The localisation of the mitotic spindle orientation protein, NuMA, is highly dynamic and sensitive to tissue stretch. Frogs are also great for live imaging 🐸 Check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our new preprint on bioRxiv. We show that NuMA localisation is sensitive to tissue stretch and acts to fine-tune division orientation. Mitotic spindle orientation and dynamics are fine-tuned by anisotropic tissue stretch via NuMA localisation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Baby you’re a fiiiiirework!!! Explanted Xenopus neural crest cell, microtubules (green) and actin (magenta). Imaging in frogs rocks- this is done room temp, no incubation, no problem. 🐸🔬✨ By Micaela Lasser, Helen Willsey @goodfrognosis Lab @zeiss_micro LSM980 fast airyscan

We are thrilled to announce that our @wellcometrust application to establish a Discovery Research Platform for Cell-Matrix Biology @OfficialUoM was successful! 🎉 Here’s what to expect #cellmatrixbiology 👇 (thread)

Discovery research has near limitless potential, but researchers can be faced with barriers too substantial to overcome alone. To address this, we are directing £73 million into eight new Discovery Research Platforms. Learn more ⤵️ wellc.me/416bBjJ

Thanks @YanlanMao for setting up this petition. Age limits on fellowships/grants are stifling and can prevent the best research being funded. Remove academic age limits on ERC grants - Sign the Petition! chng.it/9SLy7pNf via @UKChange

@cshlxeno I really enjoyed seeing you all, albeit remotely. Loved all the questions. Just wish I could have been there in-person but covid had other ideas.
