Off to Dresden for my seminar tomorrow at @mpi-cbg.de kindly hosted by Sandra Scharaw. I can't wait to meet everyone and talk exciting science stuff 🔬🧪🧬. Presenting my Atlas of cytokinesis 😊 🌍🍬
But what's the mechanism?
Today, our animation synthesizing decades of research on actin-mediated endocytosis in budding yeast was published:

The result of a fantastic Iwasa-Drubin lab collaboration.

2nd postdoc job alert in the Crick Institute in London. Project will examine the role of motors & the cytoskeleton (actin, septins and microtubules) during vaccinia virus egress using biochemical, structural & cellular approaches + live cell imaging. spread the word.

Wow this is a seriously serious supplementary figure from @cellpress.bsky.social today. Panels A through UU.
I get that Cell likes to minimize the number of supplementary figures. But is this really what is happening here?

We put cells and cytoskeleton filaments on the architecture of the musée d'Orsay.

Scientists of the #CytoMorphoLab adapted their protocols to illustrate the questions that keep them awake at night.
-> Two shows on the 24th and 25th of January.
I tried an even harder example on Gemini Pro image generation and this is quite scary/amazing. I asked for a microscopy image of around 20 HeLa cells, GFP tagged 20% nuclear, 10% membrane, +1 nuclear staining, + overlap. Image below and prompt in the following post.

Now online! IL-1R1-positive dorsal raphe neurons drive self-imposed social withdrawal in sickness
During sickness, animals exhibit prolonged social withdrawal, a response that may limit disease spread. Elevated IL-1β levels during inflammation activate IL-1R1-expressing neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus to drive self-imposed withdrawal, highlighting a neural mechanism through which immune activation reconfigures social behavior.
