Stefan previously presented this story in the InSiDE seminar series @InSiDE_Seminar (signalingdynamics.org) x.com/InSiDE_Seminar…

Specific receptor phosphorylation events control response duration. Longer duration corresponds with higher priority cues.

Stefan's and Briana's paper on how differences in the duration of responses helps neutrophils decide which chemical trails to follow was just published in Science Signaling (@scisignal). science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A very clever strategy to do cell migration screens by @nbellive in the Theriot lab. We were very happy to be able to help!

Study on glioblastoma led by Courtney Dreyer: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Two recent papers from our collaborations with the Carraway lab @UCD_Cancer. The papers report that the planar cell polarity pathway promotes the migration and malignant properties of cancer cells. Study on breast cancer led by Kacey VanderVorst: …ast-cancer-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Very cool paper from @JasonPTown in the @OWeinerLab on signal processing controlling cell steering!

Very nice commentary that relates our recent collaboration in @CellSystemsCP to a broader picture of immune cell navigation by Schrope and Huttenlocher. cell.com/trends/immunol…

Catching up on some posts. We were very excited to see our collaboration led by @AHadjitheodorou in the Theriot lab published in @CellSystemsCP. cell.com/cell-systems/f…

Happy to share our new preprint from a project led by Stefan Lundgren and Briana Gregg: Signaling dynamics distinguish high and low priority neutrophil attractant receptors. Here is the link: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our latest collaboration led by @AHadjitheodorou! Microfluidic and optogenetic experiments suggests a "selective listening" model for cellular decision-making in complex environments: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now two preprints using optogenetics to understand directed cell migration. Theriot and Collins labs' collaboration🤝Overwriting cell front-rear polarity by activating subcellular optogenetic receptors @AHadjitheodorou et al. here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to announce another addition to @bioRxivpreprint: Using a novel optogenetic approach, George Bell showed that positive and negative signals downstream of G-proteins shape a rapid, dose-dependent Cdc42 response. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Especially with all wild, we're happy to welcome the newest Aggies to UC Davis. 😎 #new2UCDavis

Do or do not, there was no try for Shashank, so he did! 👨🏾‍🎓 Graduated with a BS in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, we welcome him back as a junior specialist (socially distant of course).

Wow wow, our family is really growing here as we welcome Dr. Kwabena A Badu-Nkansah as our first Post-Doc! 👨🏿‍🔬We are all so happy that you decided to join us and look forward to the exciting projects you're brewing up. North Carolina to Northern Cali.

Welcome young bloods! @Sam_Hayes70 👨🏼‍🔬 and @sernasDianasaur 👩🏾‍🔬 are 2 cool PhD students who've been working hard to safely ramp up their new and exciting projects. Our team's committed to precautionary actions to care for our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

📰 Got your optogenetic membrane proteins anchored? Dean and Dr. Collins have rolled out their preprint regarding Optimized iLID membrane anchors for local optogenetic protein recruitment. Here's the Link: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations, Briana Rocha-Gregg breaking grounds being our very 1st graduate! 👩🏻‍🎓 Dr. Rocha-Gregg's next stop with the Huttenlocher Lab at @UWMadison 🦡
