Delighted to share our recent work identifying the role of a membrane cytoskeleton, spectrin, in stem cell lineage commitment. Greatful to be a part of this team!
Pleased to share our new paper in Science Advances in collab w Schaffer Lab & colleagues from @kaistpr! Spectrin mediates 3D-specific matrix stress-relaxation response in neural stem cell lineage commitment https://t.co/jflYRkvvZB

New pub in @PNASNews! We create stress-relaxing PA gels using mismatched oligonuclieotide x-links. More mismatches -> lower x-link affinity -> greater SR, w strong effects on neural stem cell fate. Led by PhD alum Eric Qiao in collab w Dave Schaffer's lab https://t.co/2qIc1tKFav

Thank you everyone! Will miss you all a lot.
Last week the lab bid farewell to @jieungbaek, who joined us as a visiting PhD student from @kaistpr back in 2016 and returned for a postdoc in 2019. In March she starts her faculty position at @EwhaWomansUniv in Seoul. Thank you and very best wishes Jieung!!

Thrilled to be a part of a new @BioMaterSci paper, led by postdoc @jieungbaek under guidance of her PhD advisor Sung Gap Im @kaistpr. Incorporating cadherin ligands into 3D hydrogels modulates NSC mechanosensitive lineage commitment.

During differentiation, neural stem cells (NSCs) encounter diverse cues from their niche, including not only biophysical cues from the extracellular matrix (ECM) but also cell–cell communication....

Thanks @GerechtLab for taking the time to read and discuss our work! Study expertly led by Dr. Jieung Baek @jieungbaek, more to come...
Journal club last week was from @ScienceAdvances about mechanoresponsive lineage commitment of stem cells in 3D matrices, coming out of the @kumarlabucb and the Schaffer lab at UC Berkeley. We enjoyed reading and discussing this work! https://t.co/zYWfjCV6Xp

Thanks for highlighting our work!
💡 Led by Dr. @JieungBaek, researchers in the @KumarLabUCB and Schaffer Lab at @BerkeleyBioE identified Egr1 as a 3D #matrix–specific mediator of mechanosensitive stem cell lineage commitment. @ScienceAdvances | 🔗 https://t.co/uI1TbPZjy4
