How do cells form distinct architectural patterns in nature?
In our latest @pnas paper, we show that the convergence of metabolic, polarity, and cytoskeletal signaling pathways orchestrates fingerprint-like microridges on epithelial cell surfaces.

Fumarate and Nitrate supplementation can delay dispersal of mycobacterial biofilms. Very interesting work discussed by @amitesh1anand who shed light on the clinical relevance of the biofilm lifecycle.

The transcription factor LHX2 suppresses astrocyte proliferation in the postnatal mammalian cerebral cortex

ALT Figure 2 - Differential proliferation of upper layer (UL) and deep layer (DL) astrocytes, panels B (left) and C (right). Left: At P5, KI67 immunostaining shows increased proliferation of Ai9+ cells in the control UL (10%±1.61) versus the control DL (3%±1.2, **P=0.0054). Right: This is further increased in the mutant UL (17%±1.52, **P=0.002) but not in the mutant DL (3%±1.07, P=0.8).

How do bidirectionally moving cargo reach their destination. RAB4 vesicles density inversely co-relates w/ synapse development. Oscillating Insulin signaling via Class3 PI3Kinase VPS34 activates Rab4 transport via KIF16B. @KrishanuRaytifr @TIFR_Bio in #M2T22025

We heard an amazing colloquium by one of my favourites @ViditaVaidya
on neurobiology of psychedelics and their behaviorial responses. Vidita's team identified the neurons that got triggered and also the circuitary for the molecule DOI!!! Thank you Vidita
