Don't miss this fantastic conference that brings together different scientific communities to celebrate the 100th anniversary of @Co_Biologists! It will include the annual @Official_BSCB @_BSDB_ meeting so an absolute must 🤩 Can't wait!

Check out our new preprint on bioRxiv. We show that NuMA localisation is sensitive to tissue stretch and acts to fine-tune division orientation. Mitotic spindle orientation and dynamics are fine-tuned by anisotropic tissue stretch via NuMA localisation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

PI3K dependent rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton following the addition of Class I PAK kinase-inhibitor. Please read about it in our pre-print!

Check out our new preprint where we show that cell shape noise facilitates shape transitions! It was a heroic project led by @WolframPonisch (theory) and @IskraYanakieva (experiments) and a great collaboration with @GSalbreux Summary in Wolfram’s thread biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are super excited to present our new @biorxiv preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… The Waddington landscape is a classic metaphor in gene expression studies, but is there a similar landscape for cell shape? And can it help us to understand cell shape change? (1/8)

We describe the generation of a precision virotherapy that can selectively infect and deliver "suicide genes" to Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma via αvβ6 integrin, a tumour-selective marker.

@IvaskaLab THE review on 'everything' you have ever wanted to know about integrins in cancer, invasion and migration. Many cool new concepts highlighted from the beautiful research from experts in the field 👇@MeganChastney #VMLeppänen #JasminKaivola rdcu.be/dVB6n


Congratulations Marianne! It was a pleasure to be examiner for such an interesting thesis.

I’m very happy to share that I passed my PhD viva at King's College London last week! 🎉

V interesting new work on the regulation of cell migration (via rear contraction) by Cdk1-cyclin complexes throughout the cell cycle

First paper as a PI now available on bioRxiv, an excellent collaboration with @DrMCJones33, @integrintraffic, Mike Jones (@MCJoneslab ): Differential roles of cyclin-CDK1 complexes in cell migration and invasion biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



And finishing the day with a great talk from our postdoc @VicHart33 at @Official_BSCB NECB @MCB_Sheffield 👏

Great to be back at the NECB for another year. Such a great cell biology community

Today we are hosting the 20th North of England Cell Biology (NECB) forum @UniOfYork Thanks to @Official_BSCB and @BiochemSoc for the generous sponsorship! Lots of great talks lined up followed by drinks and food with our local sponsor @brewyorkbeer 🧬 🧫🧪 🍻
