Northwestern Basic Sciences

Congrats to Dr. David Scholten, PhD who successfully defended his thesis on CTC-DPT clusters, accepted by @jclinicalinvest. What a rewarding moment - celebrate with his family/friends, Cluster mates, and our Chair @nupharm1 @NUFeinbergMed @LurieCancer biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered a previously unknown process used by #EpithelialCells to alleviate epithelial tissue crowding and avoid #CellDamage and loss, per @NatureComms. spr.ly/60174AyEv

Congratulations to Josiah Wong in Dr. Yue’s lab @yuefeng_1 for receiving an NCIF31 titled “The role of SUV39H1 in maintaining heterochromatin architecture and identity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia”. He just joined the BMG purple jacket club! Very proud of him and his scientific…

It was great to be part of this study from @mliarispe and Yogesh Goyal lab just out in @CellSystemsCP . We describe the dynamics of growth of mouse aorta , specifically role of cell extrusion in the homeostasis. sciencedirect.com/science/articl….

Great group of undergraduate students from @NorthwesternU and throughout the United States spending the summer in our departmental labs, learning a great deal of biochemistry/molecular genetics and enjoying morning bagels together! @NUFeinbergMed @NU_BMG_SQE @ASBMB…

Excited to share this amazing work by @benkuznetsspeck from our lab using physics-inspired model to predict how cells respond to perturbations—just by reading the gene fluctuations! Happy to be part of it biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A new publication from the Brian Mitchell Lab (@BMitchell_Lab) reveals a novel mechanism epithelial cells use to alleviate tissue crowding, reducing cell damage and loss. Published in @NatureComms. tinyurl.com/ymb33dew

Do you have questions about the accelerated timeline for the NIH Public Access Policy? Join us for our virtual "office hours," held every Thursday in June. Register here: galter.northwestern.edu/course_info/264

🚨Beginning July 1, 2025🚨The National Institutes of Health has announced an accelerated implementation date for the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy. Learn more about what this means for researchers and how to prepare: galter.northwestern.edu/news/nih-accel…

Northwestern scientists have discovered molecular mechanisms that enable a type of foodborne #Bacteria, called #VibrioVulnificus to recognize host cells and initiate infection, according to @ScienceTM. spr.ly/601848J04

In a recent @NatureMicrobiol study, scientists led by Derek Walsh, PhD, reveal how poxviruses — including deadly pathogens like #smallpox — hijack host protein synthesis to multiply and spread. tinyurl.com/ya7yukw4
