New trick for an old hat: Extranuclear Cyclin D1


Research that blows our mind.

In one of the most highly cited papers from July 2014, researchers from the departments of Cancer Biology and the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia describe a new function in a new location with a novel interaction for the cell cycle protein cyclin D1.  

Such a discovery can shake your world just a little bit.  It’s like seeing your supervisor, the highly intelligent yet quiet and reserved enigma of a man, at your favourite coffee shop.  Wait, my boss leaves his office?  And he works here too, just like me?  Your mind is blown and getting coffee there is never the same.

And so it is with cyclin D1.
