Very pleased that after a rigorous (and lengthy) review process, our paper visualizing how myosin generated forces modulate actin filament structure for mechanosensitive recogntion by α-catenin has appeared in @Nature

One of my favorite studies to come out of the Liu and Alushin labs. Check it out

Have you ever wondered what a car crash would look like at the nanoscale? Check out our latest preprint led by soon-to-be Dr. John Watters! @JWatts421 @Alushin_Lab @RockefellerUniv 🧬🚗

[Weintraub Graduate Student Award @WeintraubAward]

Huge congratulations to the recipients of the 2026 Weintraub Award! These twelve exceptional graduate students exemplify the bold, creative, and pioneering spirit embodied by Dr. Hal Weintraub. https://t.co/YWipospzW3

[Alushin_Lab @Alushin_Lab]

Very excited to share our latest preprint, where we visualize the impact of force on the catch bonding actin crosslinker α-actinin-4. Led by @alfredcchin, a great collaboration with Glen Hocky's lab.

Now online! A non-catalytic role for RFC in PCNA-mediated processive DNA synthesis https://t.co/uxxdVixiJz

[Rockefeller University @RockefellerUniv]

A study in @CellCellPress from Shixin Liu (@InLiuOfBulkExps) and Michael O’Donnell finds that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication: https://t.co/VAESLbM0pL

[LiuLab_Rockefeller @InLiuOfBulkExps]

Check out our paper @CellCellPress where we visualized the interplay between two key DNA replication factors PCNA & RFC and found an unexpected non-catalytic role of RFC in stabilizing PCNA’s interaction with DNA polymerase and enabling efficient synthesis https://t.co/2IxBuL0qYl

[LiuLab_Rockefeller @InLiuOfBulkExps]

Our work on single-molecule visualization of mammalian transcription elongation is online @NatureSMB today! Check out the open-access paper https://t.co/mCfPdBpAZl to see how Pol II acts as a multi-speed machine🚗We are thankful for our collaborators @RockefellerUniv @FudanUniv🙏

[Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol]

Vostal et al @KapoorLab_RU @RockefellerUniv report two structures of complexes formed by VCP, an unfoldase, & VCPIP1, a deubiquitinase, & suggest that VCPIP1 is poised to cleave #ubiquitin from protein substrates that translocate through VCP’s central pore https://t.co/kZGrClLUtI

[Alushin_Lab @Alushin_Lab]

Some happy news. Pleased to see our paper showing how afadin strengthens cytoskeletal engagement by the cadherin-catenin cell adhesion complex out in @ScienceAdvances : https://t.co/PMwJdcXscT

[Rockefeller University @RockefellerUniv]

Scientists in the @Alushin_Lab have figured out how cells build a structure that lets them migrate. Unpacking these “finger-like” protein bundles that protrude from cells may lead to novel treatments for metastasis. #RockefellerScience

Very happy to share our new review in @MolecularCell covering nucleic acid recognition and effector mechanisms for various prokaryotic immune systems! Was a great experience creating this with @MarraffiniLab!

[Andrea Candelli @AndreaCandelli]

Using the @LUMICKS C-Trap, the lab of @InLiuOfBulkExps provided unprecedented, real-time insights into the binding behavior of MeCP2, a protein linked to Rett syndrome, across methylated and unmethylated DNA and nucleosomes.

[Christian F. Baca @ChristianF_Baca]

Absolutely thrilled to share our new study, co-led by @PujaMajumder91 and myself, now online in @CellCellPress! Here, we characterize a CRISPR-associated adenosine deaminase, Cad1. Incredibly grateful for @MarraffiniLab making it possible. Synopsis below:

@science_SRH @LUMICKS_nl @matt_schaich @KaceyMersch Was great hanging out!😊

[Gabriella Chua @BetterAtCloning]

@Q_M_Smith @TPCB_NYC Thank you Quentin!!😁

[Gabriella Chua @BetterAtCloning]

Really honored to receive this award🤍😊 I was initially drawn to @TPCB_NYC for my graduate studies because the students were not just scientists; they were also leaders, advocates, & teachers fiercely focused on both science and society. Grateful!

[TPCB @TPCB_NYC]

We are delighted to announce that Gabriella Chua (@BadAtCloning) has been awarded the 2024 TPCB Student Service Award for her outstanding commitment to scientific outreach, peer mentoring, and training. Congratulations Gabriella! https://t.co/6PqARxlfJt
