Love zebrafish development? We’re looking for a Senior Laboratory Research Scientist to support ongoing projects in the lab and to lead their own independent research using zebrafish to model diseases associated with deregulated TGFβ family signalling @TheCrick @ZebrafishRock

Pathogenic ACVR1R206H activation by Activin A-induced receptor clustering and autophosphorylation – @AnaRamachandran et al @Devsiglab @thecrick @AucklandUni

Follow-up of our previous work from 2018. We show that pathogenic mutation of ACVRI is enough to cause receptors clustering and auto-activation. The resulting signalling increases in duration and intensity. Well done @AnaRamachandran @MerimaMehic2 @ila_gori and all authors!
Our paper is out! 30 years after the classic works of Boyd, Laiho, Wrana, Ebner, ten Dijke, Weis-Garcia, Luo and others, and building on our 2018 paper, we show activation of TGF-β family signalling dependent on only the kinase activity of type I receptors doi.org/10.15252/embj.202010…
