@bscb-official.bsky.social Beautiful Cryo-ET talk by Kashish Singh on cytoplasmic lattices in mammalian embryos from @mrclmb.ac.uk at the #DynamicCellVI conference

Little nudge that early Bird discounts still on for this so if you're planning on coming, would recommend applying asap!

The last time I attended #FOM, I was presenting my PhD work on human tonsils - this time round, I'll be presenting fun quest in the postdoc journey where we (w/ @jamesdmanton.bsky.social and the LMBs mechanical workshop) designed and validated a novel 4-way image splitter! #FOM2026 Mon 30th @ 4:30

Excited to share our work on the structure and function of cytoplasmic lattices within mouse embryos. A collaborative effort with @niakanlab.bsky.social and work led by @kashishsingh.bsky.social and @inaharasimov.bsky.social . It is now out on BioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our article on how GSK3b controls microtubule bundling in axons is live 🎉 Here's our #notthecover attempt www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

"Your article has been published" 🎉 We found there's a sweet spot of GSK-3β activity required to keep axonal microtubules bundled in 🪰🐀. Too much/little affect how Tau and Shot associate with microtubules leading to microtubules that loose bundling and resemble a bowl of cooked spaghetti 🍝

Slowly sketching out the postdoc → PI journey, while still knee-deep in current projects. Would love to hear from neuroscience environments that value ideas, collaboration, and good mentoring. Priority is staying in the UK, but open to opportunities abroad. Tips from those who’ve been there welcome!

We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji. It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:

The latest from our group (@lapassmore.bsky.social)! Congrats to James and the rest of the authors! Phosphorylation-dependent tuning of mRNA deadenylation rates www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Get out your calendars! The motors are out of quarantine and we plan to assemble in person on 8th May 2026 at University of Warwick Campus for a fun day on motors and the filaments they walk along. Livestream is planned too. More details on registration, travel bursaries etc. will be revealed soon.

Excited to share a new chapter of my scientific journey in Chris Russo's group — developing a way to freeze proteins faster than they diffuse, paving the way for cryo-EM without air–water interface damage.

Great review of the super #NeuroBioUK2025 meeting in September. Well done to everyone who organised it @exdrososcientia.bsky.social @alexfellows1.bsky.social and @dozenoaks.bsky.social for putting together such a great meeting for the community! 👏🧠🔬 tinyurl.com/4jn7yrmt roll on next year!

Happy to share the inaugural paper from the lab. We describe a molecular mechanism for the activation of outer dynein arm motors that power the vital motion of cilia. Open access link below: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Here's a cool animated summary

Wonderful to see our paper on the #organelle signatures of #neurons and #astrocytes out in final form - congratulations, Shannon Rhoads and team!🎉 t.co/BPxKlbU6Ou

Poster boards are ready and waiting for #NeuroBioUK - let’s get this science party started 🥳

In York for #NeuroBioUk25! As you can tell from my face..I'm excited!
