Can’t wait for the BioMatter Meeting in beautiful Arolla 🇨🇭⛰️
Amazing lineup of speakers + cutting-edge science on cytoskeleton dynamics from cells to tissues.
See you there!
Heading to #CellBio2025 @ascbiology.bsky.social @embo.org?
Stop by my poster P0101 tomorrow (Sun, 12:45 PM) in the session “Cytoskeleton and Motility-Microtubule Organization and Dynamics”.
Looking forward to lively discussions on tubulin regulation & microtubule organization. See you in Philly!

Tubulin autoregulation is essential for spheroid architecture & viability. Without it:
- cells detach (corona forms)
- cell death increases
📌This phenotype isn’t due to cell cycle defects or migration — it reflects impaired cell adhesion.

Loss or mutation of TTC5, the key mediator of tubulin autoregulation, increases tubulin mRNA and protein levels in 3D spheroids. This leads to microtubule hyperstability and reorganization of the network.
📌Tubulin levels matter (even in steady state!)
