Just found out about Carnegie Embryology's closing at Hopkins. I did my first grad school rotation there with Andy Fire & Yixian Zheng. And took the legendary Molecular Morphogenesis course. It was such a jolt. The smell of this place is still in my head. Sad. www.bizjournals.com/baltimore/ne...

Storied research institute leaves Hopkins campus after 100 years - Baltimore Business Journal

After over 100 years of research that led to a Nobel Prize and dozens of other discoveries, one of the world's top research institutions is leaving Baltimore.

Hot off the press!! 🚨 Our work is now published in #NatureCommunications! We show that keeping tubulin levels in check is key for preserving microtubule dynamics, multicellular architecture and viability. A huge thank you to the @ivanagasic.bsky.social team for making this possible! 🙌 rdcu.be/fu8ek

Tubulin autoregulation tunes microtubule dynamics to support multicellular architecture and viability

Nature Communications - Almeida AC et al. uncover the physiological role of a long-elusive feedback pathway that regulates tubulin biosynthesis. By tuning microtubule dynamics, this mechanism...

This Turkish yogurt cake is similar to a lemon-scented cheesecake, but it’s lighter and has a fresher, tangier flavor. nyti.ms/4fcwnZf

Yogurt Cake Recipe • 4★

This Turkish yogurt cake, adapted from the cookbook “Claudia Roden’s Mediterranean,” is similar to a lemon-scented cheesecake, but it’s lighter and has a fresher, tangier flavor. It’s good both warm and cold, either on its own or topped with berries that have been macerated in a pinch or two of sugar.

🧵 New paper alert! Today on bioRxiv, we show how a microtubule (MT) associated protein, MTCL1, links 2 regulatory layers: mechanical MT stabilization and writing of then tubulin code. A multi-lab effort driven by Juan Perez-Bertoldi and Julie Dang spanning atoms to organisms. 1/n

I caught this great interview with legendary guitarist Lenny Kaye while driving yesterday. Brilliant quote by Patti Smith: "Progress isn't the future, it's keeping up with the present." www.npr.org/2026/07/09/n...

'Music belongs to the moment': Patti Smith's guitarist Lenny Kaye is 'Goin' Local'

Kaye's collaboration with Smith began in 1971 and continues to this day. He says she taught him to trust his musical sensibilities — and to always keep evolving. Now 79, he has his first solo album.

Hey #nucleus nerds, the JCS Special Issue on the Cell Biology of the Nucleus is now live! This was a pleasure to co-edit with Megan King @luskinglab.bsky.social.

Journal of Cell Science@jcellsci.bsky.social · last mo.

Our Special Issue: Cell Biology of the Nucleus is complete Explore our Toc: journals.biologists.com/jcs/issue/13... Our cover image shows the posteriorly positioned nuclei (Nup50-mCherry - pink) of notochord cells in Ciona embryos. See article by Peng et al. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

JCS Cover: Posterior nucleus positioning in Ciona notochord cells. Co-expression of hCD4–eGFP (green, cell boundary) and Nup50–mCherry (pink, nuclei) in notochord cells in Ciona embryos. The cells and the nuclei are 3D reconstructed and highlighted by Imaris software. See article by H. Peng et al. (jcs264699). Special Issue on Cell Biology of the Nucleus Guest Editor: Abby Buchwalter

New Grotjahn lab preprint from superstar postdoc @nitishdua.bsky.social! Check out all the deets in the 🧵 below. IMO, it’s a great example of how studying the local microenvironment with #teamtomo can reveal biology that would otherwise remain hidden. #mitochondria #morphometrics

Nitish Dua@nitishdua.bsky.social · last mo.

Really hyped to share our pre-print on mtDNA replication-fission ! @nanigrotjahn.bsky.social (doi: doi.org/10.64898/202...) 🧵with details below ⤵️
