📢 Are you interested in laminopathies, desminopathies, Alexander disease, etc. Then join us in Spain (June 15-21, 2024), where we will share and discuss the latest on intermediate filament research in a beautiful setting. Apply now: GRC: tinyurl.com/43jms2t5 Connecting Intermediate Filaments Seminars



Huge study from the McCarthy lab led by great PhD students Taylor, Benjamin and Jensen! UKY Center for Muscle Biology


How do cells squeeze their large nucleus through tight spaces? In work now published at J Cell Science, we show that cancer cells can use contraction of the rear cortex to generate pressure in the back and push the nucleus during confined #migration: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article-ab…

Great opportunity in an amazing lab and excellent research environment at the Weill Institute for Cell & Molecular Biology !





A 5+ year odyssey with Ferdinand von Walden “The 24-hour molecular landscape after exercise in humans reveals MYC is sufficient for muscle growth” in EMBO Reports embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… Congrats to 1st authors! Sebastian Edman Ronald Jones Database: data.myoanalytics.com #myotwitter

We have an exciting opening for a postdoc in our lab King's BHF Centre Hoping to appoint someone within the next few weeks. Link to advert here: my.corehr.com/pls/coreportal… Pls RT!


On Wednesday January 29th, on the Connecting Intermediate Filaments Seminars seminar , Dr. Shenhav Shemer (Technion Israel Institute of Technology) will talk about “Unraveling Desmin Dynamics: Mechanisms of Intermediate Filament Loss in Muscle Atrophy”. Tune in at 10:00am EST/16.00CET!


🚨 We’re hiring in Dr William Roman's Group. The Roman group study how cells communicate to keep organs healthy – and how this goes wrong in disease & ageing. Work with iPSCs, biomaterials, organ-on-chip & spatial transcriptomics to advance muscle biology & regenerative medicine.
