On June 19th, we, members of the Bagnat lab, celebrate Juneteenth, the day when enslaved people in Texas learned of the Emancipation Proclamation that had been issued by President Lincoln more than two years earlier. We recognize Juneteenth’s message of liberation from oppression and we as a lab take a moment to remember a sobering moment in our history.

Our study on lysosome rich enterocytes published in Dev Cell (Oct 2019) was presented and featured in JRNLclub.

JRNLclub is an online platform where interesting research publications are presented by the researcher themselves (as a form of 10-15 mins presentation) to make scientific research and discussion more accessible.
