NEW AT CYTOSKELETON @cytoskeljournal. NO EDITORIAL (Desk) REJECTIONS if your paper is within the journal’s scope. IT WILL GO OUT FOR REVIEW! We want your papers. #FREE to publish. #CYTOSKELETON is your home for ALL cytoskeletal research. #microscopymonday onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/1…

Happy Valentine’s Day to my white whale, my labor of (mostly) love, and the bulk of my thesis 💕 online now and newly improved thanks to great feedback from reviewers! rupress.org/jcb/article/22…

Quintanilla (Melissa Quintanilla), Oakes (Patrick Oakes), Beach (Jordan Beach) and colleagues Loyola University Chicago demonstrate subcellular biophysical mechanisms that enable myosin 2 filament assembly. hubs.ly/Q02l3klJ0 Matthew Akamatsu @Coronin @taraskalab #Biophysics #Cytoskeleton

A dream of our lab has been to image the full central dogma from a single endogenous gene, all live and with single molecule resolution. After many years we are happy to unveil a beautiful cell line that makes it possible. Check out our preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…)! (1/n)

This is a great opportunity to join an editorial board at an early career stage. Send in your CVs!

Spotlight: Gurley and Peifer Mark Peifer UNC Lineberger highlight work from Quintanilla et al. (hubs.la/Q02mHCjr0) that reveals how the local biophysical environment regulates assembly of #myosin filaments. hubs.la/Q02mHJNy0 Melissa Quintanilla Patrick Oakes Jordan Beach

Scientific research has been the engine of American economic growth for over half a century. From lifesaving medicines to the device you are reading this on. With these bills, congress takes one more step towards ceding that leadership abroad. science.org/content/articl…

Chicago Cytoskeleton meeting is Friday April 19 at 3 pm featuring the keynote talk by Dan Fletcher (UC Berkeley). See you there! Please RT.

We are excited to launch our new JCS-FocalPlane Microscopy Training Grants. Early-career researchers in cell biology can apply for grants of up to £1,000 to support their attendance at microscopy courses. focalplane.biologists.com/2024/05/01/jcs…

The search is on.... We are recruiting at the assistant professor level! Come join us!!! Assistant Professor job with Loyola University of Chicago - Cell and Molecular Physiology Department | 12818067 (nature.com)

The first Microtutor interactive virtual imaging course is now live on the Global BioImaging training platform! Learn fundamental principles that are critical to rigorous fluorescence microscopy experiment design. Free & open to all! Funded by CZI Science. microtutor.globalbioimaging.org

Ever wonder about the mechanics of immune cell #migration? Caillier Alexia, Patrick Oakes Loyola University Chicago and colleagues find T cells form integrin mediated focal adhesions to pull themselves through confined spaces. hubs.la/Q02Cjd1r0 #Immunology #Adhesion

Wickstrom-Lab & myself are happy to announce the program for the upcoming Fibronectin, Integrin & Related Molecules Gordon Research Conference. This is one of the oldest GRC conferences around (since 1982) & we put together an OUTSTANDING program for y'all. Registration is open.

Always an honor to be chosen for a cover 🤩. Check out the great work by postdoc Caillier Alexia below!

I'm spending more time on the other social network these days, but it's still worth posting that we'll be at #cellbio24 #ASCB! If you like LIM proteins or septins come check out our posters:

📢 Mar 17: CPS Special Seminar! Join us for the in-person presentation by Dr. Patrick Oakes, hosted by Dr. Guy Tanentzapf: "Strain Signaling: “How LIM domain proteins coordinate mechanotransductionat adhesions”" 📷 Mar 17, 1pm in LSC 3 & Zoom
