I have been slacking on the #microscreepy season! Thanks for reposting!

Also you can do crazy awesome imaging and then put googly eyes on them during Halloween season!!

PhD or Master's position available for Fall 2026!

Interested in how actin drives cell crawling, eating, dividing, or osmoregulation? What about pathogenesis of a brain-eating amoeba? Or eukaryotic evolution? If so, apply through my website: katrinavelle.wixsite.com/science/cont...

Actin filament assembly driven by distributive polymerases clustered on membrane surfaces Actin filaments created by the Arp2/3 complex form branched networks, that grow and push against cellular membranes. We employ theory and simulation to describe how membrane surfaces accelerate filame...

Haha 😂 we should have done that tooo!

Do it 😀

Aww thank you! 😊

Cell Migration Seminars Cell Migration Seminars every Tuesday at 16:00 BST.

If anyone ever wants to brush up on a lot of cell migration concepts don't forget we have several wonderful scientists who have given talks previously in cell migration seminars. I find it so comforting to go look at old videos, maybe someone else who will do as well!!

we found that nuclear envelope rupture triggers rapid DIAPH3 formin influx to generate a actin mesh to prevent further chromatin leakage from damaged nuclei. thanks to Pitter Huesgen @degradomics.bsky.social and @cibss.bsky.social, @chrkam.bsky.social

Thank you!!

Mechanics at its best. So cool

Have you ever thought about inflating tissues?
Or maybe quickly deflating those inflated tissues?

I thought you were adding us to society startup pack. I am clueless on how these are working 😀

Lol I am bleb society bahahaha I might have confused it for something else 😅

Moi moi

For today's #FluorescenceFriday I'm thrilled to share that
ScienceAdvances was so nice to pick my picture as this week's featured image!

It's actually a still of a video😊

Thank you @aaas.org

Such a beautiful work Maik!!

Early career people might not have a career to go to...soo 😞

Our paper is now published! The first encounter of a forming organism with bacteria reveals that innate immunity initiates in epithelial cells of early embryos, even in humans. www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Such an amazing work! Big congratulations

So cool to see all these in-vivo examples of cell squeezing

:) ❤️

Some of us are in barely survival mode :)

On Friday, my son stayed home from school because he had a sore throat and wasn’t feeling well. He went with my husband to his office for the morning while I handled our daughter. When he came back at lunch, he was not interested in eating, saying his throat hurt too much. 1/n

So cool

Excited to share our discovery www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

that the #centrosome is prone to breakage!

Using #motile cells, we identify centrosome breakage during #pathfinding, caused by #actin #forces, & prevented by #Dyrk3

Kudos to 1st author Madeleine & thanks to all collaborators!
