See this? This = implanting mouse embryo. Usually this happens inside its mother and is invisible to us, but we can actually watch implantation ex vivo with the hope of understanding why implantation goes awry in embryos of older women. A 🧵...

We are getting closer to Toledo CellulART 2025! Please register early if you would like to be considered for a talk! More at www.toledocellulart.org

Our new preprint is out! Led by @stefanosala89.bsky.social sky.social we investigate the difference between molecular tension sensing and global tension on the focal adhesion. Follow along for a thread of our findings:

A big shout out to @septinlab.bsky.social for organizing an awesome septin meeting this past week. It was great to catch up in person with so many of the people in this amazing community and meet so many new people working on septins! #SeptSRC

@maggieutgaard.bsky.social from @pwoakes.bsky.social and @myosincity.bsky.social labs with a killer talk on the coupling of the nucleus to septins in response to mechanical stress.

5 days left to register at discounted rate, and 3 weeks left from Sunday for FASEB - Septins: spatial regulators of cell biology.
An exciting program of over 50 talks.
Daily meet the speakers luncheons/dinners
Career development sessions
Poster prizes &
a killer dance party mix in the making!?!

The feeling when you get back to the lab after a week at a gordon conference - totally inspired and energised after hearing incredible science and meeting amazing people. Thank you @tanentzapflab.bsky.social and @sarawickstrom.bsky.social for GRC Fibronectin, Integrins and related molecules.

LAST CALL for

It'll be a slightly smaller crew than previous years but we'll still be at #cellbio24 #ASCB! If you like LIM proteins or septins come check out our posters:

So many stunning images in this group! Vote for your favorite!

From the archive - integrins and actin. I never get tired of looking at the cytoskeleton!

We have a bunch of posters at the ASCB meeting in Boston for those that are around. Come check out everything we’ve been working on!
