How does mTORC2 regulate #cytoskeletal dynamics?

Work from Suvrajit Saha et al. (@OWeinerLab) examines how the scaffolding subunit (Rictor) & the kinase accessory subunit (mSin1) of mTORC2 each contribute to neutrophil motility

Very happy to have been able to contribute a small part to this amazing story by the Dengke Ma lab!

It was my first time working with C. elegans AND THEY ARE SO COOL

My name is Salvador Rodriguez and I’m a #CIRMSPARKLab intern with SEP UCSF @CIRM_News. This summer was my first experience doing research in a lab. I'm excited to share what I have done this summer with my mentor Sneha Rao in the Weiner Lab UC San Francisco. (1/6)

It has been such a joy to work with SALVADOR RODRIGUEZ this summer through SEP UCSF CIRM. So proud of what he has accomplished! 🤩

Weiner Lab wishes you the best of luck at your #CIRMSPARKLab poster presentation and all your future endeavors!!

🚨 Preprint alert 🚨
Check out Jack Strickland tweetorial breaking down the main findings of his fantastic paper:

'Self-extinguishing relay waves enable homeostatic control of human neutrophil swarming'

Here's impressive new work by Henry De Belly and colleagues that in my opinion clarifies quite some fundamental questions in the membrane tension and single-cell mechanics fields. It combines interesting tools and very elegant exp design. I recommend you all to read it! Bravo

Now online! Cell protrusions and contractions generate long-range membrane tension propagation dlvr.it/SqgFJG

Couldn’t have asked for a better crew to qual with! It has been an absolute *jam* to *develop* our *potential* together… 🤦🏽‍♀️😅 (guess what we study)
