Delighted to see this published! 🎉 Why do cells invest in such tight control of tubulin synthesis? @ac-almeida.bsky.social shows that even small increases in tubulin levels alter microtubule dynamics and disrupt multicellular architecture and viability. Bravo to the whole team 👏! 👉 rdcu.be/fu8ek

Tubulin autoregulation tunes microtubule dynamics to support multicellular architecture and viability
Nature Communications - Almeida AC et al. uncover the physiological role of a long-elusive feedback pathway that regulates tubulin biosynthesis. By tuning microtubule dynamics, this mechanism...

The Mitotic Spindle Meeting in Dubrovnik, organized by Iva Tolić @ivatolic.bsky.social and Nenad Pavin, has been a real festival of mitosis! Fantastic science and community. While the spectacle goes on for another day, I’m leaving inspired and energized. #SpindleSroatia2026

New preprint from the lab 🎉: γ-tubulin is a novel target of the tubulin autoregulation pathway! Previously thought to exclusively target α- and β-tubulin mRNAs, we show that the TTC5–SCAPER–CNOT11 axis also degrades γ-tubulin mRNA, expanding the scope of this fundamental regulatory mechanism.

Sad to miss this year’s ASCB meeting! But the lab is represented - don’t t miss @ac-almeida.bsky.social and her poster P0101. She will take you into the world of tubulin quantity control, microtubule dynamics, cell and tissue architecture.

Lab’s 2nd story aired today! Fantastic @ac-almeida.bsky.social cracks the cellular function of tubulin autoregulation - an over four decades old enigma! Read on to learn how she deployed human 3D cell culture models to link tubulin homeostasis to tissue organization & viability. Bravo Ana! 👏🏻🍾

Arresting mitosis with visible light! Brilliant Victoria von Glasenapp from the Gotta and Winssinger labs @UNIGE develops a cool photo-caged PLK1 inhibitor, which we deploy in 3D spheroids to control mitosis with exquisite spatio-temporal precision. Check out the original article: lnkd.in/eTnzy5Nc

Hello Bluesky community! What a better way to introduce myself and my research team than post our lab’s first paper freshly off press 🥳🍾 We reveal how tubulins regulate the stability of their mRNA via reversible sequestration of TTC5. Bravo A. Batiuk and all coauthors 👏🏻🥂 doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Soluble αβ-tubulins reversibly sequester TTC5 to regulate tubulin mRNA decay - Nature Communications
When tubulin proteins are present in excess, their encoding mRNAs are selectively degraded in a process initiated by the protein TTC5. Here, the authors show that tubulins themselves reversibly seques...
