Stress response signaling networks, cell homeostasis, ISR, UPR and the likes!

[Diego Acosta-Alvear @daa_lab]

Very excited to have joined @Altos_Labs in the Bay Area with a fantastic group of colleagues. Looking forward to continuing our work on stress responses and cell homeostasis to understand their impact on cell health and rejuvenation reprogramming.

We just posted our investigations into the mesoscale organization of Wnt signaling components to the bioRxiv:

@maxzwilson Congrats MZW lab! Cool story!

[Diego Acosta-Alvear @daa_lab]

Shoutout to stellar postdoc @franzappa2 and team for this outstanding piece of work!

[Diego Acosta-Alvear @daa_lab]

Very happy to share our latest work in which we describe a new signaling feature of the integrated stress response kinase PKR: the formation of dynamic PKR clusters that serve as enzyme sinks that fine-tune PKR-eIF2a interactions.

Our CRISPR-based covid test is published: https://t.co/YV1H34PMEB

Added clinical evaluations since the pre-print. Hoping this helps where there are testing shortages.

Thanking the amazing team-science culture @mcdbucsb department @lab_arias @daa_lab @KosikLab

Our CRISPR-based Covid surveillance study results are out: https://t.co/rhMkM8kPs6

We think we caught the leading edge of a wave of cases coming through the UCSB community.

Amazing work from an incredible team including @lab_arias @daa_lab @KosikLab labs.
