Thought Spef1 one was some ciliary protein? Check out Dr. Rocio‘s (@rtpastrana.bsky.social) poster on how Spef1 shapes epithelial monolayers, no cilia needed 🤩. Tuesday at #cellbio2024, P2439, B46. @vucellimaging.bsky.social

Also, also on Monday at #cellbio2024 I get to present Olivia’s (@operkins.bsky.social) unexpected discoveries on the link between clathrin-mediated endocytosis and the growth of epithelial microvilli 🤯

Also Monday at #cellbio2024! Julissa (@yuyi106.bsky.social) will present her studies on the role of an I-BAR protein (IRTKS) in the pathogenic mechanism of Enterohemorrhagic E. coli 🦠🧫🔬 P2352. B677. @vucellimaging.bsky.social

Posters on tuft cells are about as rare as tuft cells, but at #cellbio2024 on Monday, @jen-silverman.bsky.social presents “P1718. Organization of a cytoskeletal superstructure in the apical domain of intestinal tuft cells. B23” Yes! those are gigantic actin bundles 🤯

Good sampling on this confocal volume of small intestinal tissue showing the apical shag carpet (blue is F-actin, magenta is ZO1)🔬🤩

Super proud of pre-Dr. Julissa for going from ND to fundable score with a single revision of her F31 NRSA app🤩🙌🍾🥂🎉🦠🔬

Slicing through an intestinal organoid on the spinning disk, these cells are really dynamic 🏎️ before tissue polarity sets in.

We don’t study dividing cells, but I can respect what they’re trying to do. And always nice watching stress fibers blow up 💥🙏

Dear EGFP, thanks for all the data, it’s been nice knowing you.
