We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Gregor Bieri will join as Assistant Professor in the Departments of CTB, Anatomy, and the Bakar Aging Research Institute! The Bieri Lab will study vascular mechanisms that bridge exercise with brain homeostasis in aging and disease, opening in January 2027!

Gail was a luminary at ucsf and I was lucky to overlap with her briefly. She was one of the most supportive and encouraging faculty mentors I had.

In this Obituary, Francesca Mariani & Mark Lewandoski write about Gail R. Martin, one of developmental biology's most influential conceptual architects, a scientist who reshaped how we think about signalling, pattern formation & genetic analysis in the mouse. doi.org/10.1242/dev....

Gail R. Martin, PhD (1944–2026), a Member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and Foreign Member of the Royal Society, was a recipient of the E. G. Conklin Medal (2002) and the Pearl Meister Greengard Prize (2007). She served as Professor for nearly 50 years at the University of California, San Francisco and subsequently as Professor Emerita.

I'm thrilled to be able to share this new paper from post-doc Camilla Teng @xsciteng.bsky.social and our collaborators in the Leslie-Clarkson lab @emorygenetics.bsky.social on mechanisms of tissue fusion and cleft lip url: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Actomyosin contractility and a threshold of cadherin cell adhesion are required during tissue fusion | Journal of Cell Biology | Rockefeller University Press

Teng et al. investigate the cellular basis for tissue fusion during mammalian lip formation. They demonstrate that actomyosin contractility drives fusion,

We are thrilled that Hydronovo www.hydronovo.com has been awarded an NIH SBIR grant to develop Ceviginate, a new therapeutic for regenerating salivary gland function in debilitating xerostomia. The discoveries for this breakthrough come from the lab of Sarah Knox in CTB!

I'm thrilled to announce that my lab is opening this August in the Department of Cell & Tissue Biology @ UCSF! We will study airway stem cells and explore how they generate multiciliated cells (my favorite!) to keep pathogens and debris out of the lung. Check out choksilab.org for more!

To my friends and colleagues at UAB, IU, UF, FSU, UL, WashU, OSU, CWRU, etc, etc. Call both your senators and your representative. They listen. Emphasize the direct economic impact of NIH research, and the indirect impacts on pharmaceutical/biotech. Underscore its relevance to national security.

The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over NIH. GOP members of the committee represent AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC. Research universities and hospitals in those states need to be extra loud.
