UNC Cytoskeleton Club

The Cytoskeleton Club brings researchers across the UNC campus together for informal talks once a month.

[UNC Cytoskeleton Club @CytoskeletonUNC]

We are so excited to have SO many great talks and posters at #cellbio2023 this year! Our Cytoskeleton Club members & friends are utilizing a wide variety of techniques to study an even wider breadth of scientific topics! Check here for talk and poster info:

We are honored to host Andrew Carter PhD #HookeMedal @Carter_Lab @MRC_LMB on
Wed. Feb. 22 at 10:30 - 11:30AM
“Cargo transport by dynein/dynactin”

Happy to share our latest review on spectrins and spectrinopathies of the nervous system, online on @NatRevNeurosci https://t.co/ETsK7r7R0i. This was a fun collaboration with stellar graduate students Stacey Slavutsky @StaceySlavutsky @CAMBUpenn and Reggie Edwards (twitterless).

From former Pdoc DBCortes: implementing in vivo [p] affects ring closure in Cytosim sims. 🎉🎉🎉 w/ @paul_s_maddox @MizarImaging Tilt & the incomparable FJNedelec. Now u can tune [p] & have resistive forces too! Love it? Apply to work w Daniel @VT_Biology

Exciting things coming up @UNC_Biology! We’ll be hosting a @zeiss_micro lattice light sheet demo for 6 weeks! #microscopy #bioimaging

[Kevin Cannon @kevcannon520]

Tropic morning news: We combined experiments and math and simulations to try to learn about how septins sense membrane curvature.

Amazing! (And of course, the microtubule is our favorite)!

Today the lab made all my dreams come true by dressing up as multispectral #organelles! Individual photos in the thread below:

Wonderful time with our friends at the Triangle Cytoskeletal Meeting yesterday!

Want to continue the cytoskeletal spirit all year long? Be sure to join our listserv to stay updated on our meetings!

[Cytoskeleton Meeting @TriCytoskeleton]

Thank you to everyone who attended (and/or followed along on Twitter 😉) the 2022 TCM!! We heard some amazing talks and had lots of beautiful posters. Can't believe its already over, can't wait to see y'all next year for the 10th annual mtg! 🎊

[UNC Cytoskeleton Club @CytoskeletonUNC]

Interested in sharing your research and getting feedback from the UNC cytoskeleton community? Sign up to present at one of our monthly meetings!

@UNC_CBP @UNC_BCBP @UNC_Biology

[Cytoskeleton Meeting @TriCytoskeleton]

One more week to submit your abstracts to the 2022 Triangle Cytoskeleton Meeting! We can't wait to see all the amazing science you've been working on 😁👩‍🔬🥼

[UNC Cytoskeleton Club @CytoskeletonUNC]

So excited to see all our friends over at the Triangle Cytoskeleton Meeting in September!

[Cytoskeleton Meeting @TriCytoskeleton]

Registration for the 2022 TCM is OPEN, register by Aug 8th! Abstracts are also due on August 8th and the form for abstract submission can be found within registration, though abstract submission is not required to register! Register here: https://t.co/ESMYBBHA4B

Interested in how single cells probe the stiffness of their environment?
New work from @Coronin Lab presents a robust system to explore molecular mechanisms underlying durotaxis, a stiffness-directed mode of migration.

[Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol]

Zayna King @LucianScientist, Jim Bear @Coronin et al @UNC_CBP demonstrate that a new conditional knockout cell line for coronins clarifies important functional details about its role in regulating ADF/cofilin function. https://t.co/LyW51xzKlZ

This year we want YOUR beautiful cytoskeleton microscopy images or videos to be used on our meeting flyer! We will be accepting submissions until the end of July. Please email your images and/or videos to [email protected]. Spread the word Cytoskeletors!

[Cytoskeleton Meeting @TriCytoskeleton]

Mark your calendars, Cytoskeletors ... The 2022 Triangle Cytoskeleton Meeting will be held in person at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences on Monday, September 19th! We hope to see you there - info on registration coming soon!

Thrilled to share we are once again funded by both @NSF & @NIGMS.
Recruiting passionate, quantitative, team-player biologists & math modelers to study dynamics of and force generation by the #cytoskeleton in #celldivision #oogenesis & #apoptosis!

[Amy Shaub Maddox @AmyShaubMaddox]

Congrats Dr @CA_Desco !! What a wonderful afternoon.
