Cool story on nanopatters! We had picked Osiris genes as erect wing regulated, but no clue what this was about. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Can you spot the difference? 🔬 SiR-actin labeling can be cytotoxic and affects actin dynamics - while the new XActin probes do not! Developed by @veselin-nasufovic.bsky.social and perfect for time-resolved and STED imaging without the need for genetic manipulation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

First Post! Thrilled to share our lab's first evolutionary cytoskeleton study! We uncover two distinct FtsZ paralogs in Odinarchaeota OdinFtsZ1 forms curved filaments, while OdinFtsZ2 assembles into spiral rings. A glimpse into tubulin evolution! threads👇 #Eukaryogenesis #AsgardArchaea #cytoskeleton

It’s incredibly hard to study lipids in biological membranes on the nanoscale. You need near-perfect information on both membrane ultrastructure and lipid density, which usually isn’t attainable. Lipid-CLEM brought to you by @mathilda95.bsky.social changes that. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Cicadas have little, bendy micro-pillars on their wings that pierce bacterial membranes and are as effective at killing microbes as a bleach solution. It might be possible to mimic this effect for use in medical (etc.) equipment. 🪳🪲🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

This #EM_Monday highlights how organelles can shape cells in 🧠! E.g. glia, with their thin processes, often wrap around neurons. But when organelles like lipid droplets (LDs) are present, they can create dents in neighboring neurons—like the one shown here, where a glial LD indents neurons' somas🧵

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. #morphogenesis doi.org/10.1073/pnas... (1/n)
