Rebecca Mellema: Journal Club Spotlight on Layilin and Platelet Hyperactivation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Rebecca Mellema, Freelance Science Communicator, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“New Journal Club video!
This time, we’ll be visiting my own paper: “Layilin inhibits integrin activation, and its loss results in platelet hyperactivation via Rac1 in inflammatory bowel disease.”
Authors: Mellema RA, Queisser KA, Ajanel A, Albtoush N, Smith-Sanchez L, Rondina MT, Will J, Valentine JF, Petrey AC.
Due to issues with Adobe Premier (and not wanting to waste all my footage), I had to split my video into 2 parts as well as delete some content, such as brief summaries of the experiments I like to have at the video intro. I apologize for that! It’s not my intention to cut out such a crucial part! (But I also had to stop my computer from crashing)”
Proceed to the videos (part one, part two) attached to the post.
