Stem cell differentiation involves passing through a reversible "licensing" (aka "specification") step, which we don't understand well. Why does this exist? @RGarciaTejera may have an explanation, from his modelling work predicting how the stem cell pool is impacted.
Stem cells often get licensed for differentiation and yet remain capable of fully regaining stem cell function. What is the role of licensing in homeostasis and regeneration? Read our latest preprint with @LinusSchumacher, @ramon_grima and Marc Amoyel:

New lab preprint! Very excited to share this work, led by Ruoxu Wang. We study how stem cell fate is controlled post-transcriptionally and find a new regulator of translation initiation:

So we hypothesise that the phosphorylation of eIF3d is a way to strengthen the eIF3-eIF4F interaction. Indeed, work by Mykola in the @TelemanLab shows that CK2 inhibition weakens the interaction between eIF3d and eIF4F.
This is a great opportunity to join our lab (or others, there are some) for a funded PhD. Applications due early Jan, so get in touch if interested.
Announcing our new scholarship scheme! 👏
The UCL Research Excellence Scholarships (RES) is offering up to 40 scholarships to exceptional applicants from any country to pursue MPhil and PhDs at UCL!

Ben and @Vaishali_Tw have a poster #P371 in physiology and metabolism, and Ruoxu is presenting poster #P78 on his phd work looking at translation control in stem cells.
We'd love your feedback on all these projects!
Want to study ERK dynamics in real time? There's an improved tool to do just that!
@WilcocksonScott and @devsiglab's paper is out! We made the fly version of Scott's new construct. Read about it here, and get the fly stocks @flystocks (#95284-8)!
