Attempt number seven at uploading this video of intermediate filaments in an enormous COS7 cell. I have a feeling the BlueSky compression will not do it any favors.

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

Vinculin is a simple adapter protein right? Wrong!
That’s been the prevailing view for the 46 years since it was discovered.
Here we provide a new paradigm and show that vinculin is a complex mechanosensor itself, containing 6 binary switch domains.

The mechanical response of vinculin
Vinculin buffers force via dynamic domain unfolding/refolding under physiological load and lacks a stable head-tail lock.

The panda ant (Euspinolia militaris) is a creature with many SURPRISES.
1st, as some of you may have guessed it's not *actually* a type of panda, it just looks like one.
2nd & fewer of you would have guessed this. It's not even an ANT. It's a wasp where only males have wings.

How anatomical names can carry hidden histories of power and exclusion
Why is your ankle named after a Greek hero and your uterus after a Renaissance anatomist? The answer says as much about power and memory as it does about medicine.
