Basement membrane turnover controls cell shape

Basement membranes are scaffolds of proteins, like collagen, that give organs shape. During development, basement membranes must adapt to the growing organ. We infer how fast the basement membrane ada...

My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate. www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

A membrane proximal actin probe (MPAct) in fly macrophages unveils an actin cortex interconnected with the lamellar network. The homeostatic balance of these two actin networks is coordinated by the cortical-regulator, Moesin. Amazing work from @besaizsanchez.bsky.social and team. rdcu.be/d8Yxr

For anyone interested in #extracellularmatrix. From fundamental questions in #DevBio to alterations in disease using interdisciplinary approaches across model organisms. And in an amazing research environment in Manchester (with some occasional fun in London 😀)!
