growthfactors

This week’s episode is brought to you in partnership with Droplette. 

 

What if the most effective skin treatment never touched your fingertips at all? In this week’s episode, we sit down with MIT-trained inventors, Madhavi Gavini and Rathi Srinivas, to learn the fascinating backstory behind the “Nespresso” of skincare devices, Droplette.

 

The handheld, at-home micro-infusing skincare device (picture a computer mouse!) has made the leap from medical prototype to topshelf must-have. The real jawdropper? It’s designed to deliver skincare into, not just onto, your skin, and it claims to help skincare ingredients penetrate 20x deeper than slather-on creams. 

 

What you’ll discover in this episode:

 

• How the company’s co-founders went from pediatric and Covid research to the world of skincare, starting in their kitchens

• How the NASA-backed device works, with tips on working it into your existing routine

• How the ground-breaking, micro-infusing technology could be used to help revolutionize medical therapeutics in future

• How Droplette differs from microneedling’s delivery approach, and why the device can even be used in conjunction with “micro-coring” 

• The cleanser and sunscreen brands these women in STEM trust to round out their own routines

Localizing mTORC2 activity

The mTORC2 complex regulates cell growth and proliferation by phosphorylating the protein kinase Akt, but where in the cell mTORC2 is active, and how growth factors direct its activity towards Akt, remains unclear. Ebner et al. use a novel reporter to show that endogenous mTORC2 activity localizes to plasma membrane, mitochondrial, and endosomal pools with distinct sensitivities to PI3 kinase and growth factor signaling, and that growth factors induce Akt phosphorylation by promoting Akt's recruitment to the plasma membrane. This biosights episode presents the paper by Ebner et al. from the February 6th, 2017, issue of The Journal of Cell Biology and includes an interview with two of the paper's authors, Michael Ebner and Ivan Yudushkin (Max F. Perutz Laboratories and Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria). Produced by Caitlin Sedwick and Ben Short. See the associated paper in JCB for details on the funding provided to support this original research.
