New Preprint: A non-muscle α-actinin is an intrinsic component of the cardiac Z-disc and regulates sarcomere turnover, contractility, and heart remodeling Now it is time to find a journal that will send it out for review.......... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I like to celebrate the small victories in science. For example, today I fixed the lab vacuum trap

Idea: develop a new method and use it to uncover lots of cool new biology Reality: develop a new method and use it on one well known and well characterized piece of biology

Many articles reported using an antibody ... that didn’t even bind the key protein in Laflamme’s testing. Those articles had been over 3,000 times. The key question is: ◼️ Can binders achieve high specificity for every epitope & proteoform ? Some investors assume an answer.

Should we create an academic cryptocurrency? Mining would happen through peer reviews and committee meetings, eventually convertible to the ultimate hard currency: pizza

New study from the lab! All kinds of good and bad and surprising things happen after sleeve gastrectomy bariatric surgery, but happens to the stomach itself? Does it “know” it has been sleeved? How? nature.com/articles/s4146…

My lab at Weizmann Institute was completely demolished by the Iranian missile a few days ago. This is hard and sad as nothing was left to save. We study heart regeneration and regenerative medicine. As such, we will regenerate, regrow and rebuild. The one thing that wasn't gone is
