The @Gibson_Lab is shedding light on the past with their new @sciencemagazine publication. It provides a view into the evolutionary history of Hox genes, which help determine body plans of radially symmetric organisms like this starlet sea anemone.

In a study published in @eLife , Alejandro Rodríguez Gama, a predoc in the @HalfmannLab , uncovered thermodynamic forces that drive activation of our immune system in an “all-or-nothing” manner via assembly of large protein complexes called signalosomes.

We are sad to announce the passing of Susan Abmayr, PhD. For 16 years, we were privileged to count Susan as a valuable colleague and friend here at Stowers. Susan was a productive scientist and a great mentor and advisor. She will be sorely missed.
