We ❤️ the adherens junction.

@SeptinLab Ahhh… so that’s the story behind the Bon Jovi tattoo.

[Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol]

Last October, cell biology lost one of its brightest stars, Bill Weis. Bill was a masterful biochemist and structural biologist who made landmark contributions to a remarkable number of fields. An obituary from Mark Peifer @peiferlabunc and Alexander Dunn: https://t.co/yN3duTw2FP

Bill was a brilliant scientist, an exceptional colleague, and a wonderful mentor. It was a privilege to know him and work with him. A terrible loss. RIP.

With sorrow, we (@Stanford_MCP @SSBiophysics) share news that our friend & colleague, Bill Weis, passed away Oct 13,2023. Among many other reasons, he is missed for his discoveries, mentoring, and for the gift of his incisive intellect, wry wit, & kindness. RIP.

@WohleverL Woah, is that a window in the lab?! Say goodbye to natural light. 😉

[Wohlever_Lab @WohleverL]

The Wohlever Lab is moving to the Department of Cell Biology at the University of Pittsburgh! Official start date is August 1st. Thanks to collaborators, colleagues, and current/former lab members for helping launch the lab at UToledo.

@CellJxn Oh wait, not that Prince. 🫅🏻

[Kwiatkowski Lab @KwiatkowskiLab]

@CellJxn Was great to host a fellow Keystoner! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work on the desmosome and ER. See you in June at the GRC!

Thanks to @KwiatkowskiLab - aka the "Prince of Pittsburgh" - for the invite to the University of Pittsburgh! It was wonderful to spend time with so many amazing adhesion and organelle biologists. I especially enjoyed the campus tour and the famous "Cathedral of Learning".

We're sad to report the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Marcel Bruchez. He was a brilliant scientist, an entrepreneur and innovator, and a beloved teacher and mentor. He will be deeply missed. https://t.co/kqDYlQrJD7

Can’t disagree.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

Name a city that exceeded expectations upon your first visit. I’ll start with Pittsburgh. I knew PNC Park would be awesome. I did not realize Pittsburgh the city is also fucking awesome.

New paper!

This surprising finding suggests one way by which the cell generates stable linkages between the membrane and cytoskeleton while still allowing rapid cytoskeletal remodeling. Congrats @ElginKorkmazhan!

Delighted to announce the publication of our paper in @PNASNews resolving the molecular mechanisms for strengthening cadherin adhesion using monoclonal antibodies.

@SeptinLab What about “Walk This Way” from Aerosmith (the original from 1975)? Also reached top 10 in ‘77. The rap remake with Run-D.M.C. a decade later is pretty true to the original.
