I'm shocked to see racism happening in academia again, at the best AI conference @NeurIPSConf. Targeting specific ethnic groups to describe misconduct is inappropriate and unacceptable. @NeurIPSConf must take a stand. We call on Rosalind Picard @MIT @medialab to retract and apologize for her statement.
Was trying to figure out how could the curve for the fit in G make sense, then realized that is my hair…

Super happy to share my latest PhD paper. In this work, we uncover a novel mechanism responsible for the branched F-actin polymerization in the rear of cells. This work reveals that Arp2/3-based actin carries out a previously unappreciated function in building the rear cortex.
.@dongli02, Yihong Yang, Huaqing Cai et al. delineate a signaling pathway responsible for the polarized assembly of cortical F-actin in rapidly migrating cells. bit.ly/40z4mBe

Molecular simulations reveal how membrane pores are formed by gasdermin-D, a protein important in cell death in inflammation and infection. elifesciences.org/articles/8…

Wang, Cai &co report a metabolic role of macropinocytosis regulated by Slc15A in Dictyostelium; more in our Research highlight: ow.ly/VfKI50IVepL
Congrats on two very nice persons in my former lab. 🎉 Studying cool science on how cell sense nutrition conditions at very first steps of macropinocytosis (Yiwei Zhang) and a new mechanism of Rab switching during endosome maturation (Reference doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-2…) (Tu Hui)
Take a look at our 'First persons' interview with Yiwei Zhang and Hui Tu on their PhD work in the lab of Huaqing Cai at Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, investigating lipid transport: ow.ly/vMuQ50ITafI

Right now, I happened to know that Dictyostelium will go through closed mitosis (or at least semi-open mitosis).
My world start to crush.🤯
