Christian Gonzalez-Billault

It is such an interesting article that might be echoed in the rest of the world

Thank you so much for highlighting our recently published paper! We are genuinely thrilled about this new line of research and motivated to see where it leads. It’s an exciting journey ahead. Appreciate your interest!!

Will we ever fully understand the brain? – People – EMBO Meet Christian González-Billault, Vice-Rector of Research and Development at the University of Chile, Santiago, and EMBO Associate Member

“Part of the success of the Chilean #research system is (...) tied with the fact that we always establish international connections,” says @glezbillault.bsky.social, Vice-Rector of R&D at @uchile.bsky.social and EMBO Associate Member

I am truly honored on my election as Council member of the @ascbiology.bsky.social. Looking forward to work with colleagues and move forward this beautiful discipline.

A great week on Easter Island. Here at the Rano Kai volcano where rapamycin was discovered. #aging #science

It is one week after the 7th Emerging Concepts of the Neuronal Cytoskeleton workshop in Chile. Looking forward to #neurocyto2027 in Santa Cruz, Chile

Breaking language barriers: ‘Not being fluent in English is often viewed as being an inferior scientist’ Biologist Tatsuya Amano works to make science a fairer place for non-fluent speakers.

Diversity is also having a different native language.

Today is a very special day for me: I just started as a permanent CNRS researcher at the Institute of Light and Matter! My research will focus on the physics of biological tissues and in particular the role of activity and anisotropy.🔬

A reminder: for genotypes to produce phenotypes, they have to go through development

Wnt from surrounding cells is internalized via clathrin-coated pits at dendritic branch points before triggering microtubule nucleation at the surface of endosomes. Great work from Melissa Rolls' lab in @plosbiology.org: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Desde la SEBBM lamentamos comunicar el fallecimiento de Joan Guinovart, acontecido esta pasada madrugada. Joan fue presidente, era socio de honor y ha sido una figura clave para nuestra sociedad, además de referente de la bioquímica tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Joan Guinovart’s passing. He was an exceptional scientist and an extraordinary individual whose contributions and presence will be profoundly missed. @irbbarcelona.org

Our assessment of a person's epigenetic ("biological") age has been centered on DNA methylation. A new report shows that a set of 7 histone markers has comparable accuracy and also uncovers new pathways of aging biology

I am super excited to share our article addressing a longstanding question in neurobiology: how Ca²⁺ signaling cascades initiated at dendritic spines operate at a distance. Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @cp-cell.bsky.social.

Really bummed to have missed ASCB this year due to some last-minute circumstances, but excited that our manuscript describing an IF disassembly tool will (hopefully) be posted soon. Here's a movie of vimentin color-coded by orientation.

I attended @ascbiology.bsky.social meeting almost uninterruptedly since I was PhD student back in 1999. I am missing not be there this year. Hope to come back in Philadelphia. Cell biologist and cytoskeleton researchers, enjoy!!

Excited to be at #CellBio2024! Today, I'll be presenting my work exploring how the actin binding proteins and E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate neuronal morphogenesis. I'll be at poster board 40 and giving a teaser talk at 10:45 in Room 33B. Come say hi, if you love neurons, cytoskeleton or ubiquitin!

Ever wondered about how accessible the tubulin C-terminal tails (CTTs) are within the microtubule lattice? Takashi Hotta (Puck Ohi lab) will present our work at a poster Tuesday 1:30pm (P2401, B8) and in a talk Tuesday 6:15pm (room 30C). #cellbio24 #CellBio2024 #cytoskeleton

Couldn't make @ascbiology.bsky.social annual meeting this year ☹️ - hope everyone has a blast. Check out Journal of Cell Science booth @jcellsci.bsky.social - we are the good publishers who care about the science community!

A beautifully written editorial by @holdenthorp.bsky.social explain why HIV/AIDS intervention merits 2024 breakthrough for Science

An interesting study that address a cost for life expectancy increase. We need to find “country-specific tailored interventions to maximize equitable and sustainable healthy aging”
