Microtubules lovers, assemble! 😍 So excited to be attending the EMBL conference @embl.org Microtubules: from atoms to complex systems and presenting my poster (#184) and latest preprint (doi.org/10.64898/202...) this Friday. #EESMicrotubules

Direct interactions between the cell’s powerhouses and nuclear pores might channel energy straight into the nucleus, fuelling cell division and differentiation. go.nature.com/43n6Fun

We are thrilled to announce our new preprint from the wonderful @sorayavillaseca.bsky.social Ever wondered how cells squeeze through tiny spaces in embryos? Neural crest cells use Dynein to transport their nucleus along microtubules. Check out the preprint!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Interaction of Gαi2 with EB1 controls microtubule dynamics and Rac1 activity in Xenopus neural crest cell migration Read this Research Article by Soraya Villaseca, Marcela Torrejón and colleagues: doi.org/10.1242/dev.... 🎥Gαi2 is required for cranial NC cell migration in vitro in Xenopus

We had an amazing day #Morpho5🖐️ last Friday! Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fantastic day of science, discussion, and community!!| We're currently gathering and preparing the photos from the symposium. Stay tuned! 📸

#CellBiology: “The centrosome is exposed to mechanical forces and can even break when cells move through narrow or complex environments,” says Renkawitz. #LMU researchers led by Jörg Renkawitz have discovered how these cells protect a sensitive organelle, the centrosome, from being destroyed.

Cell biology: how cells protect their centrosome against mechanical forces

When motile immune cells move through tissue, they are exposed to strong forces. Researchers at LMU have discovered how these cells protect a sensitive organelle, the centrosome, from being destroyed.

Very excited to share the first preprint from the lab: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... We investigated neural crest migration all the way from head to tail of the Zebrafish embryo and we found their nuclei suffer dramatic deformations. Want to know of they cope with feeling squeezed? 🐟🐠🐟
