Finally published. When I think about covid, this is where my mind goes. Congrats to some tireless collaborators. mdpi.com/2073-4409/13/2…

Such a cool elegant system.

New Pub: As biologists, when we do cell culture, we try to keep the pH at 7.4, assuming it's the physiologically relevant condition. In this pub, we explore changes in extracellular pH during zebrafish embryonic development: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dv…

Today’s most transformative medicines exist because of fundamental discoveries that were made without regard to practical outcome. Their relevance to therapeutics only appeared decades later. This articles provides some compelling examples. 🔽

Great work team getting out this Exciting research showing that inhibiting GPR68 induces ferroptosis and enhances radiosensitivity in lung and pancreatic cancer cells. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our collaborators in Maryland continuing the good work on GPR68 in ali/ards 2025 is turning out to be a stellar year. Chaz Hong MD PhD 🇺🇸 faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

I'm having flashbacks to the 2013 sequester. But at the same time hopeful that lower indirects result in more actuals grants funded. But liquidity in Higher Ed is going to take a large hit and changes will have to be made to run more efficiently. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…

😮 I'm processing too many thoughts and emotions about this. My shocked face emoji should say it all.

The number of people living with a rare disease is equivalent to the third largest country in the world. 🌎 On #RareDiseaseDay, we aim to highlight their voices and raise awareness about their experiences. Download our Infographics: rarediseaseday.org/downloads/

A bold move by MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz! For me, the key is the phrase "a more unified approach to medical education supports the creation of a critical mass of talented clinician scientists to enable high-impact research, attracting funding, and increasing

Today is rare disease day. How common they are almost makes them a misnomer because there are over 7000 rare diseases

Bigger is better (For libraries in virtual screening.) But traditional methods of docking are computationally too expensive to traverse the chemical space. That is where ML comes in. nature.com/articles/s4158…

A must read for those of us supervising and training the future generations. This paper goes well beyond just classifying hard and soft skills. nature.com/articles/s4156…

This is such a great allegory for life and success. "Keep your eyes on the ball" even when there are trips and then tumbles. We all fail and fall short sometimes, what matters is how you recover and stay focused. Varsho didn't let his stumble define him in this moment

Networking and connecting with some great HFH and MSU colleagues today.

Picture perfect beginning for IZFC2025

Opening keynote speaker using LDN to perturb biomechanical features and actinomycin in developing embryos. I wonder if he knows that it came from ZEBRAFISH chemical screens.

What allows lamins A and C to confer much stronger mechanical stability to the nuclei than lamin B? We show that even though all lamins can protect the nucleus from small cell intrinsic forces, only lamin A/C protect the nucleus from large deformations: biorxiv.org/content/10.110……
