Very cool. Bitter sensation and airway protective reflexes are actually mediated by cell types that despite different tissue distribution, share developmental trajectory (pou2f3) and sensory signaling pathway (T2R-TRPM5-Calhm).

✨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/…

Alignment between heat activation and agonist activation of an ion channel!! (This study represents one step further in understanding the structural basis for TRP channels’ temperature regulation, from the previous one done with TRPM4, published a year ago also by Juan/Wei labs)!

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

It's my great honor to contribute a group of data to the work! It is always exciting to see the long-sought-after findings that perfectly explain the phenomenon as we hypothesized, but then find something novel that points to the hidden unknown about the new channel.

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/…

I remembered as a kid reading about Jesse Owens, who won the gold medal in track-and-field at 1936 Olympics, crushing Hitler's propaganda of “Aryan supremacy”. Now 2024 Paris witnessed Pan make history too!

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.

@alexmsci Yes! Join us in 2026! Ion channel and transporter scientists should cross-communicate with each others and spark new ideas~

@peter_leaf Glad you were able to do that. I almost went to that conference and I was thinking to do the same…

Visited Acadia National Park after Gordon conference, as I did 8 years ago. The same view at different time and in different weathers (2024 vs 2016) is like the same protein structure of different conformations: You see the dynamics! :P sorry for my nerdy joke…

As an ion channel person, I've found myself learn a lot during this GRC, which is focused on transporters! The conference covers many disciplines in the membrane protein field, engages a variety of new technologies, bridges academia and industry. Thanks Prof Ryan for your hosting
Prof Renae Ryan@renaemryan1

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

@xinjin @liye_tsri Exploring mountains, trying new food, growing peaches and doing biological science are several ways of deeply understanding nature and must have some correlation. @liye_tsri is an expertise in all!

Wow! Congratulations to all the investigators especially our own @liye_tsri !!! He’s a brilliant scientist and a generous colleague — also an avid mountain explorer, a true foodie, and produces arguably the best peach in SoCal (x 3-4 varieties)!

Thank you,@CellCellPress, for saving a precious CellBio Cover for a DevNeuro study😉 Kenichi Toma led the work with colleagues at @UCSFNSGrad @UCSF @Stanford @genentech #Retinalganglioncell #angiogenesis #ophthalmology—more threads to follow soon.

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.
