I'm thrilled to finally share my PhD work on understanding how Ca2+ signals regulate the protruding front of the cell. It’s been an incredible journey working alongside all the collaborators.

A TRPV4–dependent calcium signaling axis governs lamellipodial actin architecture to promote cell migration
Cell migration is crucial for development and tissue homeostasis, while its dysregulation leads to severe pathologies. Cell migration is driven by the extension of actin–based lamellipodia protrusions...

I'm helping organize the 2026 Signaling by Adhesion Receptors GRC and would love your speaker suggestions! We're especially looking for assistant professors or new community members who would enrich the meeting. Send your suggestions via PRIVATE message or email. Thanks!

Our new paper by @theajacobs.bsky.social in @currentbiology.bsky.social shows how relaxation of tension, rather than active actomyosin-based force, allows opening of cell #vertices to increase #epithelial permeability shorturl.at/Wnb2n

Rho/Rok-dependent regulation of actomyosin contractility at tricellular junctions restricts epithelial permeability in Drosophila
Cell vertices integrate forces in epithelia and play key roles in regulating barrier
function. Jacobs et al. show that modulation of actomyosin contractility at cell vertices
controls tricellular junc...
