Don't forget to register for our Spring Meeting: Dynamic Cell VI A joint meeting with the @biochemsoc.bsky.social Super early bird registration ends 21st Jan

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!

It's an honour to become a Professor at such a wonderful institution @uclqsion.bsky.social @uclbrainscience.bsky.social. The @uclqsneuromuscular.bsky.social is an amazing place to work and I couldn't have done it without my fantastic team, mentors and collaborators: www.ucl.ac.uk/brain-scienc...

Excited to share our latest work with @simonbullock11.bsky.social! We looked at how diverse mRNAs get selected for subcellular localization and it turns out that a single protein can recognize different RNA elements using shared features that weren’t apparent before. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our latest work, in collaboration with the terrific @kashishsingh.bsky.social in the Carter lab @mrclmb.bsky.social is out. So proud of this study and everyone involved...

Great talk by @sami-c.bsky.social about the proper use and caveats of AlphaFold2/3 predictions, highly recommended to watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7vy...
