The UC Davis Egghead blog has a very accessible story on our work.

Delighted to announce the publication of our manuscript today in @natcomms.nature.com showing how desmosomes sense and respond to mechanical cytoskeletal forces. Led by the truly amazing Belle Dong with many thanks to our collaborators in the Choy & Kwiatkowski labs. rdcu.be/eKpbL

UC Davis Egghead has a nice story on our latest research.

Delighted to announce our new publication in Nature Communications on outside-in engineering of cadherin endocytosis using a conformation strengthening antibody @naturecomms.bsky.social. Exceptional effort by co-first authors Bin Xie and Shipeng Xu. Funded by #NIH, #NIGMS. rdcu.be/d7XKP

Announcing the publication of our paper in Structure describing the molecular mechanism by which antibodies strengthen the binding of E-cadherin cell-cell adhesion proteins. Fabulous work by Bin Xie and Shipeng Xu. Strong collaboration with Barry Gumbiner's lab. doi.org/10.1016/j.st...

This is a devastating loss to the field. Bill’s work in cell adhesion was an inspiration to so many labs. And Bill was a most generous and kind colleague. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Delighted to announce publication of our light-activated proximity labeling technology for mapping protein–protein interactions at the cell membrane. Special thanks to co-first authors Omer Shafraz and Carolyn Davis

Hi everyone I am professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, Davis. My group studies the biophysics of cell-cell adhesion. We also develop new technologies to map adhesive protein interactions in cells. 🔬 #HiSciSky
