Actin (red) and focal adhesions (green) in an epithelial cell acquired back when microscopes did not have automatic focusing devices. That’s right kids. We could only image one cell at a time while correcting focus drift on the fly- uphill both ways. #CellBiology

Do you have white teenage sons?
Listen up.
I've been watching my boys' online behavior & noticed that social media and vloggers are actively laying groundwork in white teens to turn them into alt-right/white supremacists.
Here's how:

THE CELL’S POWERHOUSE
Mitochondria (yellow) make much of the chemical energy that fuels the life of a cell. They also move rapidly as seen in this cancer cell compared to the relatively slow moving nucleus (blue) and cellular adhesions (purple).

Let’s play a little game.
Let’s say that you’re the CSO at a cancer pharma company, and you have to choose a target to go after.
Here’s a gene – high expression is associated with poor prognosis in brain cancer. Looks like a good candidate for an inhibitor right?

New research from Dana L. Miller and colleagues @millerlab shows that fasting prevents hypoxia-induced defects of proteostasis in #Celegans: plos.io/2RF2cxj

PSA:
"Wild Type" the noun has no hyphen. E.g. We compared the mutants to the wild type. Here, wild = adjective, type = noun.
"Wild-type" the adjective has a hyphen. E.g. We compared the mutant cells to wild-type cells. Here, wild-type is a 1-word adj. used to modify the n. cells

Surprisingly, intron RNA sequences have a functional role in yeast cells. Samantha Edwards & Tracy Edwards @TheTracyLab explain what happens in this N&V go.nature.com/2HkdxBp

FULL OF ENERGY
Mitochondria (purple) create much of the chemical energy for the cell. And when compared to the slow moving nucleus (green), mitochondria seem hyperactive. Full of energy indeed.

I had the chance to be an observer last week at the @CIHR_IRSC Project Grant review. I wrote a thread with the top 10 things I learned that could increase chances to get a grant as an early career researcher. #solidarity #newPI #WomenInSTEM #grant #research

Really interesting study. "Our results demonstrate that even a single double-strand break can lead to ribosome remodeling and reduced translational output, and suggest caution in interpreting cellular phenotypes measured immediately after genome editing."
Cells have a p53-independent translational response to genome editing and DSBs in general. Short-term translational remodeling --> longer-term transcriptional response. Check out our latest #preprint, a great collaboration with the lab of @nickingolia. biorxiv.org/content/early/20…
