This is actually pretty amazing! So sweeteners can indeed replace to a certain degree the sugar intake and have beneficial effects in life. Might as well have my energy drink 0% sugars today 😁

SEPTIN9 locally activates the RhoGEF ARHGEF18 to promote early stages of mitochondrial fission, say Rachel Shannon, William Trimble and colleagues @sickkidsto.bsky.social @utoronto.ca: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Busy, busy summer. I had the amazing opportunity to attend the #SeptinSRC in beautiful Niagara Falls and give a short talk on the potential role of septins in B cells and antibody responses. It honestly felt a bit surreal as for the first time I I was the one who knew the least in the room 😁 (cont)

Thanks !
Microtubule-driven cell shape changes and actomyosin flow synergize to position the centrosome
Schaeffer et al. show that the centrosomal array of microtubules is positioned by the contraction of the actomyosin network and the reorganization of cell

Are you looking for a postdoc?
I will be looking for 2-4 people after the summer to join the lab !!
Do not hesitate to reach out and disseminate !!

US is going completely bonkers. Actually a bit spooked with all that is going on. + researchers getting detained at the borders is another huge red flag and others deported/losing funding. Wild, wild west.

Tired: work alone in your project.
Wired: Slowly convince everyone in the lab to work on your project and help you "finish"

10/10 reccomend 😆

A great start of the year for Mattila's lab! 🤗 In our report, we delve into CD19-Cre mouse model enhanced antibody responses (one of the most commonly used Cre-lox systems for generation of B cell conditional KOs).

Pretty excited (and a bit nervous) about my upcoming trip to the US for a conference next year! As a European, we've heard both fascinating and daunting things about the States. Any tips or suggestions for navigating, enjoying, and staying safe while there? #AcademicSky #ImmunoSky

Good morning San Diego! Who else is here for #CellBio2024 ? I'll present the work from lab on two posters and a talk! Busy and exciting times... Interested in lysosomal signaling or septins, in lymphocytes or elsewhere? Happy to have a chat!

In Mattila lab, we show our Christmas spirit and appreciation for each other in the LaserTag battlefield😂Some will also tell that we punish our PI by tagging her the most. A good way to recharge and celebrate Christmas🥳 #academicsky #scientistshavefun #christmas
