Dear JEDIs, Our paper published today (PMID: 23671310) describes the first animal model of genetically impaired autophagosome-lysosome fusion, and hopefully helps to clarify the controversial Cell and Nature papers published in the last few months about Syntaxin 17 shRNA cells. Gabor

Dear Jedis, We are very happy since we just published a paper in BMC Medicine. In this article we apply Network Science concepts to characterize tissue organization in human muscle biopsies. We have developed a new method that help to the diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases. This article is based in...

All you ever wanted to know about cellfitness and active cell selection.Our new paper, a review in JCB, is out Open access: http://jcb.rupress.org/content/200/6/689.full

We just published a new paper on the mechanism of tip cell specification in the tracheal system. There are two types of specialized cells at the tips of tracheal branches, and the transcriptional repressor Aop plays a key role in selecting the proper tip cell type for each tracheal branch....

New paper (review) from the lab out today. Think again: How winner cells cause the demise of loser cells. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bies.201200156/abstract

Dear fellow JEDIs, let me point you to a recent coproduction between my group and that of fellow JEDI Matias Simons. http://tinyurl.com/bkz22pt Here, we dissect the tumor phenotype of epithelia possessing increased V-ATPase activity, a condition observed in a number of cancers. Hope you enjoy and of course comments are...
