Happy to share our new publication, where we describe axonal NMDA receptors supporting axon growth.

Thank you so much for highlighting our recently published paper! We are genuinely thrilled about this new line of research and motivated to see where it leads. It’s an exciting journey ahead. Appreciate your interest!!

“Part of the success of the Chilean #research system is (...) tied with the fact that we always establish international connections,” says @glezbillault.bsky.social, Vice-Rector of R&D at @uchile.bsky.social and EMBO Associate Member Read more: buff.ly/RUqzLzC #Chile #opportunities #funding 🧪

I am truly honored on my election as Council member of the @ascbiology.bsky.social. Looking forward to work with colleagues and move forward this beautiful discipline.

A great week on Easter Island. Here at the Rano Kai volcano where rapamycin was discovered. #aging #science

It is one week after the 7th Emerging Concepts of the Neuronal Cytoskeleton workshop in Chile. Looking forward to #neurocyto2027 in Santa Cruz, Chile

Today is a very special day for me: I just started as a permanent CNRS researcher at the Institute of Light and Matter! My research will focus on the physics of biological tissues and in particular the role of activity and anisotropy.🔬 @cnrs.bsky.social

A reminder: for genotypes to produce phenotypes, they have to go through development

A neuronal Rube Goldberg machine 🤯 Wnt from surrounding cells is internalized via clathrin-coated pits at dendritic branch points before triggering microtubule nucleation at the surface of endosomes. Great work from Melissa Rolls' lab in @plosbiology.org: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Desde la SEBBM lamentamos comunicar el fallecimiento de Joan Guinovart, acontecido esta pasada madrugada. Joan fue presidente, era socio de honor y ha sido una figura clave para nuestra sociedad, además de referente de la bioquímica tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Joan Guinovart’s passing. He was an exceptional scientist and an extraordinary individual whose contributions and presence will be profoundly missed. @irbbarcelona.org

Our assessment of a person's epigenetic ("biological") age has been centered on DNA methylation. A new report shows that a set of 7 histone markers has comparable accuracy and also uncovers new pathways of aging biology www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I am super excited to share our article addressing a longstanding question in neurobiology: how Ca²⁺ signaling cascades initiated at dendritic spines operate at a distance. Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @cp-cell.bsky.social.

Really bummed to have missed ASCB this year due to some last-minute circumstances, but excited that our manuscript describing an IF disassembly tool will (hopefully) be posted soon. Here's a movie of vimentin color-coded by orientation.

Infamous paper that popularized unproven COVID-19 treatment finally retracted Study on hydroxychloroquine by Didier Raoult and colleagues gets pulled on ethical and scientific grounds @cathleenogrady.bsky.social reports. www.science.org/content/arti...

I attended @ascbiology.bsky.social meeting almost uninterruptedly since I was PhD student back in 1999. I am missing not be there this year. Hope to come back in Philadelphia. Cell biologist and cytoskeleton researchers, enjoy!!

Excited to be at #CellBio2024! Today, I'll be presenting my work exploring how the actin binding proteins and E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate neuronal morphogenesis. I'll be at poster board 40 and giving a teaser talk at 10:45 in Room 33B. Come say hi, if you love neurons, cytoskeleton or ubiquitin!

Ever wondered about how accessible the tubulin C-terminal tails (CTTs) are within the microtubule lattice? Takashi Hotta (Puck Ohi lab) will present our work at a poster Tuesday 1:30pm (P2401, B8) and in a talk Tuesday 6:15pm (room 30C). #cellbio24 #CellBio2024 #cytoskeleton

Couldn't make @ascbiology.bsky.social annual meeting this year ☹️ - hope everyone has a blast. Check out Journal of Cell Science booth @jcellsci.bsky.social - we are the good publishers who care about the science community!

A beautifully written editorial by @holdenthorp.bsky.social explain why HIV/AIDS intervention merits 2024 breakthrough for Science

An interesting study that address a cost for life expectancy increase. We need to find “country-specific tailored interventions to maximize equitable and sustainable healthy aging”

Happy #FluorescenceFriday!

So excited to share our new @natureportfolio.bsky.social review on modeling human brain development using organoids! 🧠 Loved collaborating with the brilliant @lancasterlab.bsky.social , led by the incredible @marcellabirtele.bsky.social Check it out! 🔬 #Neuroscience #BrainOrganoids rdcu.be/d3llp

Gentle reminder that we are looking for postdoc candidates to apply for a Juan de la Cierva contract of the @ageinves.bsky.social Get in touch if you want to work on #Senescence And please, spread the word

Buenos Aires is beautiful and I keep posting about how I'm having a great time, but don't forget the tragic situation for science in Argentina at the moment. Argentinian scientists are working despite this and they deserve our full support! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Great seminar at @inp-marseille.bsky.social this morning by @pirtahotulainen.bsky.social from Helsinki, who warned us about only seeing what we're looking for in cell biology, before offering a panorama of her group's current projects. Great way to celebrate Finland's independence day! 🇫🇮

One of the alluring and theoretical strategies for extending healthspan and longevity is to rejuvenate the thymus gland, promote an intact immune system. Now there's a way to do that in aged mice. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Why are so many proteins hyper-phosphorylated during mitosis? Well, extensive phosphorylation renders individual proteins more soluble & disrupts protein-protein interactions. So global hyper-phosphorylation may 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐳𝐞 the cytoplasm - to mechanically aide the process of cell division.
