1/5: New preprint: Cytokines control the physical state of immune tissue. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Unlike structured organs (heart, liver), immune tissue can shapeshift to form functional structures like germinal centers (GCs), tertiary lymphoid organs, granulomas, etc.

Cytokines control the physical state of immune tissue
Unlike most solid-like tissues, immune tissue is protean and reconfigurable—its component cells can patrol vast territories, find rare cellular partners, and dynamically self-organize into functional ...

I am super excited to share our article addressing a longstanding question in neurobiology: how Ca²⁺ signaling cascades initiated at dendritic spines operate at a distance. Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @cp-cell.bsky.social.

Excited to be at #CellBio2024! Today, I'll be presenting my work exploring how the actin binding proteins and E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate neuronal morphogenesis. I'll be at poster board 40 and giving a teaser talk at 10:45 in Room 33B. Come say hi, if you love neurons, cytoskeleton or ubiquitin!

2024 Cell Biology of the Neuron GRC was rated one of the best Gordon conferences by attendees. Next stop is Italy (2026) chaired by @rkuruvi1.bsky.social & Gipi Schiavo. @barrlab.bsky.social and I will chair one after that. Attendance capped further, so don't miss it!

I am so happy to see this finally published! Being able to manipulate Hortaea genetically has been a dream since I was a postdoc, and now it is a reality! This was possible thanks to the @mblscience.bsky.social Whitman Fellowship, which let me spend my summer studying this amazing yeast.
