💣Rab25-endosomes influence formation of actin protrusions helping cancer migration 🧲Using magnetogenetics, the position of endosomes in living cells can be manipulated, leading to the triggering of filopodia formation 💉The role of intracellular transport in cancer spread may lead to a new therapy

🦜Interferon regulatory factors are key to antiviral immunity, yet their role in birds was only recently described. 👾Comparing immune signaling in mammals and birds is crucial for developing better antivirals and vaccines, as birds represent a natural reservoir of various pathogens.

In @jcb.org, Basello, Staněk et al. @imgprague.bsky.social‬ show that coilin oligomerization and its interactions with RNA and snRNPs are essential for Cajal body integrity and propose a mathematical model describing Cajal body dynamics. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Here are my 5 (not so standard) rules for communicating science to general public: 1) People are not stupid. They just don't have the knowledge. Yes, people can be clever and yet still be uninformed about cell biology. People also can know everything about cell biology and be completely dumb.
