Thunderstorms yesterday caused massive power outages in St Louis. We were lucky as power was only out for four hours at the house.

We are recruiting postdocs! Interested in high-throughput biophysics? I'd love to talk to you! See rocklinlab.org/news/hiring-po…

Excited to share this just accepted paper by Mitchell Lab and his group on two modes of MCC (multi #cilia ted cell) extrusion in the #xenopus epidermis during developmental mucociliary epithelia remodeling. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/do… Thanks for letting me be a small part of it ❤️

Alexia Tasca This puts #xenopus at the forefront of novel research directions with health relevant implications in #cancer, #copd and #congenital diseases related to tissue remodeling and loss of cilia/MCC. 👏 Go 🐸👏 and congrats to Mitchell Lab for pioneering novel directions again!!!!

Call me old fashion but I wanted to wait until it was published published before hyping our new paper on bi-directional cell extrusion. Here it is. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

Embarrassing us desis once again

Nice added treat to have our image get the cover!

Great institution and supportive environment to take your academic career to new heights!! Apply!

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Ertugrul Ozbudak will join the Cell & Developmental Biology Department at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine! feinberg.northwestern.edu/sites/cdb/facu…

Great work from amazing postdoc Enzo Bresteau and a wonderful collaboration with Woolner Lab and Oliver Jensen. We show that apical size reduction by macropinocytosis can work to alleviate tissue crowding biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Chicago Cytoskeleton Meeting this Friday!!!

Looking forward to hosting Dr. Martin Wühr for the department's Experts-in-the-Field Seminar Series this October (10/16). All members of the Northwestern community are welcome to join us at the Simpson-Querrey Auditorium at noon. 🧪🧬🧑‍🔬 #sciencelectures

✨📢Congratulations to Dr. Enzo Bresteau Enzo Bresteau on winning the BEST TALK AWARD at the 2024 XRET meeting! 📢✨ Just the *perfect* amount of froggy drama 🐸🎭 Beautiful work, bravo! National Xenopus Resource Xenbase Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Mitchell Lab #XRET2024

Such a fun read. Wallingford weaves history and medicine with developmental biology to teach us about left right patterning. Very cool. nautil.us/the-anatomical…

Happy to share our recent paper on the role of AK7 on centriole number and the consequence of misregulation that leads to PCD. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Super excited that our paper is out. It describes a new mechanism for dealing with tissue crowding that does not involve cell extrusion. nature.com/articles/s4146…
