Exciting research from @RFG_Lab sheds light on cellular processes in tissue development and repair. The study reveals the role of Rap1 protein in collective cell migration and wound healing, and could be a therapeutic target for cancer metastasis: https://t.co/RhoFCLOiwF
Great article from @peiferlabunc on the history of the historiography of molecular biology. This is the best book on the early days of modern biology. I was fascinated by it as I read it first as an undergrad in the 1980s. https://t.co/SX0tRerDym
With a heavy heart we have to inform you that SUZANNE is missing from her hotel @orth_acad_crete since Tuesday. She was attending a meeting in Kolymbari, Crete. Search is on in full swing. Please spread this to reliable networks and PRAY for her safe return.(1/2)
Check out our latest preprint! "Together, our findings indicate that Cysts links apical polarity proteins to Rho1 and myosin activation at adherens junctions to support junctional and epithelial integrity in the Drosophila ectoderm." https://t.co/zYZtx3NQFV
We posted our first paper on bioRXiv: "Role of α-Catenin and its mechanosensing properties in the regulation of Hippo/YAP-dependent tissue growth".
Take a look.
