The edge of a cell: an active mechanosensing membrane

Yean Ming and Rob wrote a review on MT lattice switching. They discuss evidence that protofilament-level structural switching is ancient and fundamental and conserved; and that tubulation creates new allosteric interfaces that operate on essentially the same structural switch.

It was great fun attending #snapshot24 and catching up with @jadga @moenig @SnapCloud and #turtlestitch crew.

I shared From Pattern to Code resources, short videos to give ideas for patterns in @turtlestitch

Great Scott! The CMCB Flyers have fallen to 9th place with IBRLabLegends only 1.37 points behind them.

Their spirit is unbroken and the fight continues! #WarwickUni

Some of our early career researchers are presenting their work at the WMS PGR Symposium today in IBRB.

There's talks throughout the day in the "Mechanisms of Human Disease" and “Reproductive Biology" sessions.

Posters are in the atrium and talk in the main theatre.

Tri-Grid Challenge Term 3 2024 UPDATE

CMCB Flyers hold their 8th place and are currently on 201 points. Running Joke are still ahead of them in 7th place on 263. IBRLabLegends and IBRB LABRATS are in 9th and 10th place and pose a serious threat to the CMCB Flyers.

All to play for as we head into a thrilling 2nd week of competition!

Tri-Grid Challenge Term 3 2024 UPDATE

After 3 full days of competition, CMCB Flyers are languishing in 8th place on 81.31 points. Running Joke are in 7th with 155.56. WUCT are in 1st place with 315.57 points. The Flyers dreams of regaining the Tri-Grid crown are diminished, but their spirit is unbroken!

#WarwickUni

It's that time again:

Tri-Grid Challenge Term 3 2024

Our scientists are in several different teams but we'll be tracking the progress of CMCB Flyers mainly throughout the two weeks of the competitions.

We're at the halfway point in the #WarwickUni Tri-grid challenge. CMCB Flyers languish in 9th place while IBR Labrats (teams 1 and 2) are in 6th and 8th place overall respectively. Our old adversaries Running Joke blaze ahead in 4th place. All to play for as we head into the second furious week of competition!

Want to program a tree in @turtlestitch using #recursion?

Last year's tutorials used variables & repeat loops, but they aren't necessary.

Less than 24 hours to go in the #WarwickUni Tri Grid Challenge. CMCB flyers have consolidated their 5th place but wait - what is this? Disaster for IBR Labrats! Base prime alpha squadron surge have surged past with 494.29 points to Labrats’ 476.63. A nail biting and tense day ahead.

Good luck to all competitors!

There are less than 48 h for our running/swimming/cycling/walking scientists to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. A fierce battle has raged during the 2nd and final week of #WarwickUni Tri-Grid Challenge. Zeeman Demons in 4th have held off CMCB Flyers and IBR Labrats who are languishing in 5th and 6th place, respectively.
Can Individual 9th Team or bas prime alpha squadron leapfrog the Labrats in a last minute assault on the valour of Flyers’ 5th place? Gripping stuff!

@roylelab @steveroyle @Warwick_CMCB My lab-mate Lizzie and I, our colleagues from @seamus_holden’s and the McAinsh lab talked about our ideas on #mentorship schemes and how they could complement existing frameworks in our departments to support the mechanobiolgists of the future in their career growth #researchculture #warwickuni

@roylelab @steveroyle @Warwick_CMCB It would be so cool to implement the Virtual Reality tools developed by our CMCB colleagues from the Bretschneider lab for exploring imaging data - we could make a VR walkthrough of our “bag of molecular Skittles” to help with visualising the conclusions from lab’s recent Intracellular Nanovesicle proteomics data! #CellBiology #FutureTech #academicchatter #warwickuni

@roylelab had a great time at @Warwick_CMCB retreat today! Here’s @steveroyle talking about how fun it’s been to make sense of what’s inside the bag of molecular Skittles, which is an analogy we’ve been using lately to describe our favourite vesicles: the small and highly abundant INVs. How are they formed? What are their functions? Do they have a unique lipid composition? Still lots to explore! #CellBiology #MembraneTrafficking #academicchatter #warwickuni
