Third preprint from the lab in as many weeks... this time, the loss of transcriptional control of early pregnancy by E2F5 results in alveolar defects. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Mammary Alveolar Proliferation and Differentiation During Early Pregnancy is Regulated by E2F5
The E2F transcription factors are well-established cell cycle regulators, but their roles in coordinating proliferation and differentiation remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the function...

So it got cold and clear with good seeing conditions for a few hours last night. The light of the full moon meant I had to shoot with a narrowband filter, and just a quick process shows that 4 hours on the horsehead is coming along nicely. The bright star is the bottom one on Orion’s Belt.

Unraveling the role of receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPRH in cell signaling regulation and biological processes of non-small cell lung cancer
The delicate balance of protein phosphorylation is often disrupted in cancers, with hyperactivity of kinases and inactivation of phosphatases driving cell proliferation and survival pathways. PTPRH, a...

Publication will wait until the Oudin lab @madeleineoudin.bsky.social publishes theirs... invited them to talk at GRC Mammary and realized they'd scooped us! Their preprint is much more complete, already online and referenced in ours.

Neuronal innervation of breast cancer promotes metastatic dissemination

Yes I’m listening to the ass Dean talking now… but I’m also processing my capture of the Triangulum Galaxy M33. #astrophotography

It was a great pleasure to learn about a recent discovery in ecDNA biology that answers the most critical question on ecDNA maintenance! @nature.com Are you a non-scientist? No worries! My team wrote a lay-audience-friendly summary about this exciting research finding! Check it out! rdcu.be/eQMvM

Physiology experiments on my bike for fun… white is power, red is heart rate. Wonder if there is a wearable constant blood pressure monitor to integrate as well?

It was my privilege today to host Peter Siegel from McGill to talk about his work on bone metastasis. Unpublished so won’t spoil it, but exciting work!

The best part of useless university admin meetings is sitting at the back and processing telescope data from a few nights ago. Quick processing of 6.5 hours of Heart Nebula data… need to nod sagely to make the ass Dean feel important, but happy to see what my redcat51 did here.

At first I thought my camera had a glitch, but after reviewing individual frames, it seems like there was a whole train of satellites that messed up my Comet Lemmon shot! #astrophotography #A6Lemmon

Knew it would be coming, but the cancellation of study section is rough. Less than 24 hours notice that we're cancelled. Hard as a reviewer when you prepped for the grants and hard knowing we have two submissions of our own that were scheduled for review that are now just waiting.

In this tough grant climate, I'm incredibly proud that we've now got 4 students in the lab supported by various fellowships! Very grateful to @michiganstateu.bsky.social and the Jenison Fund for picking up the students that had fellowships terminated .

Live view on the telescope while sitting on the couch… still amazes me how many advances in the past few years for backyard telescopes! M31 with a 5 min exposure.
