Our Academic Editor Subhojit Roy (@roylab-ucsd.bsky.social) is attending the Cell Biology of the Neuron GRC, which takes place this week. Please reach out to him if you'd like to discuss a submission, or visit: journals.biologists.com/jcs/pages/re... #forscientistsbyscientists #notforprofit

It won’t take you years to publish your work in JCS: most articles go from submission to acceptance in under 5 months. We also show a strong commitment at first decision, with over 95% of revisions being accepted. Find out more: journals.biologists.com/jcs/pages/re... #forscientistsbyscientists

Final version of our paper on zebrafish pericytes and BBB function is now out in Elife! Congrats to Oz the first author and all contributors. elifesciences.org/articles/104...

Mural cells protect the adult brain from hemorrhage but do not control the blood–brain barrier in developing zebrafish

Pericytes regulate cerebrovascular development, while vascular smooth muscle cells prevent hemorrhage and blood–brain barrier breakdown at vascular hotspots in juvenile and adult zebrafish.

We are accepting submissions for our upcoming special issue - Imaging Cell Architecture and Dynamics. This issue will be coordinated by @franbottanelli.bsky.social & Giulia Zanetti alongside our Editor @guijacquemet.bsky.social. Extended deadline: 1 May 2026 journals.biologists.com/jcs/pages/im...

The Government released the final report of the Strategic Examination of R&D yesterday. It's called "Ambitious Australia"🙃 Haven't read much, yet, but it says we should fund the ARC more. Like every single previous review. Can we got on with it & do that, now? www.industry.gov.au/publications...

Issue 4 is complete Explore our Toc: journals.biologists.com/jcs/issue/13... Our cover image shows the apical supracellular actin network in squamous epidermoid cells. Actin filaments are colour-coded according to z-position. See article by Marpeaux et al. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Two postdoc positions in way lab go live tomorrow......please pass the message along.......more details to follow.

Our study is out today 🎉 in @natmetabolism.nature.com. The liver doesn’t secrete proteins nonstop; it follows a daily rhythm. Meal timing controls liver protein release via glycogen metabolism, and disrupted eating blunts these rhythms. A 🧵 ...

After 15 years as Editor-in-chief (EiC), Michael Way @drmichaelway.bsky.social will be stepping down at the end of 2026 & we are seeking feedback from the cell biology community as part of the consultation process for appointing a new EiC. We'd love to hear from you: www.surveymonkey.com/r/GZCC9F9

First day back at work for 2026, and excited to share that @gurgaganveer's first paper from his PhD has been published in @acsnano! If you are interested in the biology of endosomal escape & strategies for enhanced delivery of therapeutics, check it out: bit.ly/4roRcnp

Do you want to know more about how Retromer regulates Rab7 activity in yeast? Of course you do. Check out the new collaboration with Andreas Mayer with work led by Catarina Alves and Kevin Chen.

Our preprint on mural cells and the zebrafish blood brain barrier is now revised with new data and analysis www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Right now, the Government is starving medical research of full funding, even as it claims that science and research are national priorities. If our leaders truly value science as much as they say, then they must back their words with action—and fund it properly. Join the campaign!

How do nanoparticles traverse the endothelial barrier in a living organism? We explored this fundamental question using the zebrafish and PEG-based nanoparticles (NPs) in our latest article: (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...).

Trans-Endothelial Trafficking in Zebrafish: Nanobio Interactions of Polyethylene Glycol-Based Nanoparticles in Live Vasculature

Trans-endothelial transport of nanoparticles remains poorly characterized in live organisms. The zebrafish is a well-established model for direct in vivo imaging; however, standardized controls have n...

Global Bioimaging are running a survey on Authorship and Acknowledgements for imaging core facility staff. If you work in a core, please take five minutes to fill out the survey and help us understand the good, the bad and the ugly around this topic. Thanks! Link: forms.gle/cKh6m4SskzZm...

'The study...found that the main driver of increased red tape was university efficiency reforms. It threw doubt on the idea that increasing automation results in real efficiency, and suggested that Australian universities...had recently shifted towards stronger central executive management.' 1/2

University efficiency drives may have opposite effect, study finds. The administrative burden in Australian universities is most keenly felt by teaching and research staff, according to a study from the University of Melbourne’s faculty of education. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-aust...
