Excited to share our latest work linking Cdc42 waves to mitotic cell size sensing and spindle length. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Amazing microscopy from Bewersdorf/Rothman groups shows golgins in a striking four-layered structure at the Golgi rim. Biochemical reconstitution shows long filaments. Does a Golgi stack form due to golgin filament properties rather than dedicated stacking proteins? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Incredible 4Pi and pan-expansion imaging of the Golgi 👇

advocating for funding support from your institution would be great. we have a number of supporters but the broader the base the greater the stability

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

Some good news: applications are open for the Weill Institute Emerging Scholars Symposium @ Cornell! Senior PhD students and, now, postdocs interested in networking & presenting their work in cell & molecular biology at Cornell should apply by Apr 14. Please repost! wicmb.cornell.edu/emerging-sch...

I have not seen a crisis of this magnitude since yesterday

An alarming trend for UK undergrad science courses. Not only in itself, but because it reduces the pool of second-level science teachers with the confidence and skills to teach it.

Check out the stunning movie by @xianglejerry.bsky.social from @wumin-lab.bsky.social, the winner of the 2024 ASCB Video Contest! Traveling waves of FBP17-EGFP at the cortex of immune mast cells #ASCB2024 @ascbiology.bsky.social

while researching on the history of calcium oscillation, I really enjoyed reading this book from a 1995 Ciba Foundation Symposium (organized by M. J. Berridge). Each chapter is followed by a heated discussion, almost in the format of twitter, but in the 90s. 1/n

I will be representing @wumin-lab.bsky.social group to present our recent work at ASCB, on Monday Dec 16th, 11:15 AM! Board Number B19, P1714. Come have a chat! I'd probably also be dropping teasers on where our follow-up study is heading 😎

Look at these distinct clusters exhibited by N-WASP and Arp2/3 ! Is branched #actin polymerization the sole driving force for nucleating cortical actin waves? Cross-talks within the actin network can be messy, so how can we study such complexities? #CellBio2024 @ascbiology.bsky.social

Please visit our formal postgrad Jerry Chua's poster if you will be at ASCB. #CellBio2024 When Jerry started to work on actin, my view was, what can you possibly learn about actin that is new 🤭. I am glad that he ignored me and followed his heart ~ @xianglejerry.bsky.social
