This only gets worse and still no apparent response from ThemoFisher. I'll certainly NEVER buy one of their antibodies

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures" but their own internal data.

Spatial regulation of adhesion molecules is crucial for multicellular systems. Tricellular junctions (TCJs) represent the example. We found that gel-like condensation of a TCJ protein stabilizes its accumulation even in tissue dynamics, which ensures molecular recruitment and epithelial remodeling.

Looking forward to an exciting @sfb1348.bsky.social @uni-muenster.de seminar with Ina Sonnen (Hubrecht Institute) on May 21, 2026. She will speak about “Signaling dynamics in the control of embryonic development and tissue homeostasis”. Everyone's welcome! More: www.uni-muenster.de/SFB1348/en/i...

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. I feel so lucky to get to work with these weird and curious primary macrophages from 🐸. They exhibit myriad different morphologies and behaviours, including spinning endlessly and stationary, kinda like progenitor cells under compression from 🐟. Also actomyosin is strong!

Glad to see this out in its final form! www.nature.com/articles/s41... What changed since the preprint? Wonderful experiments disentangling the effect of receptor binding vs tissue porosity on Nodal diffusion, plus one of the smoothest review experiences! Thanks @natcellbio.nature.com & reviewers 🙏

I came here in 1975. I'm a Nobel Prize-winning scientist born in Germany during WWII, came here in 1975 thinking there was no way fascism could take hold in this country. I was wrong. I don't not want to be book-ended by two fascist regimes. We will stand up and set things right.

and no more spoilers! Check it out to see how we found that RhoGAP15B locally suppresses RhoA-Myosin at the front of the cluster, creating a relaxed zone that promotes protrusive activity, letting leader cells move forward while the cluster stays coordinated.

We found that multiple RhoGAP15B genetic perturbations indeed disrupt normal border cell migration
