Chirality of Vellela is so consistent on CA beaches! I have yet to find a single exception

I’ve got a Hail Mary question: Can anyone recommend some primary lit on pH differences in mammalian cells (preferably human) e.g. differences by organelle or in response to some signal? I’ve heard it discussed, but I’m struggling to find papers.

Welcome to the Fung Lab UCSF twitter account! we will be posting our work using genetics, image analysis, and modeling to answer fundamental questions about meiotic chromosomes find each other in the nucleus!

Congratulations to the new electees of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences American Academy of Arts & Sciences, who include #UCSF 's wonderful Geeta Narlikar, Neil R. Powe, Kathy Giacomini, UCSF alumni Hurley Lab and (fellow 80's punk enthusiast) Piali Sengupta!

Our latest review, 'AI in Cellular Engineering and Reprogramming' has just been published in the Biophysical Journal. We delve into the fascinating intersection of machine learning and biophysics, with a special focus on cellular engineering and reprogramming. Check it out here!

Bay Area folks, I’ll be presenting my 'Music for Microbes' exhibit (looking at how Stentor respond to music) at the Exploratorium AfterDark event on Thursday (4/25) if anyone wants to come by! exploratorium.edu/visit/calendar… C3STC

Cool!! The crazy plasmodium cytoskeleton party continues! Congrats Josie and colleagues 🙌

We kick off our 47th BSCB The Genetics Society UK Cilia Network e-symposium with #DynamicDuo Paul Choi & Hailey Park Mu He with a kickass talk on #kinesin Kif27, unexpected roles in maintaining structure of #motilecilia axonemes. Waiting for pre-print to drop... #UKCilia2024

If you like using computers and AI to enhance human creativity, I think you will enjoy this keynote talk by my amazing brother Jesse Engel!! 🤖🧑‍🎤🎶

It was a great pleasure and privilege to be able to take part in the first ever Solvay conference in biology! A wonderful three days discussing biological computation with a lot of interesting people! Huge thanks to Thomas Lecuit and the organizing committee for the invite!

If you put a cancerous (MDA-MB-231) cell on a pattern of two 'basins' connected by a narrow bridge, it hops back and forth like this: why? What is different between it and healthy MCF 10A, which does something slightly different? New preprint from Pedrom Zadeh + me answers this!

Our latest study on mechanical profiling of colorectal cancer organoids is out! We've uncovered a distinct phenotype in cancer stem cells (red 👇) caused by differences in membrane-to-cortex attachment. Led by Sefora Conti IBEC #PhysicsOfCancer rdcu.be/dE8Qn

Oh my goodness, I won!!

My lab put this up on the door to the student office. Not gonna lie, I teared up a bit when I first saw it.

Join us for an exciting day of biophysics!
