📣 New PRBB-CRG conference 📋 Dynamics and structural changes within the microtubule lattice 🗣️ @kjverhey1.bsky.social - University of Michigan Medical School 📆 Oct 31 - ⏰ 12:00 hosted by: @surreylab.bsky.social - @crg.eu    📍 #PRBB Marie Curie room

⚡Ready to grow and be inspired as a scientist? We’re looking for a *PhD student* to join our lab at @crg.eu in Barcelona and explore how cells self-organize, uncovering life’s inner design💡 We offer strong mentoring, cutting-edge science, and a vibrant international team🌍 Check the link below!

Are you looking for a PhD? Join us in Barcelona! You'll dive into a community of >100 PhD students from 30 countries exploring the frontiers of biology. You can also join an online workshop on 6 November (15:00 CET) to learn how to find the right lab for you. More info: www.crg.eu/en/content/t...

Endinsa’t en una vivència sensorial única que connecta ciència i art immersiu. “SEEING: Un ull i una caixa” arriba del 5 al 14 de juny al Centre Cívic Convent de Sant Agustí (Carrer del Comerç 36, Barcelona). www.crg.eu/en/event/see...

🚀 Ready for inspiring talks, sunshine, and great company in Barcelona from 22–25 September 2025? Don’t miss your chance to be part of it! Sign up here: forms.creacongresos.com/DivIDE/

🚨New paper out @pnas.org! Do you want to know how do mitotic motors organize the spindle? Wei Xiang's simulations show that just a plus & a minus motor are enough to drive bipolar spindle assembly. Could this explain why kinesin-5 & dynein evolved their unique properties? 🤔 doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

We're on a roll!🚀 Check our latest research @naturecomms.bsky.social: rdcu.be/ecXzr We reveal how mosaic MTs faithfully mimic the GTP cap, highlighting lattice expansion (not pf twist) as the structural cornerstone of MT stability and dynamic instability. Congrats to Juan and everybody involved! 🎉

Also, huge congrats to Sabina @bilirubina.bsky.social for not only publishing her work in JCB but also successfully defending her PhD thesis last Friday! 🎉 We're so proud of all you've accomplished over the past few years and excited to see what amazing things you will do next, Dr. Sabina! 🥳

Fresh off the press! 🔬 Our team's new publication in the JCB sheds light on the intricate dance of spindle proteins and microtubules! 🕺💃Sabina (@bilirubina.bsky.social) demonstrates that NuMA acts as a mitotic dynein adaptor, binding and capping minus ends to focus them at mitotic spindle poles!
