Flagellar length control in Chlamydomonas is a paradigm for organelle size regulation. In poster 155 at the CellBio2025 meeting Sunday Dec 7, Ximena Garcia Arceo uses Lithium, which increases intraflagellar transport, as a tool to probe how length-altering mutants work.

Flagellar length control in Chlamydomonas is a paradigm for organelle size regulation. In poster 163 at CellBio2025 Sunday Dec 7, I present work by Hiro Ishikawa using a synthetic biology approach to test a length-sensing model based on diffusion of kinesin in flagella

Today (12/7/25) #CellBio2025, UpstateCDB posters: Michael Kimmich, FHOD-1 and profilin collaborate to promote muscle growth and protect sarcomeres from contractile damage; P0027; Dave Pruyne, FHOD3-related formins promote myofibril stability in vertebrate and invertebrate non-cardiac muscle; P0032

Today (Sunday 12/7/25) at @ascbiology.bsky.social #CellBio2025 @yosephl.bsky.social will be presenting a poster on the roles of Myo1e/f in dynamic reorganization of ctin cytoskeleton during FcγR-mediated phagocytosis (P0066/Board#070). Stop by to see cool movies and chat about myosins in phagocytes!

Are you interested in cytoskeleton and looking for a postdoc position? I will be advertising positions in the new year but happy to chat in person if you are attending ASCB @ascbiology.bsky.social in Philadelphia. Just drop me a line.

Hi, I’ve been working on an approach to use clustering to find bright areas on phagosomes. It’s been going decent, but I’d be interested to to hear if anyone else has done something similar with a bit more success. #microscopy

Our paper on podosome regulation by myosins 1e/f is now online. We introduce the concept of the podosome base, a region of plasma membrane-associated components 🔬 Cool collaboration with @renaudpoincloux.bsky.social‬ and Krendel labs www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I'm up to 75 responses. I would be very thankful if you fill this out 😀 Median time to take it is 2.6 minutes. I promise it only takes significantly longer if you would like to leave me a rant about efforts that are a waste of time. Those make me laugh, though

Hey #chemsky and beyond, with all that is going on, I am curious what expensive, high margin molecules we could provide to the community for free. What things do you use all the time, cost way too much, and would make a difference? Alexa Fluor 488 NHS? Other dyes? Other molecule?

And finally a funny trick for actin aficionados: label actin with different probes and use their differential staining properties to identify actin structures within cells: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Of these, 97 received funding from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) (with some also receiving funding from other institutes). 97/174 = 56% while NIGMS typically receives 7% of NIH budget. 3/n

Self-generated gradients guide collective cell movement -but often different cell types must move together, e.g. in immune response. We develop a theory of self-generated chemotaxis in mixed populations -are there optimal principles for this cooperation?🤔 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
