiments to rapidly do. Until next time.#Fasebsrc

@DrGTWU Thanks Tina! Wonderful to see you as always!

#FASEBorg #TGFSRC24 #TGFSRC last day of the meeting! Tom Thompson gave co-organizers bottles of wine from a wine tour. The award winners were announced and 2026 meeting organizers were voted on. A native American group & a blues group were a great way to end! Thanks, organizers!

And postbac Zach Wing had a very successful presentation of his poster yesterday!

Grad student Kat Yamamoto gave a great talk today at #TGFSRC24 #TGFSRC ! #proudPI

Our editorial board members @mythreyelab (also in the organisatorial team) and @TorilHol are currently at the TGF-beta meeting in Niagara Falls #TGFSRC #TGFSRC24 @FASEBorg - still going for two days, maybe you can catch up for a talk

It's the second day of #TGFSRC in Niagara Falls 💦. I'm very happy and grateful for the invitation to share my thoughts (and the European 🇪🇺 perspective) on #diversity in scientific research. Now, it's time to continue with more excellent talks and discussions. @FASEBorg

After literally 24 hours of travel, I have finally arrived in Niagara Falls 🇺🇸 for this year’s #TGFb superfamily conference! I'm excited for a week of intense TGFb/#BMP signaling discussions with over a hundred friends, collaborators, and mentors. @NanoCINN #Duffhueslab #TGFSRC

Excellent keynote by Vicki Rosen covering the discovery and functions of BMPs in bone #TGFSRC

Scholar Rock is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of the @FASEBorg Science Research Conference on TGFβ signaling. We look forward to presenting a poster next week highlighting the structural characterization and clinical potential of our TGFβ1 inhibitory antibodies. #TGFSRC

In a week, I’ll be at the FASEB TGF-beta Superfamily meeting in Niagara Falls, NY, organized by @ThompsonLab3, U. Cincinnati, Mythreye Karthikeyan, U. AL at Birmingham, and @CSwormlab, my co-author at CUNY-Queens College! Thanks for organizing! I’m looking forward to it!

Enjoyed learning about the roles of activin in wound healing and the extracellular matrix. Looking forward to Sabine Werner's talk @FASEBorg #TGFSRC #TGFSRC24 rdcu.be/dNfIE

Journal club: Very interesting paper on interactions between Smad1, Smad5, and progesterone receptor in @eLife. Looking forward to Marty Matzuk's keynote @FASEBorg #TGFSRC #TGFSRC24 doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…
