Love Loren's home brew! His passion is unparalleled. He coauthored a paper in the prestigious journal Cell on domestication and divergence of yeast, a very interesting read! www.cell.com/fulltext/S00...

Thanks Ardem. Regarding smiles, Zhaozhu is already there, Bailong and I are working hard on it 😄

Excited to reunite with former benchmates at International Ion Channel Conference. Apologize for the severely jet lagged faces, but at least we remembered the golden rule of @ardemp.bskyverified.social lab regarding conferences: “No badges outside the venues”. We think Ardem will be proud.

Apologize for the image glitches. I reattached the two images here.

Excited to share our latest story in Nature. We developed a high-throughput cellular stretch system to look for genes regulating membrane rupture under tension, and found an amazing small protein called NINJ1 that weakens the membrane for rupture! H/T to Zozo, my 10-y.o. for her artist's impression😃

As a researcher working on mechanotransduction, celebration of May the 4th is obligatory.

Amazing read! Fluid is super efficient at coupling mechanical force so I bet they just need very few sensor molecules to work.

Woke up to the whirling sound of helicopters, went to the balcony to see what’s going on and was treated with amazing skyline view, the calm pearl river and ongoing Guangzhou marathon. A crisp morning like this is hard to come by.

Now that’s some serious thrust…

I had the privilege to witness this groundbreaking discovery six months after I joined the Patapoutian lab. I remember asking Bertrand "What is it?" and he replied "FAM38A". I knew it was a big deal at the time, but little did I know that this would become one of biggest discoveries in biology.
