Cytokinesis, my main research focus, may not the most fundamental septin function

"Cell-autonomous immunity and the endosymbiotic theory: Septins at the origin?” doi.org/10.32942/X2X... We explore how ancestral septins may have recognized foreign cells - linking endosymbiosis, organelle fission, and innate immunity.

The Onishi lab produced its first PhD. Congratulations Dr. Samed Delic! You can read some of his thesis work here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38994454/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41959007/

Now published! Short title could be: How to do genetics with dead things. A cross-species rescue by mating method to interrogate gene essentiality across the Saccharomyces genus doi.org/10.17912/mic...

How common is multicellularity in bacteria? And archaea? And how does it evolve? We wrote a short review "On the architecture and evolution of prokaryotic multicellularity". Preprint link: bit.ly/4ta06Gq Sharing and comments are much appreciated. 1/4

An overview of bacterial multicellular formations: biofilms, filaments, free-floating aggregates, motile collectives and fruiting bodies. For each form, we mention an analogous eukaryotic multicellular form (respectively animal epitelia, filaments in fungi, Volvox, Dictyostelium/social animals, Dictyostelium and other slime moulds)

PhD or Master's position available for Fall 2026! Interested in how actin drives cell crawling, eating, dividing, or osmoregulation? What about pathogenesis of a brain-eating amoeba? Or eukaryotic evolution? If so, apply through my website: katrinavelle.wixsite.com/science/cont... Please share!

”Please inhibit responsibly: Natural and synthetic actin toxins as useful tools in cell biology” I had a lot of fun going down different actin inhibitor rabbit holes with @onishilab.bsky.social on this perspective! www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/... www.molbiolcell.org/cms/10.1091/...

Septins underwent extensive diversification in the Opisthokonts, particularly fungi and animals where hetero-oligomer formation defines their mechanism, but this is distinct from Archaeplastida & Chromista. Amazing evolutionary story. Amazing evolutionary story. @mcmomany.bsky.social #SeptSRC
