Freddie Parekh-Glitsch will join the Chung lab! Welcome on board, Freddie!
Our work on CATSPER Epsilon is now published in Science Advances! (2026-01-28)
Congratulations on Jae and Huafeng and all others who contributed this work! Not only we show that the CatSper canopy is essential for the holo-complex assembly, but also demonstrate the molecular region that could be targeted for CatSper activity for the first time, a one more step for future therapeutics targeting CatSper!
