ATLAS, a rationally designed transsynaptic tracer is out today! Plasmids will soon be available on @Addgene addgene nature.com/articles/s4159… Many thanks to first authors Jackie Rivera and Haoyang Huang, and to collaborators, @blsabatini @Kanoski_Lab @vincentw_weng @beherring

✨New paper from my lab out now in @CellCellPress ! We identified pathways for airway protective reflexes—swallowing and coughing—in mice, driven by rare throat chemosensory cells that signal vagal nerves via channel synapses. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Convergent Agonist and Heat Activation of Nociceptor TRPM3! Congrats to Juan and Wei and their team! @rigbylab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Epitope tagging with genome editing in mice reveals that the proton channel OTOP1 is apically localized and not restricted to Type III “sour” taste receptor cells jneurosci.org/content/early/…

The @CIRMnews has awarded over $28M to Stuart Lipton and @xinjin for studies on pollution’s role in autism & psychiatric risk genes. Using S-nitrosylation pathways & advanced genomic screens, the projects seek new insights into neuropsychiatric disorders. ow.ly/FrmK50TN9Xa


After all the transphobia, witch-hunting, and the despicable and unsportsmanlike disrespect shown by a handful of athletes - let THIS image be the one that stays with you: After Imane Khelif won her gold medal bout her opponent, Yang Liu of China, embraced her with a smile.

Pan Zhanle: "Before the 4x100 relay on the first day, I greeted Chalmers [Australian swimmer] and he simply ignored me. Alexy of the US team, when we were training, splashed water on my coach; it just felt like they looked down on us." This man let the hate flow through him.


Last day of a fantastic week of science and networking at the #MembraneTransportProteins @GordonConf Huge thanks to my superstar co-chair @DrSusieLIngram1 Love this supportive community including our past, present and future chairs👇@madamscientist











As part of the #50YearsofCell, our 2nd focus issue on Cell Biology is out! This issue expands upon our first anniversary focus issue on cell biology by turning the spotlight toward areas where cell biology is forging ahead, including fresh looks at mitochondria and the concept of cell state In addition, it features research articles on the unequal contribution of the first two blastomeres to the future body and the 3D reconstruction of a gastrulating human embryo, as well as how the circadian infiltration and function of T cells dictates immunotherapy efficacy.
