WCM-Q hosts international calcium signaling meeting @WCMQresearch qatar-weill.cornell.edu/media-center/n…

Postdoctoral position available in the Lab focusing on the cellular regulation of calcium signaling pathways during cell division and differention. If interested please apply at the below link. wcmq-academicpositions.odoo.com/jobs/postdocto…

If you’re interested in organelle contact sites, check out our latest review discussing their regulation during cell division. Quite interesting how cells differentially modulate different junctions. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/25…

Rapid Progesterone signaling remains poorly defined. Here we show that progesterone signaling during meiosis requires two receptors mPRb and ABHD2 working in tandem to induce lipid signaling through PLA2. An important contribution to mPR signaling. elifesciences.org/articles/92635

Check out our recent paper validating the physiological role of calcium tunneling in secretion and sweating rupress.org/jcb/article/22…

Mapping the detailed architecture of Ca2⁺ tunneling and modulating its function using a novel tunneling inhibitor show that tunneling enhances Cl⁻ secretion in cells and sweating in vivo. New from Courjaret, @kmachaca et al. @WCMQatar: hubs.la/Q02X6vQv0 #Physiology

Heartfelt congratulations to the five laureates for the #FWIS 2024 life science edition. An impressive group of scientists with exceptional achievements and impact. bit.ly/3JZbHn2

The official launching of the Qatar Precision Health Institute (QPHI). Qatar Biobank & Qatar Genome join forces, under one umbrella, ushering a new phase of Qatar Foundation’s mission to help put Qatar at the forefront of Precision Health implementation. @QF @QatarGenome @_QPHI

@CyertMartha @eirinit94 @jenntrosome @gingraslab1 @StearnsLab Well done! Congrats!

Very excited that our paper received 'best paper of 2023' prize! Congratulations to @eirinit94 and thanks to our co-author and awesome mentor @jenntrosome and collaborators @gingraslab1 @StearnsLab.

@NUFeinbergMed @mprakriya @NatureComms Great achievements Murali!

Inflammation is a common feature of many diseases. Murali Prakriya, PhD, discusses the evolution of this groundbreaking research in ion channels and his latest findings, which were published in @NatureComms, in this episode of our #BreakthroughsPodcast. spr.ly/6018kJdyC

Contact sites between organelles are critical for cell physiology. Interestingly during cell division the contacts between the ER and mitochondria expand with implications on cellular energetics. cell.com/iscience/fullt…

@mprakriya Very sad just 24 years old and such an accomplished star

“Having read (doi.org/10.1093/functi…) and associated papers, I urge the @APSPhysiology community to join me in requesting a transparent investigation of @APS_Function editorial practices and standards. #AcademicIntegrity #OpenScience”

Our (@TrebakM Hogan) rebuttal is out in @APS_Function. Scientific discourse is always welcomed! Does the editorial by @APS_Function editor qualify? You judge @APSPhysiology Reappraisal of The Reappraisal - CRAC Channels Are Activated by L-Type Ca2+ academic.oup.com/function/artic…

Congrats to all on a fabulous collaboration between the Yule and Patel labs exploring cross-talk in calcium signaling between lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum. cell.com/cell-reports/p…
