Very excited to be sharing our new paper, just out in Nature Cell Biology! The big question we investigate: How do migrating cells put their front 🔴 and back 🔵 in the right place?

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

Happy 30th birthday to this paper published March 22, 1996, one of the studies that moved chromatin biology from correlation toward mechanism. Brownell et al. linked a transcription-associated Tetrahymena HAT to yeast Gcn5p, providing a biochemical link for chromatin modification to gene activation.

Excited to share our work on epithelial multilayering - identifying why stem cell stay in the basal layer and how and why differentiating cells move up. Great collab with @manningresearch.bsky.social and Niessen labs! Check out preprint and great summary below www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Sleep matters for joint health! In our new paper led by Dr Liz Rowlands, we studied sleep habits of 500,000 people. Osteoarthritis risk was highest with <6 hours of nightly sleep and significantly increased by shift work. acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

See this? This = implanting mouse embryo. Usually this happens inside its mother and is invisible to us, but we can actually watch implantation ex vivo with the hope of understanding why implantation goes awry in embryos of older women. A 🧵...

How do LMNA mutations cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and other #laminopathies? In our latest preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2024...), led by the amazing Noam Zuela-Sopilniak and Julien Morival, we show that cardiomyocyte-specific lamin A/C depletion causes severe DCM, consistent with other studies.

How do altered levels of lamins and other nuclear envelope proteins contribute to cancer metastasis, and what role does #mechanobiology play here? Learn more in our recent review by fantastic Sarah Henretta, now out in NPJ - Biological Physics and Mechanics, open access: doi.org/10.1038/s443...
