Rob Tetley tells us about his recent publication in Nature Physics
In a recent publication in Nature Physics, the Mao Lab and colleagues investigated the role of tissue fluidity in promoting epithelial wound healing. We've asked Rob Tetley to tell us about the research.
Taki Nishimura on his recent publication in Molecular Cell
We've asked Taki Nishimura to tell us about his recent publication in Molecular Cell.
Visualising membrane organisation at the atomistic level
A new study by the Stefan lab and colleagues in Molecular Cell uses quantitative cell biological, lipidomics, and biophysical approaches to reveal how nanoscale lipid organisation ultimately controls dynamic global events taking place at the cell membrane.
New review in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta by Nishimura and Stefan
A new review in BBA Molecular and Cellular Biology of Lipids by Taki Nishimura and Chris Stefan discusses specialized ER membrane domains for lipid metabolism and transport, highlighting past a
New publication in Journal of Biological Chemistry for Ketteler Lab
In all eukaryotic cells, ubiquitin is a major post-translational modification that tags proteins for degradation.
LMCB Greeners awarded Gold for their efforts in sustainability
On July 18th, the Sustainability Team hosted UCL’s seventh Sustainability Awards ceremony, celebrating the achievements of teams and Green Champions across UCL. Our very own LMCB Greeners picked up a Gold Award for their efforts in promoting sustainability at the LMCB. Their hard work and enthusiasm has had a huge impact on making the LMCB a healthy and sustainable workplace.
New publication in Scientific Reports for de Bruin Lab
Specific proteins, called histones, are involved in packaging DNA in the cell nucleus, thus affecting the accessibility of genes to be transcribed. Modifications to histones are thought to play a central role in regulating transcription and have been suggested to have an important role in controlling cell cycle regulated transcription.
Sir Keir Starmer visits MRC units at UCL
Sir Keir Starmer, Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the EU and MP for Holborn and St Pancras, visited University College London on June 28th to learn about research taking place in two departments funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) – the MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing at UCL (MRC LHA at UCL
Poxvirus nanoscale organization drives infection
A new study led by scientists at the MRC LMCB at UCL uses Super-resolution microscopy to show that the structure of vaccinia virus, a close relative of smallpox, is intimately linked to its ability to infect cells.
Buzz Baum and Annika Guse discuss EMBO mentoring and shared interests
As part of the career development opportunities offered by the EMBO Young Investigator network, young group leaders can choose an EMBO Member as a mentor.
