Testing out the new hyped AI peer review tool (@qedscience.bsky.social) on one of my old papers and saw many of the errors people are posting about online, but this comment made me laugh! Thank you LLM for blindly trusting my movies are amazing even if you have not seen them

Despite their high rigidity, microtubules (MTs) dynamically bend and buckle in cells. MT-self repair is inherent to their metastable nature, but it remains unclear whether just inherent repair mechanisms are sufficient to maintain MT integrity🧵 (1/9)

Excited to share that my paper on Tau–Microtubule interactions is now published in Nature Physics!🎉

Our work shows that tau goes beyond stabilizing microtubules—it also promotes the removal of defects in the microtubule lattice.

Tau accelerates tubulin exchange in the microtubule lattice - Nature Physics
Beyond its known role in stabilizing microtubules, it is now shown that tau protein actively promotes lattice defect repair by enhancing tubulin turnover at topological defects.

🍹Kletter et al. show that cell state-specific cytoplasmic density controls spindle architecture and scaling in neural differentiation, suggesting that the physical properties of the cytoplasm are a determinant in #organelle size control.
