Feb. 3 journal club

For our upcoming meeting on Feb. 3, Erin from the Zirkin lab will be presenting a tale on Leydig cells. The paper is:

Tang et al., Notch signaling maintains Leydig cell progenitor cells in the mouse testis

... which is recent work from Blanche Capel's lab on Notch signaling and fetal Leydig cells. Erin works on Leydig stem cells in the adult (with a bonus focus on how these are affected by aging), and she'll use this paper to highlight some differences -- or at least to remind us that the assumption cannot be made that fetal and adult Leydig cells are the exact same beasts!

See you Tuesday at 12:30 in E2133 (remember that we are in a different room from where we usually meet for the next three meetings).

Enjoy Inauguration Day (Jan. 20 presentation moved)

So that you can tune in to watch or listen to the events of the presidential inauguration on Jan. 20, we will move that day's journal club.

Bill Wright will be doing his journal club presentation on May 12.
