New ppr in @Dev_Cell in which we flip skin fate from sweat gland to hair follicle to uncover the instructive sweat gland niche and the developmental signature of sweat gland identity. Congrats @dingwallaby and the team! @PennSbdrc @PennGenetics @IRM_UPenn doi.org/10.1016/j.devcel.202…

We also had Prizes! Denay Richards (Devenport Lab, @Princeton) won Best Short Talk. Best Poster Prizes were awarded to Dr. Dingwall (@kamberovlab, UPenn) and Dr. Wang (@RendlLab, @IcahnMountSinai). Congratulations!

Our "coolest" new preprint is up! Classic genetics + single transcriptomics = a novel niche and a recipe for identity of the eccrine gland...humans' indispensable thermoregulatory organ. Congrats @dingwallaby and all the team! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Mind how you sweat! Enhancer pleiotropy shapes how an adaptive trait evolved. Even made a model! Our new paper is out in PLoS Genetics! journals.plos.org/plosgeneti…

Excited to share the preprint of my latest work. Wonder how oncogenic Kras disrupts tissue architecture? We find it does so through converting pulsatile into sustained ERK activation! Thank my mentor @valentatormenta, collaborator @RegotLab and other authors!
