🔬 From our March issue (rupress.org/jcb/issue/22...): Epithelial neural collectives undergoing #chemotaxis, stained for phospho-#myosin (magenta), #actin (cyan), and nuclei (yellow). From @jorgediazfuentes.bsky.social and @mayorlab.bsky.social: rupress.org/jcb/article/...
An outstanding PERSPECTIVE is now out from Tom Pollard in #CYTOSKELETON. Guidelines for Successful #Actin Polymerization Experiments. You'll find it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
ONLINE NOW!!! Check out this #openaccess #review #article in #CYTOSKELETON. #Mitochondria and the #Actin Cytoskeleton in #Neurodegeneration. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
In the meantime, the 2nd February issue is live:

The cover features work by Sudha Kumari @sudha-kumari.bsky.social and co-workers showing that #actin waves guide #antigen receptors at the #lymphocyte immunological #synapse.

Our March cover (rupress.org/jcb/issue/22...) is an immunofluorescence image of nurse cells in the #Drosophila ovary. #Actin cables (cyan) assembling at the nurse cell cortex co-align with acetylated #microtubules (magenta) as they grow toward the nuclei. See Chou et al. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Interesting review from the Notani lab on the different functions and regulatory architectures of transcriptional hubs- including #actin; doi.org/10.1016/j.gd...
At this high resolution, we also caught something new: Using the new #HAK-Actin #UExM probe, we saw that
#Actin accumulates at the furrow base before compartments fully seal ➡️ they're still open at the bottom.
➡️ The #multicellular epithelium-like stage is shorter than we previously proposed.
Open Postdoc position in our lab!

In @jcb.org, Naidoo, Tam, and Harris @uoftcellsysbiol.bsky.social show that, over the early #Drosophila embryo, a composite of actomyosin and plasma membrane folds conveys cortical tension, and regulation involves PM topography modulation by Arp2/3. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Schwarz lab @bostonchildrens.bsky.social identify a mechanism coupling mitochondrial movement to energy demand. When energy levels are low, the energy-sensing kinase AMPK phosphorylates the motor/adaptor protein TRAK1, arresting #mitochondria via the #actin #cytoskeleton. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

High-contrast fluorescence microscopy of a mouse fibroblast cell. The cell glows in neon cyberpunk colors. Cyan actin filaments form the outer shape, magenta microtubules fill the center, and an orange DNA nucleus sits in the middle.
Biology in Cyberpunk mode.
Who said nature needs to stick to earth tones? This NIH3T3 cell has adopted the full vaporwave palette.
Turning a lab workhorse into a neon light show.

New preprint:
We identify a dual regulatory role of nuclear FNBP4 in actin dynamics: the C-terminus binds actin, while the N-terminus inhibits the formin FMN1.

New research from Lee, Higgs et al. shows how #INF2, a key #actin regulator, is activated by calcium-calmodulin and free actin monomers. Actin-binding proteins like profilin and thymosin aren't just helpers - they directly tune INF2 activity. rupress.org/jcb/article/...
