Take a look at our new paper on the structure of the EHD2 that, upon oligomerization, forms rings that remodel the plasma membrane and form caveolae. Beautiful work by Elena, Vasya @vasiliimikirtumov.bsky.social, Jeff & Oliver Dumke's team; take a look: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Julia Schulze-Hentrich was on the Today programme on the BBC this morning.. I am privileged to hear about her research in person at #FENS2026 "The other half - sex differences in Neuroscience" has been an excellent session, well done Kerstin Lenk, @murphyroyallab.org, Barbara Di Benedetto #glia

Cool paper in @jcb.org by Glover et al. from the @ianofbristol.bsky.social lab and the marvelous Kev Wilkinson showing that cells with mitochondrial protein import failure use tunnelling nanotubes for mitochondria transfer. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #mitochondria #biochemistry #organelles

Intercellular mitochondrial transfer and trans-mitophagy in response to protein import dysfunction

Glover et al. show that cells subject to mitochondrial protein import failure induce IMT via tunnelling nanotubes. This rescue response involves the transf

Fascinating paper in @natcellbio.nature.com by the Windhorst, @linderlab.bsky.social and Marlovits labs showing that a large number of diverse proteins interact via evolutionary conserved short linear motifs with the #actin #cytoskeleton. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Evolutionarily conserved short linear motifs drive actin filament binding - Nature Cell Biology

Paraschiakos, Yuan et al., using a computational pipeline, identify the short linear actin filament-binding motif (SFM) as an evolutionarily conserved actin filament-binding motif present in 103 human...

🧠 Special Issue @jneurochem.bsky.social now complete! #Astrocytes in #Cognition and #Behavior This special issue features reviews and research articles that explore how #astrocytes integrate #neural #circuits to understand #cognition and #behavior. 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1...

The @ptrrupprecht.bsky.social lab uses a really cool approach combining neuromodulator imaging, optogenetics, and two-photon calcium imaging to determine how locus coeruleus-mediated norepinephrine signaling influences different hippocampal cell types, including #astrocytes.

Happy to share that our paper is now out as a reviewed preprint : elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

I'm looking forward to #FENS2026 Don't miss the #hypoxia session on Friday morning, fantastic line up of speakers #neuroscience #astrocytes #pericytes

How does a cell remodel the ER membrane into a lipid droplet? Excited to share our new bioRxiv preprint, where we find that regulated opening of the seipin ring defines a functional ER–lipid droplet interface — and identify SMLR1 as a regulator of this transition. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We were struggling with wiggling neurites on our long term imaging data and the poor existing plugins to deal with them, until I thought "let's ask Eugene about it". Lo and behold, he just made the perfect plugin for dynamic kymograph generation!

With a motivating push from @christlet.bsky.social I made a new Fiji plugin, CurveMorph. The idea was to create a tool for kymograph generation along the dynamic (bending/shaking) filament shapes (microtubules, cilia, neurites, etc). The logo was made using the plugin. github.com/UU-cellbiolo...
