Garcia-Mata Lab Halloween 🎃 fun!
Our Scientists/Artist Alex Ritter (Insta @cells_invitro) took us on his journey from imaging immune cells using high end microscopy to modelling using glass blowing technique, including some new "glow in the dark" pieces using phosphorescent material 🤯 www.toledocellulart.org #SciArt #Microscopy

I sign up receive an email from NIH announcing new opportunities: "NIH Funding Opportunities and Notices for 05-09-2025"
The last two emails had "None" under New funding opportunities :(

With the anti-vaccine movement at its peak, it's a good time to remember what was like in pre-vaccine times. For example ~90% of kids would get measles: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

New article! Here we dissect the role of SGEF, a RhoG-GEF, in regulating E-cadherin and ZO-1 expression in epithelial cells. In SGEF KD, E-cadherin reduction enhances β-catenin signaling, which upregulates Slug, forming a positive feedback loop that further decreases E-cadherin levels bit.ly/3zWYxpf

This year www.toledocellulart.org was international! Our guest speaker @VanBuul_lab came all the way from the University of Amsterdam! Jaap showed us how neutrophils traverse endothelial junctions at a level of detail we had not seen before! Amazing images!
