Some notoriously difficult to treat infections may not be as resistant to antibiotics as has been thought, according to new research from #ILLINOIS using a microfluidic device that more closely duplicates the fluid flow found in the body than standard cultures. go.mcb.illinois.edu/flow

In this study, Bangru et al. describe a regulatory switch that controls hepatocyte polyploidization and maturation through the activation of an RNA alternative splicing program that promotes cytokinesis failure and binucleation. Learn more here: ➡️ tinyurl.com/gd352129

Dr. Haneui Bae’s interest in neuroscience was ignited in high school while reading Eric Kandel’s, In Search of Memory. Today she is a postdoc at Illinois investigating the mechanisms and implications of liver dysfunctions in myotonic dystrophy. go.mcb.illinois.edu/hbae

We are grateful to have so many inspiring, accomplished, and generous alumni. In a little over a month we will celebrate two of them: Michelle Barton and Keith Westcott. The biochemistry alumni have been selected for College of Liberal Arts & Sciences alumni awards! las.illinois.edu/news/2025-02...

From his medical training in Nigeria to his current research on myonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), ‘Fola Adesanya is working to better understand how diseases work at a molecular level and the development of new potential treatments.

He recently received a predoctoral fellowship from the American Heart Association that will support his research. Congrats, 'Fola! More on his path to Illinois and research in the Kalsotra Lab: go.mcb.illinois.edu/fola @kalsotra-lab.bsky.social

New research from the Kalsotra lab provides insight into maturation and specialization of the fetal liver and offers valuable information to the field of regenerative medicine. Their findings were published in @genesdev.bsky.social go.mcb.illinois.edu/liver Congrats, @kalsotra-lab.bsky.social!
