Stentor cells display a basic form of learning, but how does a cell with no nervous system encode memory? Find out how @deeparajan.bsky.social is tackling this question at her ASCB poster B561 Probing molecular substrates of memory in the single cell Stentor coeruleus. Mon 12/16 11:15-12:45

He also has a poster on Tuesday afternoon #ASCB #CellBio2024

Fantastic #ASCB #CellBio2024 meeting here in San Diego. Would like to highlight our student @abbasz.bsky.social talk this afternoon in the Climate Change session on mammalian-algae endosymbiosis.

If you’ve read our work (research.arcadiascience.com) and think @arcadiascience.bsky.social might be a good fit for you, check our open positions (jobs.lever.co/arcadiascience)!

No booth this year at but I’ll be in the poster hall throughout #CellBio2024 so flag me down if you have questions!

Join the Starr-Luxton lab & friends at #ASCB2024! Bringing exciting new research on nuclear envelope dynamics and cytoskeletal crosstalk.
2 Talks + 3 Posters, Dec 15-16 in San Diego
Topics: KASH proteins, motor proteins, nuclear movement & cellular biophysics!

With the whole UTSW breast cancer team @sabcs.bsky.social

Yup, first time!

We have one to send you.

Fun read in Science this week about the Genentech patents

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Looks very exciting and tractable

Registration opening soon!

Okay cell biologists - where are you? 👀

There's clearly been a surge in activity and hundreds of new members in the last few days.

Starter packs are a good starting point to reconnect, for example go.bsky.app/RN6HnZp

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

The NS2B/NS3 two-component protease from West Nile virus. The NS3 protein is visualised as an electrostatic surface with red regions being acidic, and blue regions being basic. White regions are neutral or hydrophobic in nature. A short segment of the NS2B "cofactor" protein is shown as coloured sticks. The isoleucine 60 residue (magenta), and tryptophan 62 (yellow) residues are critical for NS2B binding to NS3.

Today we celebrate the life of Warren DeLano. Warren is best known for his development of PyMOL, the tool we use almost every day to depict 3D molecular structure of small molecules and proteins.
Please post your favourite PyMOL illustration. Tag with #PyMOL

So how many of these to I have to read until I’m done with the book?

Well that was eggshausting!

Can’t resist

It is fun to connect the dots in history but the future is unwritten and unpredictable. Working on exciting & important projects with talented & inspired collaborators should always be the priority.

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #951,556, Josh Gruber ‪@joshuagruber.bsky.social‬, joined on Sep 10, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #951,556!

Green Lynx Spider. entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/be...

Yup those markings on the back look pretty similar. Also it’s eating a honeybee, one of the telltale signs. Cool! And thanks!!

Any bug people can comment on this guy? Maybe a mantis or a spider eating a bee. Never seen this bug before. Dallas, TX🪲🕷️🪳🐞🐛🧪
