Thali lab alum Nate Roy's latest masterpiece!
Finally out! Big thanks to all of our amazing collaborators and to @J_Cell_Sci for a fast, fair review process in these unprecedented times.

Tight uropod-to-uropod contact between two isolated syncytia. Could one of them have fusion-replenished surface CD4? (~25% of syncytia have surface CD4!) ...is this a VS? from @msymeonides, also independently observed by our grad student Emily Whitaker!

Immunomagnetically-isolated HIV-induced T cell syncytia, an assay 15 months in the making and nearly ready for prime time! Isolation made possible by surface-expressed split-GFP in donors/targets and a whole-GFP-specific nanobody @ChromoTekGmbH @STEMCELLTech. by @msymeonides

Thali lab alum Nathan Roy's latest work in preprint!
New work from @Roybiolab in collaboration with the Karimi lab just out on BioRxiv. Its true - CrkL is not Crk-like. Now we know which Crk isoform to target for immunotherapy. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I’m happy to share this work on how cell fusion promote a cell differentiated state through plasma membrane remodeling and changes in bioenergetics. “Transcriptional reprogramming in fused cells is triggered by plasma-membrane diminution biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our EWI-2 preprint is now on its 4th version on @biorxivpreprint - lots of new data (and authors!) added, and currently under peer review. The new Figure 6 is a great teaser of the direction we're now headed... HIV-induced syncytia are pretty special! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Yes please!
Keep your antibodies cool and safe with a Proteintech Benchtop Cooler. ❄️ Keeps vials at 0˚C or below on lab bench. ❄️ Insulating refrigerant chills samples quickly. ❄️ Interlocking feature means they can be joined. RT and we will send one to your lab 😎 #phdchat #antibodies
