Castillo-Azofeifa D, Seidel K, Gross L, Golden EJ, Jacquez B, Klein OD, Barlow LA.Development. 2018 Jul 17;145(14). pii: dev1648

Using a combination of conditional genetics and a Hedgehog pathway inhibitor, David showed that SOX2 is required downstream of Hedgehog signaling for differentiation of taste bud cells, as well as reveal a more general requirement for SOX2 in tongue epithelium renewal.

David successfully defended his thesis! Congratulations, Dr. Castillo Azofeifa!

What's going on in the Barlow Lab

AchemS 2021 virtual meeting kicks off today with a welcome address by AchemS president Linda! Lauren's talk is part of the Molecular/developmental approaches in chemosensation session and Dany is presenting a poster

A collective effort in the lab resulted in the publication of a JoVE methods article on how to grow lingual organoids from mouse taste stem cells. Video coming soon!

Dany and Linda published a new review about taste bud maintenance and impairment in cancer therapies in a special issue of Chemical Senses

Linda co-authored a review on cellular diversity and regeneration in taste buds published in Current Opinion in Physiology

Erin's paper preprint is now available in bioRxiv

Very nice lab hike today at Corwina park with lots of wildlife viewing, including a bear and her cub!

The Barlow lab welcomes a new member, CSD student Tina Piarowski!

Linda's new review on COVID-19 and the chemical senses is now available online at Neuron

As guest editor for JoVE, Dany is organizing a video Methods Collection titled “Current tools and methods in taste science”

We finally received the notice of award for a new R01 to explore the contribution of different populations of lingual progenitors in taste cell renewal!

In times of social distancing and stay-at-home order, Dwight the lab mascot has found the perfect occupation: reading about Hedgehog signaling and taste bud cell renewal!

New article published in Scientific Reports!

The Barlow lab attended the Cell Biology, Stem Cells and Development graduate program retreat in Breckenridge, CO. Lauren had a poster on taste organoids, and Dany gave a talk on head and neck irradiation and taste.

Erin's abstract was picked for one of only 8 postdoc talks in the Hilde Mangold Postdoctoral Symposium at the Society for Developmental Biology 78th Annual Meeting in Boston in July.

Finally got that Notice of Award for our new R21 to use lingual organoids to determine how cancer drugs that cause taste dysfunction in patients actually impact how taste bud cells renew.

Linda co-organized the 2019 Southwest Society for Developmental Biology Regional Meeting at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (March 7-9)

Dany co-authored an editorial "New evidence for fat as a primary taste quality" with Sue Kinnamon (Dept of Otolaryngology, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus)

Linda, Erin, Dany and Ben attended the 1st Identifying Treatments for Taste and Smell Disorders Conference (ITTSD) in Philadelphia, PA (Nov 14-15, 2018)

David's paper was published in Development "SOX2 regulation by hedgehog signaling controls adult lingual epithelium homeostasis."

Dany's PLOS Genetics article was featured on Biomedical Picture of the Day

Dany's article "β-catenin is required for taste bud cell renewal and behavioral taste perception in adult mice" was published in PLOS Genetics

David Graduated!

David and Linda's paper was published in Methods in Molecular Biology, Craniofacial Biology!

Linda and Shoba's article was published in Development!

Linda's review article was published in Development!
