15-Dec-2025 - Hyunjin's notable accomplishment is cited on the
BRIC
(Biological Research Information Center) - a Korean bioscience research information portal and researcher community! Here, she gave an interview about the SIGLEC12 paper.
We are happy to announce that the first paper from the Najafov Lab has been published in
@Nature! In this study, we identified SIGLEC12 as a mediator of plasma membrane rupture (PMR) for necroptotic cell death using a genome-wide CRISPR-based systematic approach.
