🚨 New preprint!
Using U-ExM + in situ cryo-ET, we show how C2CD3 builds an in-to-out radial architecture connecting the distal centriole lumen to its appendages. Great collab with @cellarchlab.com @chgenoud.bsky.social @stearnslab.bsky.social 🙌. #TeamTomo #UExM

It's #WorldOceanDay – this year’s theme is: ‘Wonder: sustain what sustains us’. One key force sustaining ocean life is microbes. With @embl.org TREC we explored this hidden universe along Europe's coasts, across water, sediment and soil to see how microbial life connects across ecosystems and biomes

During #mitosis, before assembling the mitotic spindle, the early mouse embryo lacking #centrosomes uses #actin rather than #microtubules for chromosome congression 👀👇🏼

I’m excited to announce that my paper describing non-canonical mitotic mechanisms in the early mouse embryo is out in @science.org ! (link at end of 🧵)

New online: Mesoscale regulation of microtubule-organizing centers by the E3 ligase TRIM37

Mesoscale regulation of microtubule-organizing centers by the E3 ligase TRIM37

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 25 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41594-025-01540-6Here Yeow et al. present a model in which TRIM37 regulates microtubule-organizing centers through substrate-templated activation, providing a unifying mechanism for the control of mesoscale assemblies by the TRIM family of E3 ligases.

Unlike eggs & mitotic cells, in adherent interphasic cells the centrosome is NOT positioned by a balance of forces along #microtubules, but by cell shape organization around the #centrosome: rupress.org/jcb/article/...
