CollinsLab

Our lab is interested in how neutrophils process information, make decisions, and enact appropriate responses.

Stefan previously presented this story in the InSiDE seminar series @InSiDE_Seminar (https://t.co/IGAggFwURA) https://t.co/MCj5uHqFDr

[InSiDESignalingDynamics @InSiDE_Seminar]

Only one month of InSiDE left! Join us this Thursday for talks from the Collins Lab and Ran Kafri!

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Stefan's and Briana's paper on how differences in the duration of responses helps neutrophils decide which chemical trails to follow was just published in Science Signaling (@scisignal). https://t.co/KeZyKUpyxb

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Specific receptor phosphorylation events control response duration. Longer duration corresponds with higher priority cues.

A very clever strategy to do cell migration screens by @nbellive in the Theriot lab. We were very happy to be able to help!

[Nathan Belliveau @nbellive]

Happy to have this work out! Some of my postdoctoral work with Julie Theriot. https://t.co/vwdQeUKx1N (thanks for the support @JCChildsFund and @NIGMS)

Two recent papers from our collaborations with the Carraway lab @UCD_Cancer. The papers report that the planar cell polarity pathway promotes the migration and malignant properties of cancer cells. Study on breast cancer led by Kacey VanderVorst: https://t.co/ZOJFcfRPfI

Very cool paper from @JasonPTown in the @OWeinerLab on signal processing controlling cell steering!

[Weiner Lab @OWeinerLab]

We are spinning in circles with excitement to see @JasonPTown fabulous work out @PLOSBiology ⤵️

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Very nice commentary that relates our recent collaboration in @CellSystemsCP to a broader picture of immune cell navigation by Schrope and Huttenlocher. https://t.co/k38nGVkHS3

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Catching up on some posts. We were very excited to see our collaboration led by @AHadjitheodorou in the Theriot lab published in @CellSystemsCP. https://t.co/iPKJNl4xbI

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Happy to share our new preprint from a project led by Stefan Lundgren and Briana Gregg: Signaling dynamics distinguish high and low priority neutrophil attractant receptors. Here is the link:

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Excited to share our latest collaboration led by @AHadjitheodorou! Microfluidic and optogenetic experiments suggests a "selective listening" model for cellular decision-making in complex environments:

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Now two preprints using optogenetics to understand directed cell migration. Theriot and Collins labs' collaboration🤝Overwriting cell front-rear polarity by activating subcellular optogenetic receptors @AHadjitheodorou et al. here: https://t.co/EgcdR7fhin

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Thrilled to announce another addition to @bioRxivpreprint: Using a novel optogenetic approach, George Bell showed that positive and negative signals downstream of G-proteins shape a rapid, dose-dependent Cdc42 response. https://t.co/ItrqIeqqrH

Especially with all wild, we're happy to welcome the newest Aggies to UC Davis. 😎

Do or do not, there was no try for Shashank, so he did! 👨🏾‍🎓 Graduated with a BS in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, we welcome him back as a junior specialist (socially distant of course).

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Wow wow, our family is really growing here as we welcome Dr. Kwabena A Badu-Nkansah as our first Post-Doc! 👨🏿‍🔬We are all so happy that you decided to join us and look forward to the exciting projects you're brewing up. North Carolina to Northern Cali.

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Welcome young bloods! @Sam_Hayes70 👨🏼‍🔬 and @sernasDianasaur 👩🏾‍🔬 are 2 cool PhD students who've been working hard to safely ramp up their new and exciting projects. Our team's committed to precautionary actions to care for our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

📰 Got your optogenetic membrane proteins anchored? Dean and Dr. Collins have rolled out their preprint regarding Optimized iLID membrane anchors for local optogenetic protein recruitment. Here's the Link: https://t.co/Gy4DcY8PRu

[CollinsLab @CollinsLab1]

Congratulations, Briana Rocha-Gregg breaking grounds being our very 1st graduate! 👩🏻‍🎓 Dr. Rocha-Gregg's next stop with the Huttenlocher Lab at @UWMadison 🦡
