Nagaraj Balasubramanian@AdhesionLab·
Out this week. Wonderful work led by Prachi and @ArnavSaha19 , supported by Radhika and others. A worthy prequel to the mechanosensing role of AXL at the Golgi. @BiologyOpen journals.biologists.com/bio/article/15…

The AXL-Golgi story... has two parts, both of which are now published. 1) AXL receptor tyrosine kinase regulates Golgi organization and function via an adhesion-Arf1 signaling axis in breast and lung cancer cell lines tinyurl.com/AXLGolgi1 @BiologyOpen 2) Differential AXL expression and Arf1 regulation control stiffness-dependent Golgi organization in breast cancer cells tinyurl.com/AXLGolgi2 @J_Cell_Sci Together, they make for a comprehensive story identifying the role of AXL in controlling Golgi organization and its regulation by mechanosensory cues (matrix stiffness). Work started as a simple screen by Prachi to pick AXL as a gene of interest, taken forward by @ArnavSaha19 and @Tush96rkhane. Supported ably by many others. It's also nice to be able to use data from Vibhas's @SVibha1 studies in this paper, as she identified the adhesion-Golgi connection many years ago. Congratulations to all involved in this study, which was challenging and exciting in equal measure.

Riku O. Korkiamäki & colleagues report a new interaction between Drosophila Filamin and Drak. In this study, they tested the hypothesis that Filamin and Drak are mechanotransduction partners during cellularization and during IFM development. Read more: journals.biologists.com/bio/article/15…

Recently, an optical density (OD)-based technique for quantifying bacterial killing assays has steadily gained popularity. Now, Mariah Painter & co compare colony counts and OD-based methods using leukocytes isolated from Mojave desert tortoises. doi.org/10.1242/bio.06…
