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!!

Bioimage Analysis Specialist | King's College London

BioImage analysis friends - King's are recruiting for a full-time, permanent facility position! Come and work with fun microscopes and fun people (and me!) - please share! www.kcl.ac.uk/jobs/126345-...

Next, at #EYSF2025 @reviewcommons.org is presented by @saramonaco-rc.bsky.social. It’s journal-agnostic, concentrates on science only and can save time as the peer-reviewed preprints can easily be resubmitted. How great would it be if we could ditch publishing and switch to reviewed preprints?

I’m not sure as a community we **truely** acknowledged how powerful the #CellMigrationSeminarSeries series was at keeping us connected at such an uncertain time. Thank-you @ankita13jha.bsky.social @adamshellard.bsky.social @drjenmitchell.bsky.social & @simplythebex.bsky.social

Drosophila as a model system to understand #collagen IV-related genetic disease. Learn how fly genetics and exploding brain tissue can inform on #ECM defects and pathological mechanisms. Team effort led by a very talented recent PhD graduate, Angus Nichols. doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

In new @jcb.org study from Muziyue Wu et al. @oweinerlab.bsky.social, in vivo biochemistry sheds new light on how the WAVE complex templates the characteristic shape of lamellipodial protrusions. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Congratulations, Jez!!

I am so proud of @jezcarlton.bsky.social . What a magnificent inaugural lecture, many congratulations Professor Carlton!

Live-cell magnetic manipulation of recycling endosomes reveals their direct effect on actin protrusions to promote invasive migration Repositioning of Rab25 vesicles containing formin and integrin cargos to the cell periphery promotes protrusion formation.

OMG, this is such a cool paper from Patrick Caswell's lab. They express Rab25-mCherry-GFP-nanobody in cells, microinject GFP-magnetic particles, then use a magnet to pull Rab25 to the plasma membrane to show that it can trigger actin protrusions! I want this system.

Manuscript from our lab on BioRxiv: We provide mechanistic insights that NHSL1 promotes Fast endophilin mediated carrier formation via both endophilin and Ena/VASP proteins thereby may facilitate membrane bending and Ena/VASP mediated actin polymerisation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

NHSL3 interacts with Ena/VASP proteins and the Scar/WAVE complex and promotes cell migration Tight control of mesenchymal cell migration is important for embryonic development and its deregulation causes disease. It is driven by lamellipodia protrusion, the leading edge of the migrating cell....

New from our lab: We identify NHSL3 as a lamellipodial Ena/VASP and Scar/WAVE complex interacting protein binding the latter with a unique mode of interaction and inhibiting Arp2/3 complex activity but unexpectantly promoting mesenchymal cell migration efficiency. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Intracellular mechanics and organelle mechanobiology Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary field that emerges at the cross-section of biology, physics and engineering. It aims to understand how living cells, tissues and animals sense and respond to me…

Announcing a new @embo.org Workshop on "Intracellular mechanics and organelle mechanobiology" that we are organizing with Michael Krieg and Verena Ruprecht at @icfo.eu (Barcelona) on 16-20 February, 2026. Please, repost and spread the word! 🙏 #EMBOmechanobio

New manuscript from our lab: Fast Endophilin Mediated Endocytosis (FEME), facilitates ligand induced endocytosis of a variety of receptors at the leading edge of migrating cells. The mechanism behind how FEME priming patches form is emerging.

Another new manuscript from our lab and excellent collaboration with the Bear lab @coronin.bsky.social: The Scar/WAVE complex promotes mesenchymal cell migration through Arp2/3 mediated lamellipodia protrusion.

Very excited to share the first preprint from the lab:
www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
We investigated neural crest migration all the way from head to tail of the Zebrafish embryo and we found their nuclei suffer dramatic deformations.
Want to know of they cope with feeling squeezed? 🐟🐠🐟

#Science Bluesky, do your thing:
