Cytoplasmic ribosomes hitchhike on mitochondria to dendrites biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_cellbio

🎉Congratulations to Janelia Research Scientist Andy Moore (Andy Moore) on 2 honorable mentions in the 2024 #NikonSmallWorldInMotion competition for videos of a crawling tissue culture cell & a time-lapse of culture cells crawling & exploring. Nikon Small World

Standing room only for the first ACB-Physiology combined seminar series given by Dr Ebrahim from UVA. She educated us on how the cytoskeleton uses mechanical forces to regulate cell secretion to reproduction. Outstanding!

Scientists at EMBL Heidelberg and UVA have discovered a new adaptation to starvation in yeast, in which ribosomes attach to the mitochondria in an upside-down position. The findings might provide insights into how cancer cells survive under stress. embl.org/news/science-t…

Happy to share our little discovery with Simone Mattei team on how ribosomes hibernate upside down on mitochondria during cellular stress is now out Nature Communications! A collaboration between @medicineUVA, @EMBL, EMBL Imaging Centre, MEMC. Congrats to all authors! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Pleased to present our latest work, where we show that the cell-cell adhesion protein afadin coopts mechanically-regulated elements of the cadherin-catenin complex to drive cytoskeletal engagement. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest paper is out and we have just released an update of CryoVesNet code for automatic segmentation of synaptic vesicles github.com/Zuber-group/Cr…. It now includes a Pyto wrapper to easily segment tethers and connectors. A lot of credits to @AmeeeeNeuro. #TeamTomo

Scientists in the Alushin_Lab have figured out how cells build a structure that lets them migrate. Unpacking these “finger-like” protein bundles that protrude from cells may lead to novel treatments for metastasis. #RockefellerScience bit.ly/3PKErmA
