Typical cell biology antics with atypical cadherins. Lab at Penn State College of Medicine interested in planar polarity, cell adhesion and skin biology.
Sacculation🛍️. The penultimate stage of lung🫁 development. In Dev Cell @CellPressNews researchers in the Devenport and Nelson labs show how planar cell polarity proteins work in the mesenchyme to prepare lungs for their first breath. https://t.co/kmXktd5l0Q
So pleased to announce that the first chunk of my graduate work is out now in @Dev_Cell 🫁🐭🔬 here we investigated the role of the planar cell polarity complex in lung sacculation, identifying a PCP-independent role for Vangl in the pulmonary mesenchyme https://t.co/UgEFcqxLT9
Can't wait to enjoy @EdelOToole's presentation at the IPCC Symposium. I always learn new things whenever she speaks and she genuinely cares for patients and improving their lives.
It’s Day 3 at #MCS24 and we are lucky to have Andrew Kowalczyk (@cellJxn) from Penn State University with his talk titled ‘INTERCELLULAR JUNCTIONS: ORGANIZERS OF ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM MORPHOLOGY AND DYNAMICS’
Greetings from Sunny Cancun! Our #MCS24 attendees have been busy making new “Contacts” this weekend! We cannot wait to celebrate all the fantastic research at our Gala Dinner this evening! ☀️💃🕺
Excited our new grp focused on the rare genetic blistering disorders #Darier & #HaileyHailey Disease will partner w/@Pachyonychia for 2 awesome symposia before @SocInvestDerm 2024 mtg. We aim to bring together researchers & clinicians to kindle translational synergy in our field!
Our latest on planar polarity mechanisms:

No long thread (be grateful!) but the highlights are in the graphical abstract.
We're excited because after decades of work we think we're moving towards a molecular understanding of what the proteins do.
The 2024 @GordonConf /GRS Signaling by Adhesion Receptors (July 13 - 19) is now open for applicants!! Forefront science and top speakers on cell adhesion and signaling in health and disease. Apply and submit your abstract! https://t.co/lJdCb1YGn1 @MaddyParso24207@Dunn_Lab
PCP signalling in the rosette fancy mouse – give us a whorl

Penn State is hiring a senior cryo-EM faculty member. Single Particle or Tomography. The campus is beautiful and the cryo-EM facility is full of amazing instrumentation.
Think about it. Or mention it to a friend.

Led by graduate student Ellie Lesko, who is now with @bostonsci, we were interested to know more about how AIRE deficiency influences non-melanoma skin cancer development.
