CONGRATULATIONS to Bailey Zwarycz for successfully defending her thesis entitled "Extrinsic regulation of intestinal stem cell proliferation and differentiation by niche components".

In a significant step toward personalized medicine for cystic fibrosis, a minimally-invasive technique shows promise as a fast, inexpensive indicator to help more patients access new treatments.

Mark Zylka has been recognized by the world’s largest general scientific society for his contributions to the fields of biological and medical sciences. Election as an AAAS Fellow is an honor bestowed upon AAAS members by their peers. This year 396 members have been awarded this honor by AAAS because...

An article by Dr. Damaris Lorenzo in collaboration with her postdoctoral advisor Dr. Vann Bennett at Duke University titled “Cell-autonomous adiposity through increased cell surface GLUT4 due to ankyrin-B deficiency” was published this week ahead of print in PNAS. In this study, Dr. Lorenzo shows that mice lacking the cytoskeleton-associated...

Congratulations to Erica Cloer for successfully defending her thesis entitled "Molecular mechanisms of patient-derived KEAP1 superbinder mutants".

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Brooke Matson for successfully defending her thesis entitled "Molecular Regulators of Embryo Implantation and Pregnancy". Way to go, Dr. Matson!!

Dr. Cohen has developed state-of-the-art, super-resolution spectral imaging technologies to simultaneously label and track the position of 6 different cellular organelles in real time. In doing so, she has characterized a new cell organelle called a lipid droplet. In her future work, she hopes to use these techniques to address...

Dr. Diering is a neurobiologist and biochemist focused on understanding the different mechanisms that neurons use to sleep. In one process, neurons change their synapses to accommodate the formation of memories. In another simultaneous process, synaptic plasticity supports the conservation of neuronal metabolism and “recharging”—which is critically important for cognition...

An article from the lab of Dr. Kathleen Caron titled “Adrenomedullin improves fertility and promotes pinopodes and cell junctions in the peri-implantation endometrium” is featured on the cover of the September 2017 issue of Biology of Reproduction. The cover image, “Pinopode Eclipse,” depicts pinopodes, or uterodomes, which are plasma extravasations...

Congratulations to Dr. Keith Burridge for being selected as a 2017 American Society for Cell Biology Fellow! The ASCB Fellows award recognizes ASCB members who have made outstanding contributions to the field of cell biology and to the community of cell biologists through their service to ASCB. This is an...
