IntAct-U-ExM: Ultrastructure Expansion microscopy of actin networks via an internally-tagged actin biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Another great paper from Saravanan Palani

In interviews, we are losing out on good students due to weak soft skills like communication and general confidence. Especially students from small cities are often at a disadvantage. Need dedicated, serious and mandatory programs on soft skills as part of the course curriculum.

Excited to host the Indo-German Meeting on Cytoskeleton Biology in Health & Disease at IISc Bangalore! 🧬 🗓️ June 3–5, 2025 📍Biochemistry Lecture Hall, IISc A fantastic lineup of talks and cutting-edge science on cytoskeletal dynamics, cell division & disease and more! 🔬🇮🇳🤝🇩🇪

First Vande Bharat Train crossing the world’s highest railway bridge on the Chenab River in J&K. It took 77 years to connect Jammu and Kashmir through Railways. It took just 4 years for the Modi govt to do this post-370 abrogation.

New paper alert! We show that adaptation to the bacterial predator Myxococcus xanthus shapes how prey bacteria like E. coli evolve antibiotic resistance. Now online npj Antimicrobials and Resistance !! nature.com/articles/s4425…

Actin's role in muscle contraction is well-known. But this protein also has lesser-known roles in immune cell activation, neuron signalling & cancer cell growth. IISc scientists are using a variety of approaches to understand these processes. kernel.iisc.ac.in/build-break-an… #IIScresearch

Actin ❤️ IISc Bangalore Physics, biochemistry and cell biology of actin!! From my friends Saravanan Palani Sumantra Sarkar Sudha Kumari

Writing this article made me wonder how long Actin's To-do list would be xD! Many thanks to Sumantra Sarkar Sudha Kumari Saravanan Palani Deepak Nair for taking the time to share how awesome Actin is, and to my editor Ranjini Raghunath :)

Just saw the horrific video from Dwarka where a father, trying to escape a fire, threw his two children from the 9th floor and jumped himself. All died. The fire brigade allegedly arrived hours after the first distress call. Let this sink in: In a fire, you're on your own. The

Our latest in Communications Medicine shows how repurposing existing drugs can tackle snakebites. We demonstrate the effectiveness of small molecule inhibitors in treating bites from Russell's viper, responsible for nearly half of India's snakebite cases. tinyurl.com/244trx96

This wasn’t just an accident, it was a deliberate attempt to murder in Jammu. Thar was driven by 20-year-old Manan Anand, now on the run. His father, the vehicle’s owner, has been detained. The 65-year-old scooter rider is battling for his life. Will Jammu Police deliver justice?

Deeighted to share our on "GA-independent DELLA regulation by inositol pyrophosphate in a nonvascular land plant", published now in Nature Chemical Biology Nature Chemical Biology. Excellent efforts by Priyanshi Priyanshi, a brilliant graduate student in my lab. nature.com/articles/s4158…

🎉🍾Excited to share our #Asgardarchaea #odin #cytoskeleton study published in The EMBO Journal Dual FtsZ proteins in Odinarchaeon form distinct filaments—shedding light on tubulin/FtsZ evolution. Brilliantly led by Jayanti kumari embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

😍📢 Couldn’t be more thrilled! Our work is officially out now in EMBOJ!🎉 Check it out here 👉embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… Thanks to Saravanan Palani Akhilesh Uthaman Anubhav Dhar, and all the amazing people involved in this work.
