Contact sites between organelles are critical for cell physiology. Interestingly during cell division the contacts between the ER and mitochondria expand with implications on cellular energetics. cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Inflammation is a common feature of many diseases. Murali Prakriya, PhD, discusses the evolution of this groundbreaking research in ion channels and his latest findings, which were published in Nature Communications, in this episode of our #BreakthroughsPodcast. spr.ly/6018kJdyC

Congrats to L. Fernando Santana 🇵🇷 for being named Distinguished Professor at UC-Davis, apparently the first Latino to receive this honor. Well deserved Fernando!

Excited to announce the next #ECSwebinar on June 5th - 5 PM CET!🌟 We are looking forward to the talk of David Yule on modulation of IP3R regulation by Ca2+. Find meeting link and updates on upcoming webinars here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… David Yule

Check out our new collaboration with Rose Dixon from UC Davis Physiology in pnas (pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…). We observed two modalities of beat-to-beat ATP fluctuations in ventricular myocytes based on SR-mitochondrial coupling strength. (1/2)

This is going to be a great meeting for vascular folks. Don’t suffer FOMO and register today!

I hope labs in Africa will take advantage of this fantastic opportunity! 🔬🌍

Check out our new offering. Great collaboration with Serysheva lab. serysheva_lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations on a fantastic lecture Martha!

Check out our new study in collaboration with the Chrzanowska lab showing that Rap1A regulates CRAC channels in endothelial cells as a mean to control NFAT activation and vascular inflammation! ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.116…

Paper alert!!! I am excited to share our recent work showing that phosphorylation of a single amino acid on the vascular Cav1.2 channel controls vascular reactivity & blood pressure in #hypertension. UC Davis, UC Davis Health, MCIP at UC Davis, UC Davis Pharmacology ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

We're excited to share that American Physiological Society named Manuel F. Navedo the 2025 recipient of the Robert M. Berne Distinguished Lectureship! This award is presented annually by the society’s Cardiovascular Section to an established leader in cardiovascular research. ucdavis.health/3BEi7qJ

Great piece Manuel! Thank you!

Don’t miss this week’s new issue of #ScienceSignaling! New research shows how the loss of a calcium-sensing protein can exacerbate colorectal cancer growth, a preclinical study identifies dendritic scaffolds that shape the plasticity of synapses, and more. scim.ag/3FStmP1

Loss of the calcium sensor #STIM2, but not of STIM1, worsens #ColorectalCancer growth and metastasis by boosting calcium ion content in the endoplasmic reticulum, remodeling mitochondria, and rewiring transcriptional activity. Trebak Lab Trayambak Pathak scim.ag/44v3O3E
