PAK4 promotes vertex remodeling to maintain epithelial integrity and barrier function
Cell-cell junctions are essential for epithelial integrity and barrier function, but the mechanisms regulating their remodeling remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of the junctional kinase ...

Ever wondered how adult organs preserve epithelial barrier integrity while continuously exposed to mechanical stress? We tackled this question in our new preprint – led by our brilliant PhD student Vishnu Krishnakumar! (1/11)

Robust pan-junctional reinforcement preserves the gut epithelial barrier under mechanical stress
Epithelia are specialized tissue barriers that safeguard the organism's internal milieu from the hostile external environment, a function critically dependent on intercellular junctions. In the colon,...

Beautiful work!! 👏
Amazing study showing the importance of mechanical context for crucial biological processes.
Also great to see research on pregnancy and women health!!

I was so excited to meet everyone and share my scirnce at Cell Contact and Adhesion GRC, unfortunately I had to cancel my plans due to funding and travel uncertainties... Sad to miss this amazing conference 😞
Just 20 days to go till the Cell Contact and Adhesion GRC--we have 166 folks registered and are finalizing the program--very excited to see old friends, meet new colleagues and hear and see great science!

I’m delighted to share that I will be starting my lab @univmiami.bsky.social in Spring 2025! We will study cellular and developmental biology in non-bilaterian animals – cnidarians, ctenophores, placozoans, and sponges – to explore early animal evolution.
