Coro1A and TRIM67 collaborate in netrin-dependent neuronal morphogenesis Ho et al. identified a novel role of coronin 1A in neuronal development. They find coronin 1A mediates growth cone and filopodial dynamics, and its interac

@chrisho.bsky.social discovered exciting roles for Coro1A in netrin-dependent neuronal morphogenesis. A fun foray into a new-to-us actin regulator.

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.

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!

2024 Cell Biology of the Neuron GRC was rated one of the best Gordon conferences by attendees. Next stop is Italy (2026) chaired by @rkuruvi1.bsky.social & Gipi Schiavo. @barrlab.bsky.social and I will chair one after that. Attendance capped further, so don't miss it!

Strategies for genetic manipulation of the halotolerant black yeast Hortaea werneckii: ectopic DNA integration and marker-free CRISPR/Cas9 transformation | Microbiology Spectrum Hortaea werneckii is a remarkable yeast capable of growing in high salt concentration, and its cell division cycle alternates between fission-like and budding. For these unique attributes, H. wernecki...

I am so happy to see this finally published! Being able to manipulate Hortaea genetically has been a dream since I was a postdoc, and now it is a reality! This was possible thanks to the @mblscience.bsky.social Whitman Fellowship, which let me spend my summer studying this amazing yeast.
