Happy that I was one of the Baskin lab members! GO BASKIN LAB!🎊
Came in to this lovely surprise today — the lab is 10 years young this summer! 🍾 I’m so grateful to all trainees past and present for getting us to where we are and taking us to a bright and exciting future of #lipidtime #chembio discoveries!

Axin is well known to inhibit Wnt signaling by promoting β-catenin degradation. However, we and others have found that Axin in Nematostella and three other non-bilaterian taxa lacks the β-catenin binding domain. But, Axin still functions as an inhibitor in Nematostella. How?

Using AlphaFold, we discovered a potential β-catenin binding motif hidden within the Axin RGS domain. We hope our work will shed new light on the evolution of Wnt signaling.

Congrats, Reika!🎊
Excited to share this (my first single-authored) #lipidtime minireview!🎉 I’ve synthesized all the insights from >5 years of experiments (including some unpublished work) to explore the dynamic regulatory network of phosphatidic acid (PA) metabolism ✅🔗👇 doi.org/10.1042/BST20231511

I am grateful to be one of the Baskin Lab members. It’s been great time for the past three years at lab @weillinstitute Special thanks to my advisor, great leader @basktastic heading to Baton Rouge now
The wave of departures continues — today we say goodbye & good luck to postdoctoral scholar @Hongyan_S, a superb biologist who has revealed mysteries of how kramer (the gene, not the TV character) controls stem cell proliferation. Best of luck @LSU! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
