Lovely analysis by @MullinsLab of a somehow underrated effect: Membrane tethering reduces molecular diffusion from 3D to 2D, which can accelerate local actin polymerization. Super important when contemplating 3D in vitro metrics in cellular context! https://t.co/QWdazEzHK6

New study out on bioRxiv! We have studied how resources are shared between actin networks competing for a limited pool of components. https://t.co/UM4o1FMWuJ

The high point of any graduate program retreat has to be the Booth-Buchwalter cocktail party. Young faculty like this give me hope for the future. @dsboothacosta @abbybuch

Hmm. Food for thought
Interesting...the virome of the last eukaryotic common ancestor is bacterial, not archaeal. https://t.co/dkZsaFFoIf This may be evidence that a bacteria engulfed an ASGARD archaea, rendering it immune from viruses, not the other way around as is typically assumed. Cool!

Visualizing moth wing scale development with @KyleDeMarr from @MullinsLab on @amsikking's AIRR snoutscope today! Using a 1.3 oil-immersion lens to image >100 um deep past the moth's cuticle. Absolutely gorgeous biology and microscopy.

Thrilled to announce the Lawrence Lab will open its doors within UCLA Biological Chemistry @BC_UCLA in January 2025! I couldn’t be more excited!
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Rosalie Lawrence @ScienceyRosalie will join our department as our newest faculty member in January 2025! Her innovative research will greatly enhance our academic community. We look forward to welcoming you to @dgsomucla @UCLA Rosalie!

Superstar inaugural Manor Lab postdoc Cara's new paper is up! Here we show ER-actin accumulates at ER-organelle contacts to regulate their fission and mobility. This applies to mitos, lysos, and endosomes, and is mediated by INF2, an ER-anchored formin. https://t.co/s8ZBpcUkDA

#newPI I'm here to talk about methane-producing archaea! @MBLScience
On my way to @MBLScience! Happy to talk about methane-producing microbes during my participation in the 2024 BID workshop! I'll be there all week!

I don't know which specific post or storm this is responding to, but as a statement of general principle, I couldn't agree more.
I missed the twitter drama. But dont take X/twitter seriously. If there's someone out there feeling proud for themselves, that's ok, maybe it's about them, not us. If they're trying to sell you soap, you don't need to buy the soap

#FluorescenceFriday #cellbiology #bioart A neutrophilic HL-60 cell exhibits both sheet- and rosette-like dynamic pseudopods as it migrates in 3D through a collagen mesh. Here, the cell center is marked in yellow, and each pseudopod is marked with an orange ball of size

Cool! Choano calcium signaling
Electrical signaling and coordinated behavior in the closest relative of animals. Our latest on using calcium imaging, to identify a novel behavior, which is synchronized in colonies. #choanoflagellates

This is super cool —the flip side of previous studies that identified polymerizing metabolic enzymes by screening collections of GFP-tagged proteins
To #TeamTomo ❄️🔬: Do you also sometimes see strange filaments in your #cryoET data and don’t know what they are? 🤔 Try #FilamentID! 🪄🤓 Check out our new paper at @CellCellPress by @HugenerJannik and @xujw_thu together with the Matos lab https://t.co/0vaE3JhgZs 🧵(1/5)
