Excited to share our latest work on how Ca²⁺ regulates actin in cell protrusions - now available as a preprint on bioRxiv! 🎉 Huge congrats to @ernest_iu for leading the project, and a special thanks to our amazing collaborators! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A TRPV4-dependent calcium signaling axis governs lamellipodial actin architecture to promote cell...

Cell migration is crucial for development and tissue homeostasis, while its dysregulation leads to severe pathologies. Cell migration is driven by the extension of actin-based lamellipodia protrusi...

New paper🚨: Ever wonder how plants talk to fungi? When plants are low on phosphate (Pi), they exude #Strigolactones (SLs) in soil to obtain Pi from microbes. We show a broad range of fungi in soil respond to SLs 👇 Is the SL response in fungi conserved? authors.elsevier.com/a/1jsQB…

Just received a conformation that I’ve been promoted to Associate Prof with tenure. Grateful for the support of my colleagues and excited to continue research at UofT. Most importantly, I would never achieve it without my amazing lab members and collaborators. Thank you so much!

I learned today that the warranty for Baker biosafety cabinets starts on the day of manufacturing, not the day of purchase or installation. If you get a brand new Baker BSC that was sitting in a warehouse for a year, you lose a year of warranty although paying full price 😠

Pimp your cells! Calcium protects cells from shear stress-induced damage during #bioprinting. Excited to share our paper @Biofabrication, doi.org/10.1088/1758-5090/ac…. Great work by @LenaFischer_Nue, many thanks @BenFabryErl, @DetschRainer, @Engel_FB_Lab, @SFB_TRR225!
Left: Calcium rescues the survival of NIH/3T3 cells printed at high needle pressure. Right: Plasma membrane disruption at increasing shear stress, visualized by increased FM 1-43 fluorescent membrane dye incorporation along a microfluidic channel radius, is strongly reduced in the presence of calcium.
