We are very excited to share our newest results, published in Science Advances: “Compressive stress-driven Piezo1 activation and Rho-ROCK mechanotransduction promote tumor progression via epigenetic mechanical memory”. https://t.co/TzwsRBuMHx

[Sophie Wiszniak @SophieWiszniak]

Adelaide University have written up a nice summary of our recent publication, describing how ‘a tiny cellular signal helps shape the human heart’

Excited to share our recent publication in which we identify new roles for neural crest cells in directing heart development, and new pathological mechanisms underpinning congenital heart disease!

Great to see this work led by @LDorstyn @CCB_Research funded by @nhmrc and many years in the making now out: Caspase-2 deficiency drives pathogenic liver polyploidy and increases age-associated hepatocellular carcinoma in mice | Science Advances https://t.co/Rbng59modd

We are so excited to launch this NHMRC CRE to generate new insight to, and ultimately new therapies for, lymphoedema! @CCB_Research @BenjaminHogan13

[Sharad Kumar @molregulation]

Excited to share our latest research. Led by Sonia Shah this work demonstrates how the ubiquitin ligase NEDD4L keeps Gasdermins D & E in check to prevent inflammatory cell death and tissue damage. @nhmrc @arc_gov_au @CCB_Research

👏👏👏 Congrats to @DrSarahBoyle from #UniSA’s @CCB_Research – winner of an SA #YoungTallPoppy award for her critical #research into #breastcancer progression and metastasis. Vital work that hopes to improve #cancer treatments and patient outcomes. #YTP25 #YTPawards @AIPS_science

[Sarah Boyle 👩🏻‍🔬🎀 @DrSarahBoyle]

Absolutely thrilled to receive an @AIPS_science 2025 SA Young Tall Poppy Award! Wouldn't be possible without a great team, dedicated patient advocates, & funding bodies that allowed me to connect with scientific/non-science groups to communicate research. https://t.co/suUCwtBMHL

[Sharad Kumar @molregulation]

Great to see this work led by Janni Manning @CCB_Research now out. The paper reports an unexpected finding that the deficiency of NEDD4-2 ubiquitin ligase in the kidney reduces blood glucose levels and corrects metabolic parameters in a diabetic model.

Someone born in 1990 is up to three times more likely to be diagnosed with #BowelCancer than someone born in 1950. Early onset bowel cancer is increasing globally and @UniversitySA & @CCB_Research scientist Prof Michael Samuel is on a quest to find out why https://t.co/ELneMX6uq1

[Philip Gregory @dr_phil_gregory]

My lab at the Center for Cancer Biology (UniSA, Adelaide, Australia) has a fully funded PhD position open to domestic or international students to explore the functions of alternative spliced isoforms in prostate cancer progression. @CCB_Research
