SEPTIN9 locally activates the RhoGEF ARHGEF18 to promote early stages of mitochondrial fission, say Rachel Shannon, William Trimble and colleagues @sickkidsto.bsky.social @utoronto.ca: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

All for this would not be possible without the funding agencies that keep supporting me: #SuomenKulttuurirahasto #SKR @inflames-flagship.bsky.social @utu.fi #TurunYliopistosäätiö #ScandinavianSocietyofImmunology #SSI @efis-immunology.bsky.social @eurjimmunol.bsky.social

I also got to attend the #IUIS25
@iuis-online.bsky.social
conference, where I presented my work as a poster. I really like these immunology conferences in the context that we can see what is out there. It was both overwhelming and exciting, and gave me some ideas on what to do next. 👀

It was so inspiring to meet the people behind most septin papers, and it made me even more excited to keep digging into this topic. A big cheers to an amazing conference and such a hosting and friendly community, definitely willl not be the last! (cont)

Busy, busy summer. I had the amazing opportunity to attend the #SeptinSRC in beautiful Niagara Falls and give a short talk on the potential role of septins in B cells and antibody responses. It honestly felt a bit surreal as for the first time I I was the one who knew the least in the room 😁 (cont)

Excited to share our new research on lymph node stromal cell responses to vaccines! Research performed in @salmilab.bsky.social with excellent collaborators.

not a joke:
Could someone please send me by DM the PDF of my paper which is behind paywall and I don't have access to it...

Thanks !

Microtubule-driven cell shape changes and actomyosin flow synergize to position the centrosome

Schaeffer et al. show that the centrosomal array of microtubules is positioned by the contraction of the actomyosin network and the reorganization of cell

The amount of elisa plates matches my expectations for my data. It also happens to match the failures 😬 a picture incoming before going on holidays. #itiswhatitis

US is going completely bonkers. Actually a bit spooked with all that is going on. + researchers getting detained at the borders is another huge red flag and others deported/losing funding. Wild, wild west.

really sad to hear :( stay strong

Tired: work alone in your project.
Wired: Slowly convince everyone in the lab to work on your project and help you "finish"

10/10 reccomend 😆

A bittersweet moment for @sarahdezperez.bsky.social that in the end, we could make the most out of it! And of course, our awesome leader @mattilalab.bsky.social.
A big thanks to all our funders and specially @inflames-flagship.bsky.social ad Finnish Cultural Foundation for their continuous support.

A great start of the year for Mattila's lab! 🤗 In our report, we delve into CD19-Cre mouse model enhanced antibody responses (one of the most commonly used Cre-lox systems for generation of B cell conditional KOs).
