Fresh out of @ivaskalab.bsky.social on EPLINs' roles in integrin trafficking! Go have a look! 🎉
Very happy to share Niklas Jäntti's PhD work on EPLIN /LIMA1 isoforms (α/β) in breast cancer (spoiler: both have opposing roles in integrin traffic, cell migration & clinical outcome). This might explain why EPLIN sometimes has been reported as pro- and sometimes as anti-tumorigenic: bit.ly/3Iwjtau
EPLINα controls integrin recycling from Rab21 endosomes to drive breast cancer cell migration
Epithelial protein lost in neoplasm (EPLIN), an actin-binding protein, has been described as both a tumor promoter and tumor suppressor in different c…

- A postdoc to work on cancer extravasation (4-year project).
- A postdoc help in completing Filopodia-related lab projects (2-year).
- Multiple Marie Curie postdoc positions that will open in the fall.
- We will open a 5-year position to cover my teaching (70% research and 30% teaching).

If you are at the FEBS Congress in Istanbul and would like to have a chat about adhesion-derived protein condensates come to see my poster today between 12:30-13:45. Looking forward to inspiring discussions! 🔬

What controls condensate composition and function beyond binding stoichiometry? We show that condensate microenvironments play a key role, and can be probed by a micropeptide killswitch in live cells. www.nature.com/articles/s41... in @nature.com ‬ with @yaotianzhang.bsky.social Denes Hnisz & team.

New paper from @ivaskalab.bsky.social out now! 🍾 Watch how cancer cell adhesion dynamics are disrupted by inhibiting the phosphatase Shp2 - key to integrin β1 phosphorylation. Blocking Shp2 impairs adhesion and reduces invasion potential. 🎥👇 Read more at: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Latest from @ivaskalab.bsky.social @jrwconway.bsky.social in NCB. We find that SHP-2 inhibition stops TNBC invasion and limits metastasis by blocking integrin dephosphorylation!

We are often so caught up in our destination that we sometimes forget to appreciate the journey, especially the amazing people we meet on the way. Grateful to be part of this year’s GRC 2025 where I met not only some of the brightest minds, but also some of the kindest people. Arrivederci 🇮🇹
