@babliadhikary.bsky.social, Higashi et al. show that PAK4 drives dynamic vertex remodeling in cells and embryos through spatiotemporal regulation of #myosin II. Inhibition of PAK4 disrupts tissue packing and compromises junctional continuity and barrier function. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

A wonderful collaboration between Tomo Higashi and Ann Miller's labs about how the kinase PAK4 regulates cell junction remodeling to allow cell rearrrangment 🧪

Traumatic heterotopic ossification (HO) is an abnormal bone formation after injury. A study explores how necroptotic macrophages and p21-activated kinase 4 (Pak4) influence this process, revealing potential therapeutic targets.👍

Thrilled to share my first publication from my PhD is now out in Journal of Cell Biology!!!! 😇 💖 Have you ever wondered how multicellular vertices are maintained and remodeled in an epithelia? 💭 Here, we investigate the role of junctional kinase PAK4 in vertex maintenance and remodeling!

Really lovely work. The complementary stories in the @jcb.org from the Higashi + Miller labs and the Yu lab come together to create an even clearer and more interesting story

This has been an amazing collaborative project. Huge shout out to Tomohito Higashi (Fukushima University) for brining our attention to PAK4 and collaborating with us.
Thanks to all the authors including my Undergrad Alex Chang, who made valuable contribution to the project.
