๐Ÿšจ New preprint!
Using U-ExM + in situ cryo-ET, we show how C2CD3 builds an in-to-out radial architecture connecting the distal centriole lumen to its appendages. Great collab with @cellarchlab.com @chgenoud.bsky.social @stearnslab.bsky.social ๐Ÿ™Œ. #TeamTomo #UExM

The longer we have worked on and refined this #microtubule - based model of #neurodegeneration, the more convincing it becomes. It is the fruit of 20 years of work. If you are interested, join my THE CYTOSKELETON OF NEURONS AND GLIA online talk this Thurday: ncytoskeleton.wixsite.com/webinars

Weโ€™re excited to share the first publication from our lab, now out in @EMBOPress! @shayma-a.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk
Using live imaging in the mouse embryo, we tracked how heart progenitors migrate and assemble into the heart tube.
