Great review on mechanosensivity of TRP channels. Conclusion: if any TRP channels are primary mechanotransducers, most robust evidence for NOMPC and TRPV4, they are activated under specific mechanical conditions and may require auxiliary components. cell.com/trends/biochem…

New paper on how the plasma membrane #phospholipid PIP2 modulates the activity of the TRPC3 #ionchannel nature.com/articles/s4146…

That last minute goal by Hungary in the 10th minutes of overtime....priceless

Beautiful and characteristically meticulous study from Tamas Balla & colleagues NIH in The EMBO Journal exploring unexpected localizations and functions for phosphatidylserine lipids in the nucleus! #lipidtime doi.org/10.1038/s44318…

Our paper on regulation of Piezo2 #ionchannels by phosphatidic acid is published in Nature Communications. Congratulations to first author Matthew Gabrielle who did an amazing job !!!! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Dr. Tibor Rohacs, Professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and BHI member published a new paper in Nature Communications showing that Phosphatidic acid as a regulator of the sense of touch can lead to new treatments for better #pain relief. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Medicine is extraordinary—merging the science of the human body with the profound reward of helping others. The first time you put on the white coat marks the beginning of a lifelong journey of care, compassion, and healing. I couldn’t be prouder to see my daughter embrace this

Wow, more PIP2 dependent #ionchannels are still being discovered! New members of the club are proton-activated chloride channels, nice work from Byung-Chang Suh’s lab: nature.com/articles/s4146…

“Identifying a natural molecule that specifically reduces #pain sensitivity offers hope for new therapeutic strategies in the management of pain,” said Tibor Rohacs, professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Rutgers Brain Health Institute member.

Annual lab party with kayaking at the Delaware Raritan Canal.

Great perspective on mentoring. Especially liked the part on the ‘‘temperature’’ of a mentor’s style, and how it can change over the course of mentorship, and according to the current needs of the mentee cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
