👋Meet your presidents is back! We'll kickstart the week w/past presidents (Mon) followed by another PI (Thurs).
Meet Jeff Miner 🥼2022 ASMB President, Prof at Washington University School of Medicine, studying #BasementMembranes and #kidney. Check out the full interview 👉🏻 youtu.be/LX6afqQ-G0k
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) should be conductive to anyone who has done microscopy in their lives, but it's not! Resolution vs coverage tradeoffs, static workflows, heavy data analysis still plague it...
IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THIS!!

We're excited to share our latest publication on immune dysfunction in refractory MG! Huge shoutout to the brilliant clinical scientist @katycdodd.bsky.social - from patient recruitment across the country to experiments and data analysis, you did it all! Can't wait to see what you do next 🌟
Happy Chinese New Year!
📣Wondering what to expect from our next annual meeting? Planning your journey? Our preliminary program is now live! Don't forget to submit your abstracts!!! #matrixbiology @dsmb-dk.bsky.social @mbsanz.bsky.social @amsocmatbio.bsky.social @themeshwork.bsky.social

Had a wonderful time as usual! Really fantastic to see so many new #ECMatrix young scientists from diverse institutions, with exciting projects 💪🏻 and superb hosting (and organisation) from @ccstorytime.bsky.social of course (should've taken more food photos)!
📢 2 very exciting PhD opportunities, please share!
We use a range of technologies+systems to study #collagen, #ECMatrix, and #fibrosis 👇
1) MRC CASE DTP - #3D #biomaterials, #immune cells alter, #drugscreens
lnkd.in/e6eMqs8M
2) Bicentenary - #macrophages, #circadian, #omics.

Become part of our new MRC Centre, working across Manchester and Oxford to solve a major challenge of our time - how does the immune system become dysregulated by environmental exposures to cause chronic disease.

Model describing how daily rhythmic O-GlcNAc proteome integrates environmental and metabolic signals to regulate transcriptomic and physiological rhythms. Environmental cues signaling through the molecular clock and metabolic cues from feeding–fasting cycles regulate daily rhythms in the O-GlcNAc proteome. Rhythmic O-GlcNAcylation can directly shape daily rhythmicity in transcriptome and physiology. In addition, rhythmic O-GlcNAcylation can also interact with rhythmic phosphorylation. Different forms of crosstalk between O-GlcNAc proteome and phosphoproteome are shown in the middle box. The red solid arrows indicate the regulations described in this study, while the dashed arrow indicates regulations discovered by previous studies. Figure created using BioRender.com.
The liver #transcriptome is highly sensitive to metabolic cues. By characterizing nuclear protein #OGlcNAcylation in mouse #liver during the day, @joanna-chiu.bsky.social &co show how shifts in a nutrient-sensitive #PTM may shape transcriptional regulation @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3KuS7m1

It's been a great conference hearing all the other research findings and lots of new ideas - food for thought for everyone! Wish I didn't have to leave earlier...
Great to meet with @tranejoan.bsky.social
Awesome talk (as expected) by @stockmannlab.bsky.social on targeting fibrogenesis, at the #SclerodermaWorkshop - first reunion since #KeystoneFobrosis2022!
Yesterday I attended the #graduation of my #firstPhD student Katie Lowles. What a moment! No longer her PI but still feeling very proud @mcf-uom.bsky.social @mcrcellmatrix.bsky.social
(Oh and I also attended my first ever #GRCCollagen...it was awesome even though I had to leave early!)
Our final online seminar of the season is just around the corner!!! Save the date: June 25, 3pm CET. Register for FREE now and join us next week to discuss all things Hyaluronan in Medicine with Dr Laura Alaniz!!! Follow the QR code or click here: forms.gle/iSjnrLBVZmkD... @amsocmatbio.bsky.social
📢 IMPORTANT DATE ALLERT!
Excited for the ASMB 2025 Biennial Meeting in Baltimore, Nov 16–19! Early Bird Registrations and Abstract submission deadline approaching—Don't forget to sign up first, then submit your abstract. See you there!

Looking forwards to talking about #collagen and #circadian (or otherwise!) tomorrow!
Not sure I'm the expert, but definitely we're all about the #ECMatrix with a dabble of #CircadianRhythms 😆
Are you into cryo-ET, in-cell discovery, protein translocation and folding or just cool integration of structural biology, proteomics and bioinformatics? Then see our new work:

Thank you to all coauthors for your amazing work!
Sad that there's no polls option on Bluesky!
I think mine would be Dramedy...
It's starting! #BSMB2025 with a very international delegate pool #ECMatrix #ScienceNoBoundaries
