Vinculin plays a fundamental role in cell adhesion. At adhesion sites, talin-activated vinculin promotes interactions with the actin network that initiates bundles elifesciences.org/articles/53990…

In starved yeast, proteins and lipids on the vacuole surface are actively partitioned, producing distinct and dynamic domains. Here, we can see examples of GFP-labelled Pho8 partitioning on the vacuole surface. More details here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are excited to share our manuscript on bioRxiv about a new optogenetic tool, OptoMYPT. The following is a representative movie showing the acceleration of cytokinesis by relaxation of cortical actomyosin tension. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

What an issue Journal of Cell Biology! Cell adhesion and metabolism, substrate stiffness and chromatin architecture, de novo centriole genesis, microtubule assembly by accretion, myosinV and polarity, mitotic round up in epithelia and time-resolved cilium proteomics🤩 rupress.org/jcb/issue/220/5

During cell division, two sets of chromosomes are separated; one set goes to each daughter cell. Unless intracellular forces are out of whack. Then one daughter can get both sets and the other nothing. The mother cell clearly had a favorite... #CellBiology cell.com/cell-reports/p…

😍Our Flipper-TR membrane tension probe was used in combination with TIRF-FLIM, showing a membrane tension gradient within micropatterned cells. Stunning images from Hugo Lachuer, Laurent LE , Sandrine LévêqueFort & Kristine Schauer Congrats to the team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Oi! New preprint by yours truly and Jody Rosenblatt, aka my boss. We found that the mechanically activated channel Piezo1 activates EGFR signalling. Please, have a look at it, share it, and let us know your thoughts. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
