Everything microtubules, movement and microscopy. ARC Future Fellow @AIBNatUQ & @IMBatUQ (formerly @UCSF Wittmann lab alumni)
Australia
Joined April 2017
Excited to announce…. it’s finally arrived (!!) A big thank-you to my team (particularly @robertr33), co authors & #FutureFellowship funding from @arc_gov_au .Importantly- a big shoutout to @drDJVDavid @NatureCellBio for their support. 👇tweetorial 👇.
Buckle in, it is #microtubule cell migration story time! We reveal a new role for microtubules as cellular sensors which detect and respond to compressive forces, enabling movement and ensuring survival in mechanically demanding environments; just like this little guy squeezing

Interesting! Also #Microtubules control Ect2 localisation to locally regulate Rho activity …. ‘ Ect2. localized rapidly to cortical sites contacted by MT plus-tips, resulting in RhoA activation and enrichment of myosin-regulatory light chain.’
Thrilled that our newest work led by @AveryTTran, Dr. Wisniewski, and @mistrigr is out today in @NatureMaterials! We show how the cytokinesis proteins Anillin and Ect2 drive RhoA/ROCK/myosin-mediated invasion in confining spaces in vitro and in vivo.
