Post-doc position alert! My lab Institut Pasteur, since 1887 is hiring post-docs for different projects related to #TNT research in #neurodevelopment, #neurodegeneration, and #fundamental cell biology. If you are looking for one, or know someone, feel free to contact me. Spread the word!

Pleased to share our "at a glance" on diverse actin-based protrusions. Fantastic review by Belian Sevan and Olga Korenkova from the lab.

New work from the lab now out in The EMBO Journal. We now provide a mechanistic understanding of how TNTs are formed (with more to reveal in the future!) TNT formation is driven by Eps8/IRSp53‐dependent linear actin polymerization | The EMBO Journal embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

New story from the lab. With Ranabir Chakraborty and Philippa from Trinity College, who was with us last summer, we asked why alpha-Synuclein aggregates are transferred via TNTs in a directional manner (from neuronal cells to microglia)?

🔜Next Cell Biology & Infection seminar next Monday Thomas Fath from MQ Dementia Research Centre Controlling the shape and activity of neurons through functionally diverse actin filaments Invited by Zurzolo Lab

Really excited to see this story out. We show the existence of functional TNTs during zebrafish development! Fantastic efforts by everyone involved, led by Olga and Shiyu from the lab

Captured live in zebrafish embryos, transfer of soluble factors & organelles cell to cell via tunnelling nanotubes 📹: Olga Korenkova & Shiyu Liu et al Zurzolo Lab @InstitutPasteur in Developmental Cell ➡️: bpod.org.uk/archive/2024/1…

New study from the lab where we find innate immune activation to play a critical role in forming TNTs and a-Syn aggregate spread from neuronal cells to microglia
