Tsai T, Collins S, Chan C, Hadjitheodorou A, Lam P, Lou S, et al.
Dev Cell . 2019 Apr; 49(2):189-205.e6. PMID: 31014479
Efficient chemotaxis requires rapid coordination between different parts of the cell in response to changing directional cues. Here, we investigate the mechanism of front-rear coordination in chemotactic neutrophils. We find...

Biol Open . 2018 Aug; 7(8). PMID: 30111545
Visualizing fluorescent proteins is essential for understanding cellular function. While advances in microscopy can now resolve individual molecules, determining whether the labeled molecules report native behaviors and how the measured...

Biol Open . 2018 Apr; 7(5). PMID: 29685992
Dynein is the sole processive minus-end-directed microtubule motor found in animals. It has roles in cell division, membrane trafficking, and cell migration. Together with dynactin, dynein regulates centrosomal orientation to...

Neuroscience . 2018 Jan; 373:159-168. PMID: 29337241
Anomalous neuronal accumulation of Aβ peptides was shown to affect synaptic transmission and contribute to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Neuronal cells internalize amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides from the...

Elliott A, Bedard N, Ustione A, Baird M, Davidson M, Tkaczyk T, et al.
PLoS One . 2017 Dec; 12(12):e0188789. PMID: 29211763
Fluorescent protein (FP) biosensors based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) are commonly used to study molecular processes in living cells. There are FP-FRET biosensors for many cellular molecules, but...

Macias-Contreras M, Daykin K, Simmons J, Allen J, Hooper Z, Davidson M, et al.
Org Biomol Chem . 2017 Oct; 15(43):9139-9148. PMID: 29052680
Photoinduced electron transfer (PeT)-type fluorescent molecular switches are often applied in ion-selective sensors. Zinc-targeting sensors that contain an anilino-based electron donor (aka, the PeT 'switch') have multiple advantages over those...

Nature . 2017 May; 546(7656):162-167. PMID: 28538724
The organization of the eukaryotic cell into discrete membrane-bound organelles allows for the separation of incompatible biochemical processes, but the activities of these organelles must be coordinated. For example, lipid...

Mol Biol Cell . 2017 Apr; 28(11):1467-1488. PMID: 28381423
Metastasis requires tumor cells to navigate through a stiff stroma and squeeze through confined microenvironments. Whether tumors exploit unique biophysical properties to metastasize remains unclear. Data show that invading mammary...
