Did you know that human and porcine #oocytes cluster their chromosomes before they assemble a spindle? Our latest study in Nature Cell Biology reveals the mechanism and function of this unusual stage of #meiosis. nature.com/articles/s4155… (1/8)

Today in #JournalClub: microtubule nucleation from the kinetochore by LIC1-pericentrin. cell.com/current-biolog…

Congrats to Marina Gattiglio and everybody involved in this beautiful story!

CryoET shows cofilactin filaments inside the microtubule lumen biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_cellbio

👇 Great to see this out, including some last few bits and pieces of my PhD work - the network of interactions at the KT corona keeps getting more and more complex!

Excited to share our latest work on bioRxiv! We visualised single molecules of dynein and its cofactors live in the axon. Work by Alex Fellows in collaboration with the Wellcome Sanger Institute (Andrew Basset, Michaela Bruntraeger and Thomas Burgold) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨 Registration is open for NeuroBioUK 2023 (15th Sept) 🚨 If you are interested in neuronal and glial cell biology then this is the conference for you! And York is an amazing place to visit. Deadline for talk abstracts 18th August. sites.google.com/sheffield.ac.u…

Happy to share our work on the structure of the human outer kinetochore KMN network complex Many thanks to David Barford, Dom Bellini, Jing Yang and Ziguo Zhang for working with me on this project. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We're excited to share our latest study on how the lysosomal adaptor JIP3 and regulatory protein LIS1 activate dynein-dynactin. Out now on bioRxiv! Work done by Kashish Singh Clinton Lau Giulia Manigrasso in collaboration with Reto Gassmann lab. (1/6) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Still time to register if you want to present a poster or join us in York! Deadline is 6th SEPT ⏰!! Hopefully see you all there.

A recently published Research Article from Marina Gattiglio and colleagues reveals how mesodermal cell types are determined during gastrulation through the signaling systems BMP and FGF🧫🔬 Read the full #OpenAccess 🔓 Research Article here: journals.biologists.com/bio/article/12…

Delighted to share our cryo-ET preprint on the retinal ciliary rootlet ultrastructure! Out now on bioRxiv. Work done by Chris. bit.ly/3Z4Zcgq #CryoET #Cilia #teamtomo #Rootlet #Research #rootlet

Very happy to see our study on cofilactin filaments inside the microtubule lumen now published in EMBO Reports: embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

Delighted to finally share the last piece of work I did in my PhD lab on the yeast fatty acid synthase. It was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to resolve the different states of this complex during its synthesis cycle (1/5). doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…

RZZ-#Spindly complex & #CENPE (kinesin-7) are intimately connected & reciprocally required for their own #kinetochore recruitment, dynein/dynactin localization & expansion of the kinetochore fibrous corona Verena Cmentowski et al Musacchio Lab @AndreaMusacchi1 embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

Happy to see this now published! Huge thanks to @AndreaMusacchi1 for the invaluable support. Special thanks to Giuseppe Ciossani and Ennio d'Amico for their amazing contributions. embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

If you are interested in joining my group to study how microtubule motors select their cargos (or vice versa) then please see the two adverts below. One is based on neuronal cell biology, the other on reconstitution and cryoEM. nature.com/naturecareers/… nature.com/naturecareers/…

Excited to share NuMA preprint #2/2! We report structural and functional insights into how NuMA activates and regulates dynein at cell division. Congrats to Merve Aslan Ahmet Yildiz, Ennio d'Amico Carter Lab and Nathan Cho from our lab. And others inc. Maddie Blaauw from our lab.
