@elonmusk Once the bulb got 'two worm', and it was inevitable.

@marko_kaksonen @dudin_o Oh, I thought it was a caveman meeting...

Curious about the molecular mechanism of #actin elongation by #formins?
Then check out our latest work in @ScienceMagazine!

This was possible due to outstanding team effort. Big thanks to co-first author @WoutOosterheert, Bieling lab and @intein

Our latest work on the live-cell dynamics and functions of Tropomyosin isoforms in yeast is out now @biorxivpreprint .Huge thanks to @syncellbiolab and all my co-authors especially @Bagyashree8 for their efforts.Grateful to @India_Alliance @iiscbangalore for funding.

Do you ever wonder how ancient cellular processes such as endocytosis evolve and vary between species?

If you do, take a look at our new preprint by Andrea @g_trevize, Chris @CPToret and Anne-Sophie!

Buckle up for a LONG 🧵(sorry)

@tristamoeba @socialprotist Cool video, I notice there are a few scouts that pop out. Maybe the local front even advances faster after a scout occurs in this movie. One wonders if these scouts serve some purpose or communicate.

Interesting minireview about Fonticula alba by Alexander Tice and Matt Brown @socialprotist

[Christopher P. Toret @CPToret]

@Dichrome_Viot Marko and I have also been trying to find Fonticula in the wild for a year or two. If you're interested in comparing notes/ strategizing, PM or email me.

@christo71213435 @multicellgenome @marko_kaksonen @CurrentBiology This particular slime mold is a unique slime mold. It is most closely related to the fungal branch, but not a fungi.

[Christopher P. Toret @CPToret]

@hughzford @marko_kaksonen @robinsall @g_trevize @maikaboiero @AlpheeMichelot Yes, we consider this a possibility or some factor present in the bacteria lawn is depleted as Fonticula numbers increase creating a gradient.

[Christopher P. Toret @CPToret]

@myosinactncrazy It's in the pipeline, but no breakthroughs to report yet.

[Marko Kaksonen @marko_kaksonen]

@CPToret @g_trevize @maikaboiero @AlpheeMichelot Fonticula alba cells can team up to form collectives to explore and invade new food resources.

[Christopher P. Toret @CPToret]

@BhamlaLab @marko_kaksonen We don't. It's a single sorocarp placed on a bacteria lawn. It spreads radially in these conditions.

[Marko Kaksonen @marko_kaksonen]

We've been exploring different model organisms with Chris @CPToret. Here is a 6 day timelapse we took of the good old slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum! Stay tuned for more...

[Christopher P. Toret @CPToret]

Where are these cells going together in such a hurry? They're probably rushing off to see the cool Fonticula alba poster at the ASCB/EMBO #cellbio2020 meeting.
