For the last 34 years I have been on the faculty of the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of Biology and have never regretted that decision. This year we are hiring TWO new Assistant Professors in the broad area of Molecular, Cell, Developmental Biology 1/n bio.unc.edu

🚨Excited to announce a new preprint from our lab, where we describe an ancient metabolic axis that controls mitochondrial genome copy number; a mechanism we uncovered in human cells that stretches through evolution to control mtDNA in flies, yeast and even plants!

Our new study is out in Nature Communications. Using TNBC organoid mouse models, we show that necroptosis in both tumour and stromal compartments cooperatively drives effective responses to immunogenic cell death–based immunotherapy. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Necroptosis in both tumour and stromal compartments determines responsiveness to immunogenic cell death-based immunotherapy - Nature Communications

Most advanced triple-negative breast cancers remain resistant to immunotherapy. Here, the authors discover that RIPK1-driven necroptosis in both tumor and stromal compartments is essential for effecti...

Excited to share our latest work in collaboration with the @edreznik.bsky.social lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social, where we describe functionally dominant mitochondrial DNA mutations in patient tumors. So, what is functional dominance in mitochondrial genetics, I hear you ask? rdcu.be/eN1jm

Call for papers: In Vitro Models of Human Disease to Inform Mechanism and Drug Discovery Deadline approaching: Monday 3 November 2025 journals.biologists.com/dmm/pages/in... #Biology #Research #Disease #Discovery #Organoids #Tumours #Gastruloids #Assembloids

Promotional graphic for a special issue of Disease Models & Mechanisms titled "In Vitro Models of Human Disease to Inform Mechanism and Drug Discovery." The left side of the image contains text announcing the call for papers, edited by Vivian Li, Austin Smith, and Joseph Wu, with a submission deadline of 3 November 2025. The right side features a vibrant, microscopic image of biological tissue or cell structures in vivid pink, blue, and yellow hues, representing the complexity of in vitro disease models. The design combines scientific detail with visual appeal to attract submissions for the issue.

Everyone at Aberdeen FC is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Aberdeen born football legend Denis Law. One of Scotland’s greatest ever players, his legacy will live on in the North-east. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
