New lab member
Karen Leal Fisher joined the Cell Adhesion Lab as PhD student! She will be part of the skin project. Welcome Karen!
Poster presentation award
Marie has just received the poster award at the 115. Annual Meeting of the german Anatomical Society for her poster “Combining AFM-based functional imaging with fluorescence reporters to outline adhesion-dependent signaling”. Congratulations Marie and thank you for presenting your work in such concise and convincing way!
New manuscript on BioRxiv
A new manuscript from our collaborator Ines Liebscher and us is out on BioRxiv: “Mimicking extracellular matrix-mediated mechano-activation by antibodies to control signaling of the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor GPR126/ADGRG6” click Jakob, a visiting student from the Liebscher lab, has set up a technique together with Camilla to modulate adhesion-GPCR signaling by AFM force spectroscopyContinue reading “New manuscript on BioRxiv”
New lab members
Pauline Hanns and Lea Galvagno just joined our lab as technician and general support, respectively. They will work together with Camilla in her project on the role of desmosomal adhesion in the heart. Welcome!!
New Biorxiv manuscript
Camilla’s preprint is out! “Defective Desmosomal Adhesion Causes Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy by involving an Integrin-αVβ6/TGF-β Signaling Cascade” clickTogether with our colleagues form Cardiology, Bioinformatics and Legal medicine we generated and characterized a novel mouse model of Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) based on defective desmosomal adhesion. We used this model to identify a novel pathway for fibrosis generationContinue reading “New Biorxiv manuscript”
