Lots of fun working on this project! Looking forward to see more and more animations published in the future!
Today, our animation synthesizing decades of research on actin-mediated endocytosis in budding yeast was published:

Check out this new review (with animations, natch) of mechanisms of licensing origins of DNA replication - a wonderful (and continuing!) collaboration with Bruce Stillman @cshlnews.bsky.social and John Diffley @crick.ac.uk! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mature #HIV-1 contains >2000 copies of “spacer peptide 2”, but we didn’t know why. We now see that SP2 binds the matrix protein and triggers the change into its mature arrangement. Summary video from @margotriggi.bsky.social

The @briggsgroup.bsky.social alongside teams from @uniheidelberg.bsky.social and @yalemicropath.bsky.social uncover elusive role of #HIV-1 component SP2. Detailed 3D views of viruses by #cryoEM show how SP2 helps the virus matrix to mature.
