Employing protein tagging, scientists identify interaction networks centered on the #p38 homolog PMK-1 in C. elegans that facilitate phenotypic plasticity during development, in several tissue types, and in response to stresses and aging. @UTSWMedCenter scim.ag/3QUnIAT

I am beyond thrilled to become a Searle Scholar!
Thank you @CRI_UTSW, @SJMorrison_ @RalphDeBerardinis (no longer on X), @RobertoZoncu for all your support and mentorship!
Congrats, @HijaiShin 👏👏 CRI's newest investigator has been named a 2025 Searle Scholar to support her #relentlessdiscovery & innovative research on lysosomes. From her discovery of LYCHOS to future plans, read more ➡️cri.utsw.edu/shin-named-2025…

In this month's Editorial we discuss why basic research is the backbone of advances in medicine and improvements to the human condition - and that basic research needs essential support from government funding.

With its UFO-like display, the cuttlefish may look like it’s trying to get attention—but its intent is anything but.

A species of comb jelly (Mnemiopsis leidyi) can age backward when stressed, reversing its development from a sexually mature life cycle stage to an earlier larval stage—a finding relevant to the study of aging and rejuvenation in animals. In PNAS: ow.ly/qRqQ50U1AtH

Delighted to share new work led by Josh Meisel w/Gary Ruvkun using forward genetics to discover a new mode of post-transcriptional gene regulation. The mechanism involves mRNA methylation and P-bodies to allow neuron-specific mitochondrial gene expression.

Happy to have this invited Opinion article out in @Dev_Cell. I highlight the changing landscape of the lipid biology field as it embraces omics-oriented methods.
I humbly try to discuss a challenge of our times: how to make big data useful & accessible?
