New preprint:
Phagocytic podosomes enable efficient uptake of Candida auris by primary human macrophages 🦠👄

LinderLab @linderlab.bsky.social · Sep 4

You´re welcome. Podosomes show oscillatory growth (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31836688/) and thus repeatedly dip into the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Our paper on podosome regulation by myosins 1e/f is now online.
We introduce the concept of the podosome base, a region of plasma membrane-associated components 🔬
Cool collaboration with @renaudpoincloux.bsky.social‬ and Krendel labs

This is why we love #cellmigration

#Leukocytes: #Neutrophils (cyan) #Macrophages (orange) chemotaxis.

I couldn't share it before the retirement of @zebrafishrock.bsky.social, but cool #microscopy in #zebrafish continue to rock !

Our preprint on podosome regulation by unconventional myosins in now on BioRxiv. Great collaboration with the @renaudpoincloux.bsky.social and Krendel labs.
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We introduce the concept of the "podosome base", a region of plasma membrane-associated podosome components.

Myo1e (green) shows a more ventral localization than the F-actin core (red) of podosomes. XZ side view of two podosomes.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Title:
SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING

ACTIVE VOICE
e.g.
Our team collected samples and then we tested them.

CLICKBAIT VOICE
e.g.
We collected some samples...
You won't believe what happened next!

PASSIVE VOICE
e.g.
Samples were collected and tested.

HAIKU VOICE
e.g.
Quiet science lab.
Workers arrive with samples.
The testing begins.

PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE
e.g. We did all the collecting and testing.
No need to thank us.
Just doing our job.

CONSPIRACY VOICE
e.g.
Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

Interesting preprint from the Windhorst, Marlovits and Linder (@linderlab.bsky.social) groups: They investigate the spectrum of actin binding motives that may exist in many proteins.

Discovery of a new evolutionarily conserved short linear F-actin binding motif

Regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by actin binding proteins (ABPs) is essential for cellular homeostasis, and the mode of actin binding determines the activity of ABPs. Here, we discovered a novel ...
