Correlative MIMS-EM imaging reveals metabolic turnover from organelle to organismal scales in C. elegans during dietary restriction

Alessandra Norris, Christopher Acree, Li Peng, Rafael Arrojo e Drigo, Kristopher Burkewitz

This study uses MIMS-EM to analyze metabolic turnover in C. elegans during dietary restriction, revealing tissue- and resource-specific changes at multiple scales.

Primary cilia promote cardiac fibrosis and limit heart function after myocardial infarction

Xinyue Liu, Alessandra Norris, Ambili Bai Appu, Emily Wilson, Hao Zhang, Jeffrey E. Olgin, Jeremy F. Reiter, Daniel Kopinke

This study shows that primary cilia in cardiac fibroblasts promote fibrosis and impair heart function after myocardial infarction by amplifying fibrotic signaling.

FAP-intrinsic Hedgehog signaling controls intramuscular adipogenesis, fibrosis, and myofiber regeneration

Xinyue Liu, Vincent He, Benedict Deepesh, Alessandra Norris, Daniel Kopinke

This study shows that FAPs are the primary cells responding to Hedgehog signaling during muscle regeneration, and their signaling competence is critical for preventing adipogenesis, fibrosis, and promoting myofiber repair.
