Very excited to be sharing our new paper, just out in Nature Cell Biology!
The big question we investigate: How do migrating cells put their front 🔴 and back 🔵 in the right place?
1 week to start🔥
New @focalplane.bsky.social webinar series focused on #CellMigration, register & join us▶️, it will be fun!
pls spread the word, in the next one, ECRs could apply to show their work ;)

We are thrilled to announce our new preprint from the wonderful @sorayavillaseca.bsky.social
Ever wondered how cells squeeze through tiny spaces in embryos?
Neural crest cells use Dynein to transport their nucleus along microtubules.
Check out the preprint!!

💥 🚀 New preprint! 🎉🥳
How do hundreds of organelles organize themselves into near-perfect patterns inside a cell, without a blueprint? We dive deep into how basal bodies (BBs) self-organize in MCCs - and how actin actively tunes their dynamics into order 🍪
