New publication in BMC Biology for Stefan Lab
Phosphoinositide lipids provide spatial landmarks during polarized cell growth and migration. Yet how phosphoinositide gradients are oriented in response to extracellular cues and environmental conditions is not well understood.
Review in Current Opinions in Cell Biology by Chris Stefan
In a new review in Current Opinions in Cell Biology, Chris Stefan highlights recent advances in our understanding of the vital roles for ER–PM (endoplasmic reticulum – plasma membrane) contacts in phosphoinositide and calcium signaling and how
Tunnacliffe and Chubb TIG Review: What is a transcriptional burst?
The idea that gene activity can be discontinuous will not surprise many biologists – many genes are restricted in when and where they can be expressed. Yet during the past 15 years, a collection of observations compiled under the umbrella term ‘transcriptional bursting’ has received considerable interest.
New publication in Developmental Cell for Baum lab
Normal cells in the human body only divide when they need to, but cancer cells keep continuously growing and dividing, even in a tumour packed full of other cells.
