Merck researcher's career launched at the same time as CDB
Alfred Reszka’s future was intertwined with the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology
in ways he never could have predicted when he came to the University of Illinois in the 1980s. Reszka was one of the first graduate students in the new department, and the connections he made in CDB laid...

The Drosophila Duox maturation factor is a key component of a positive feedback loop that sustains regeneration signaling
Regenerating tissue must initiate the signaling that drives regenerative growth, and then sustain that signaling long enough for regeneration to complete. Drosophila imaginal discs, the epithelial structures in the larva that will form the adult animal during metamorphosis, have been an important...

Study identifies two proteins necessary for epithelial cell-cell junctions
Epithelial cells build specialized cell-cell junctions to separate two different compartments. Many of these cell-cell junctions depend on the actin cytoskeleton for their assembly and maintenance. Graduate student Hui-Chia Yu-Kemp and colleagues identified CRMP-1 and EVL as novel factors necessary...
