1/9 Insanely PROUD to share our new collaborative project with @Dey_Gautam & @CentrioleLab. #PlanExM We think (almost certain) #Expansion #Microscopy (#UExM) is a turning point for #Protistology and #Cell Biology. 🔗 [ https://t.co/RXzwAGUgDK]

Microbial eukaryotes are small and often resistant to standard labelling and imaging techniques, and therefore remain understudied – despite their critical ecological importance - with the exception...

The localisation of the mitotic spindle orientation protein, NuMA, is highly dynamic and sensitive to tissue stretch. Frogs are also great for live imaging 🐸 Check out our preprint: https://t.co/wPQmFUNHyN

New Preprint! How can cells polarize in the absence of a stimulus? We suggest a surprising biophysical mechanism, protein caging! We reveal how the complex mechanical interactions at the cell surface lead to symmetry breaking. https://t.co/BOwbtxlago

To migrate, divide, and change shape, cells must regulate the mechanics of their periphery. The cell surface is a complex structure that consists of a thin, contractile cortical actin network...

Each month an #egg is ovulated from the #ovary, starting the journey of reproduction. But how does ovulation occur?🥚 Our latest work in @NatureCellBio led by @LastChrisThomas and @Tabea_Marx, describes the control of #ovulation using live imaging. https://t.co/EYjwLfdAdy (1/7)
