1. A thread about the value of doing "slow science": When I was in grad school I heard this (likely apocryphal) story about one of my favourite scientists: Barbara McClintock.

Wow! We got the cover! #MBOC #ASCB #CellBio So proud of #TeamTestis. Screening <270 lines for shape defects was a huge team effort! I created this collage from the team’s images from the past 2 years! Depth-color-coded with Fiji. Inspired by late 19th century lithographic animal illustrations.

Very excited that the lab's first paper is out! We showed that in stem cells, Aurora B controls abscission dynamics by regulating microtubules stability and MCAK recruitment. Very happy with this streamlined version of our 2024 preprint. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Every once in a while we publish a paper that moves a whole field forward. I think that's the case for this one from the Bugaj lab, where they describe proteins for THERMOGENETIC control of cellular behavior. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It seems that many labs make only incomplete use of the three steps of our #Drosophila genetic training, which includes the manual, the PPT and the tasks. See explanations and downloads here: sites.manchester.ac.uk/fly-facility...

Cells are full of protein machines. Most don’t act alone, but instead form part of larger multiprotein complexes. For example, epithelial tissues & organs assemble by virtue of the multiprotein machines mediating cell-cell adhesion or adhesion of cells to the underlying extracellular matrix 1/n 🧪

Read below for the latest from Emily Ho in my lab on in vivo receptor tyrosine kinase biosensors. This has been a dream project, seeing endogenous RTK activity in live embryos for the first time. Surprise: they don't always match those of downstream signaling pathways!

I've always wondered how Lgl can form a stable complex with aPKC-Par6, and also establish complementary domains. The Cryo-EM structure guided a new explanation for their mutual antagonistic relationship and a mechanistic understanding of Par6 ability to act as both an aPKC inhibitor and activator.
