If you see the actin monomers falling off, it’s not a bad sign. It’s just actin disassembly. #PunIntended 🥁 P.S. here’s our logo, correspondence to Reena

cell.com/cell-reports/f… Our Cryo-EM structures of non-muscle actin.tropomyosin assemblies. Previously available in biorxiv, now also in Cell Reports

Postdoctoral position(s) available in Ivaska Lab ! Apply by end of April if you are interested to 1) explore stroma-cancer crosstalk in breast cancer invasion (see flyer) or 2) to explore RTK trafficking and therapeutic antibody efficacy with Klaus Elenius

🔬 New research from Lappalainen lab University of Helsinki in collaboration w/AIC at Janelia reveals 2 new nanoscale layers within focal adhesions -- structures that connect cells to their surroundings – that are critical for focal adhesion turnover. 🧵 (1/7) 🔗biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our visiting scientist (to-be, not just A-B #punintended) gave us such a wonderful presentation that we are not going to have a next one until Autumn begins. Hyvää Juhannusta! Happy Midsummer!

Recent work Min WU is now up on Cell Reports!

Cool stuffs. Phospholipids have always been overlooked.
