Looks very useful indeed! Thank you for sharing!

Neat trick if you polycolonal ab's suck. Incubate them with fixed cells with a KO of your protein of interest, then spin. Protocol here: www.med.upenn.edu/markslab/ass...
I was amazed how well it worked on first try (I'm sure that I can completely eliminate unspecific bands)
#WesternBlot #cellsky
On the left - western blot of B16F10 cells wt and KO for CDK8. Our in house produced antibodies give a lot of unspecific bands. On the right same probes with antibodies preincubated with fixed CDK8 KO cells - there is a specific band and faint unspecific bands, which can be probably eliminated with increase of amount of KO cells.

Great read Sameer! Kahneman’s thinking fast and slow is the first book we recommend to our newly minted PhD students in the lab (System 1 vs 2 interpretation of the data) :))

It used to be a massive pain before every paper submission! xD

Identification of optimal fluorophores for use in the Drosophila embryo by Timothy E Saunders and team: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Figure 1: Fluorophore intensity in the Drosophila blastoderm (n.c. 14). Comparison of (A) green and (B) red fluorescence intensity using the same intensity scaling in n.c. 14. The fluorescence signal did
not saturate. Shown are single imaging planes. Normalised histograms of fluorescence intensity for green (C) and red (D) fluorophores averaged across at least n=3 embryos per line. Scale bars = 20 μm

Now out on bioRxiv. 🥳My research on #cytokinesis, averaging thousands of #ExM images🔬, creating a dynamic atlas of cytokinesis 🦠⏳. Here's an animated sneak peek of what we found. Better resolution on bioRxiv😄 #PSFoftheGIF

Are you excited?? Because I am!

25 years ago I was 10 and had just started secondary school yet our journal was already covering groundbreaking science, long before I'd even heard of molecular cell biology 🧐
Safe to say I'm fairly familiar with it now 🤭

Enjoy our issue!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Bluesky! We're celebrating ✨25th years of NRMCB✨ with our October Issue - out now!

It offers a glimpse into our journal's scope - cell death, enhancers, cell cycle, migration, transposable elements, membrane contact sites & AI!

This is absolutely a must read. We are in deep trouble and I am even less optimistic than the authors.

AI can now generate fake microscopy images that are nearly impossible to detect. A serious threat to scientific integrity—and we’re not prepared for it.

🧵Does the nucleus set the cell cycle clock? 🕒

In frog egg extract “mini-cells” we see that as nuclei grow, cycles slow down. The period scales with the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio, across Xenopus species, and even when DNA replication or transcription are blocked.

Exciting preprint on organelle mechanoadaptation from Stephanie Miserey and Felix Campelo @felixmendu.bsky.social! Extracellular forces modulate Golgi secretory output by tuning carrier biogenesis via microtubule acetylation, DAG, and PKD. Golgi is a mechanoregulator!

If you're finishing PhD soon and thinking of postdocs, see below!

Especially if you're keen on combining biochemistry, imaging and cell biology, we are onto some exciting findings on molecules and mechanisms underlying a cytoplasmic division cycle autonomously of CDKs!!
