Hi everyone, because it's my first time winning any contest, I ain't gonna lose this wave of opportunity to talk about it 👀. I got tweeted, but I feel the need to publicize this here too. I won the @ascbiology.bsky.social ASCB 2024 Image Contest! Thanks for selecting my entry!
Realized this morning that my submission got selected for Yale's Beauty in Science 2025 exhibition! Seeing the live-assembly of filopodia projections by formin mDia3 in mast cells got me really stoked back then! #FluorescenceFriday

🧵5/6 — The Big Picture
EndoNB works on endogenous proteins. No rare antibodies. No overexpression.
It’s scalable and ready to explore the 1000+ surface proteins we’ve barely studied.
We’re done understanding vesicular trafficking by looking at a handful of model surface proteins.

🧵1/6 — Preprint Alert!
I am super proud to present the latest work of our lab. Earthlings and those just visiting, I introduce you…. EndoNB: A better, smarter and versatile way to study the dynamics of cell surface proteins. 🧪

My first post on Bluesky! Very excited to share our work just published in @science.org. We find that “Interphase cell morphology defines the mode, symmetry, and outcome of mitosis” - in angiogenesis and other tissues! www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Interphase cell morphology defines the mode, symmetry, and outcome of mitosis
During tissue formation, dynamic cell shape changes drive morphogenesis while asymmetric divisions create cellular diversity. We found that the shifts in cell morphology that shape tissues could conco...

We show that under low ahesion conditions Tensin 1 forms endogenous condensates to store inactive adhesion components. These can be released upon stress-mediated Tensin 1 phosphorylation to regulate adhesion dynamics.

New preprint alert!📣 @midibu.bsky.social and team take a deep dive into Tensin1 liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and the mechanisms of how it regulates adhesion dynamics!
Check out the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
@johannaivaska.bsky.social
Adhesion-derived condensates control component availability to regulate adhesion dynamics
Integrin adhesion complexes mediate cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions and undergo dynamic remodelling to regulate cell adhesion and migration. Here, we demonstrate that tensin 1 (TNS1), a m...

Unlike eggs & mitotic cells, in adherent interphasic cells the centrosome is NOT positioned by a balance of forces along #microtubules, but by cell shape organization around the #centrosome: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Thanks for selecting my entry. This is one of my favorite movies captured. I’m very flattered 🙂
Check out the stunning movie by @xianglejerry.bsky.social from @wumin-lab.bsky.social, the winner of the 2024 ASCB Video Contest! Traveling waves of FBP17-EGFP at the cortex of immune mast cells #ASCB2024 @ascbiology.bsky.social

It was a humbling experience being able to talk to people about our works at the ASCB. I’m flattered that I had plenty audience for me to keep going without break for ~6 h straight and going overtime! Thanks, everyone 🥹 #CellBio2024 @ascbiology.bsky.social

#FluorescenceFriday An old video of a cute mast cell (RBL-2H3) exhibiting cortical waves of active Cdc42 after getting treated with cytochalasin-D overnight. Sorry not sorry to kill #actin hehe. #TIRF 4 s per frame acquisition, 8 fps, 32× real time.

Look at these distinct clusters exhibited by N-WASP and Arp2/3 ! Is branched #actin polymerization the sole driving force for nucleating cortical actin waves? Cross-talks within the actin network can be messy, so how can we study such complexities? #CellBio2024 @ascbiology.bsky.social

Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space !
Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns.

Who needs immunofluorescence?

Focal adhesions (or cell feet as they were known then) were first observed in this 1975 paper by Abercombie and Dunn
doi.org/10.1016/0014...

This gem comes from the obituary of Graham Dunn published in J Cell Sci today.

I started a list of people working broadly on cell adhesion and cell migration. I likely missed many, please drop me a message if you want to be added
