Flagellar length control in Chlamydomonas is a paradigm for organelle size regulation. In poster 155 at the CellBio2025 meeting Sunday Dec 7, Ximena Garcia Arceo uses Lithium, which increases intraflagellar transport, as a tool to probe how length-altering mutants work.

Hi, I’ve been working on an approach to use clustering to find bright areas on phagosomes. It’s been going decent, but I’d be interested to to hear if anyone else has done something similar with a bit more success. #microscopy

Hey #chemsky and beyond, with all that is going on, I am curious what expensive, high margin molecules we could provide to the community for free. What things do you use all the time, cost way too much, and would make a difference? Alexa Fluor 488 NHS? Other dyes? Other molecule?

Of these, 97 received funding from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) (with some also receiving funding from other institutes). 97/174 = 56% while NIGMS typically receives 7% of NIH budget. 3/n

Self-generated gradients guide collective cell movement -but often different cell types must move together, e.g. in immune response. We develop a theory of self-generated chemotaxis in mixed populations -are there optimal principles for this cooperation?🤔 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
