Congratulations to Celia Municio-Diaz in the lab for this new publication, showing that Cell Wall mechanosensors taken from distant yeast species can still function and detect forces in the foreign cell wall of fission yeast cells!

interesting work revealing differences between evolutionary distant actins!

is there a direct crosstalk between actin and vimentin intermediate filaments? Our work shows that vimentin promotes actin assembly by stabilizing ATP-subunits at the barbed end.
Fantastic work done by @lilianpaty.bsky.social with @romet-jegou-lab.bsky.social
