Belated post… last year, our lab painted a glia mural!
It took about 1 day and we used a projector for tracing.
Can you guess which cell is which?

One of my Oxford visit highlights? I got to see these priceless slides that Ruffini sent to Sherrington of various sensory end organs. And yes, Ruffini had to excise these receptors from his own skin 😳🔬ðŸ§

New preprint from the lab 🎉: γ-tubulin is a novel target of the tubulin autoregulation pathway! Previously thought to exclusively target α- and β-tubulin mRNAs, we show that the TTC5–SCAPER–CNOT11 axis also degrades γ-tubulin mRNA, expanding the scope of this fundamental regulatory mechanism.

Vaults. They are cell biology's greatest puzzle! This preprint from Martin Beck's lab shows them docked on ER membranes with a ribosome inside. What on earth is going on there??

The eukaryotic vault particle is a giant ribonucleoprotein complex that assembles into an iconic barrel-like cage. Its cellular function has remained elusive despite extensive characterization. Using ...
