Plasmodium falciparum egress disrupts endothelial junctions and activates JAK-STAT signaling in a microvascular 3D blood-brain barrier model Nature Communications - Here the authors show that Plasmodium falciparum egress products disrupt endothelial barrier and activate JAK-STAT and interferon type response in a 3D blood-brain barrier...

We are happy to show one ourt first exciting papers. We have developed a blood-brain barrier model to study the disruptive effects caused by the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.

First, congratulations to the fearless @liviapiatti.bsky.social and @alinabatzi.bsky.social

Metabolism shapes life
EMBL Barcelona & @mpi-cbg.de researchers reveal how glycolysis drives early embryonic cell decisions.

The studies, published in Cell Stem Cell (@cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social), uncover the instructive potential of glycolysis.

Metabolic activities are selective modulators for individual segmentation clock processes - Nature Communications Metabolism has been considered an attractive candidate as a global modulator of the tempo of multiple developmental processes, including somite segmentation timing. Here they demonstrate that metaboli...

Latest from the lab!
I've been seeking the ultimate modulator that regulates the tempo of multiple developmental processes simultaneously, and metabolism has been an attractive candidate for such a global tempo modulator.
However, I was wrong. 1/

So exciting! Studying malaria infection in vitro! The human malaria parasite is specific to humans: you can't study the same parasite in animal models. The lab of @mariabernabeu.bsky.social build beautiful human blood vessels in vitro, & do the experiments there: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations Vikas and team! Nice to see you here :)
