Stand aside Thermo Fisher, you have competition. I was looking for a PIP5K1B antibody and I noticed something odd with the supplier example blot. US Biological, #406903 It is now hitting me how much time and money has been wasted by this type of reckless behavior.

New preprint alert!! In our last work we have found that Tissue stiffening primes migratory cell states by allowing histone serotonylation! #biomechanics #xenopus #chromatin #neuralcrest #devbio #cellmigration #frogpower biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Buy the drybath beads for a thousand dollars, or go to ebay and order aluminum pull tabs for $35? I think you know the answer to that.

How do LMNA mutations cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and other #laminopathies? In our latest preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2024.06.11.5…), led by the amazing Noam Zuela-Sopilniak and @julien_morival we show that cardiomyocyte-specific depletion of lamin A/C causes severe DCM. ...

Very proud of my spectacular graduate student Liz Kurtz @liz_kurtz_ on her first paper. More to come from her in the future!
Liz Kurtz @liz_kurtz_, Nathan Roy @roybiolab and colleagues find that the scaffold protein CasL restrains membrane blebbing and promotes T cell migration. Highlight: journals.biologists.com/jcs/… Article: journals.biologists.com/jcs/…

.@LabYuseff @uc_chile show that B cells respond to mechanical cues at the immune synapse through ATAT1-dependent microtubule acetylation to coordinate cytoskeletal dynamics & lysosome positioning, enhancing antigen extraction and presentation hubs.la/Q03y2G-f0
