One of the two known videos of Jimi Hendrix playing acoustic (1967) - allegedly, the video was made after a photoshoot where the photographer brought him a special 12-string guitar, strung upside down to adapt to Jimi's left-handed playing.
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?

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.
