Incredibly grateful to Schmidt Sciences! This would not have happened without the people in my lab, past and present, who drive our most creative work. This award will give us the freedom to explore new problems across disciplines. Excited to see where it takes us next!

What would it feel like to go with the flow inside a cell?
A lovely new Current Biology Dispatch by Dyche Mullins on work led by Cathy & Jim Galbraith "expands our cellular imagination" to the cell's own sluices, pumps & dams.

Membrane-associated polymerases deliver most of the actin subunits to a lamellipodial network biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #biorxiv_cellbio

Lovely analysis by @MullinsLab of a somehow underrated effect: Membrane tethering reduces molecular diffusion from 3D to 2D, which can accelerate local actin polymerization. Super important when contemplating 3D in vitro metrics in cellular context!

New study out on bioRxiv! We have studied how resources are shared between actin networks competing for a limited pool of components.

Visualizing moth wing scale development with @KyleDeMarr from @MullinsLab on @amsikking's AIRR snoutscope today! Using a 1.3 oil-immersion lens to image >100 um deep past the moth's cuticle. Absolutely gorgeous biology and microscopy.

Thrilled to announce the Lawrence Lab will open its doors within UCLA Biological Chemistry @BC_UCLA in January 2025! I couldn’t be more excited!
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Rosalie Lawrence @ScienceyRosalie will join our department as our newest faculty member in January 2025! Her innovative research will greatly enhance our academic community. We look forward to welcoming you to @dgsomucla @UCLA Rosalie!

Superstar inaugural Manor Lab postdoc Cara's new paper is up! Here we show ER-actin accumulates at ER-organelle contacts to regulate their fission and mobility. This applies to mitos, lysos, and endosomes, and is mediated by INF2, an ER-anchored formin. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

On my way to @MBLScience!
Happy to talk about methane-producing microbes during my participation in the 2024 BID workshop!
I'll be there all week!

#FluorescenceFriday #cellbiology #bioart A neutrophilic HL-60 cell exhibits both sheet- and rosette-like dynamic pseudopods as it migrates in 3D through a collagen mesh. Here, the cell center is marked in yellow, and each pseudopod is marked with an orange ball of size proportional to its volume. As seen by lattice light sheet microscopy.

thought provoking treatise by @MullinsLab. IIRC, he was discussing these issues during our 2010 @MBLScience Physiology course…

Why are ~10% of humans left-handed? (🙋♂️) Exome-wide association study of rare variants in UK Biobank identified alleles of the beta-tubulin gene TUBB4B. Could be related to cilia function, which has been linked to other left-right asymmetries. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Check out this stunning animation by @janetiwasa (in collaboration with @SamReckPeterson), showcasing our model of how various components come together to form active dynein complexes capable of transporting cellular cargo.
Our work on how the lysosomal adaptor JIP3, and regulator LIS1 activate the dynein motor protein is now out in @ScienceMagazine ! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Many thanks to our reviewers and editor for their valuable input.

New in JB: @A_CharlesOrszag @MullinsLab propose that it archaeal actins paved the way for multifunctional, eukaryote-like actin filaments.

Moved back to San Francisco to begin my postdoc in the @MullinsLab @UCSF! Looking forward to teasing apart insect scale cytoskeletons from evolutionary and now cell biological perspectives. California people —let's hang out!
