Issue 22 is complete Explore our ToC: journals.biologists.com/jcs/issue/138/… Our cover image shows Cyri-b-knockout cells with actin-driven lamellipodia in blue and microtubules in orange. See article by @jamiewhitelaw5, et al. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

Interesting in studying Biomedical Science? Why not come to our Open Day this Saturday at the Lanarkshire Campus to learn about Biomedical Science @UniWestScotland...see the labs, meet staff, tour the campus. Sign up now!

I am delighted to share my last work, now published in Current biology (@CurrentBiology )! If you are interested in digging deeper in the activity of the WAVE Regulatory Complex (WRC) during the formation of actin protrusions, have a look here. cell.com/current-biolog…

We are excited to launch our new JCS-FocalPlane Microscopy Training Grants. Early-career researchers in cell biology can apply for grants of up to £1,000 to support their attendance at microscopy courses. focalplane.biologists.com/2024/05/01/jcs…

Tech post available in my new group at UCL, with a very broad range of interesting work to do. Microscopes, microfluidics, computer modelling, molecular genetics... Come and join us! ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

A dream became true - the life cycle of #Dictyostelium captured in one single movie. Thanks to @BairBeatson and @NikonInst, in particular Kathy for making it possible to acquire this movie during the AXR demo at the Beatson #MidweekMovie #NikonHealthcareUK

An exciting opportunity to study the relationship of environmental organic pollutants with Antimicrobial resistance with PhD studentship #AMR work #biology #chemistry #geochemistry with @YalinuPoyaGow @knappcharles @FionaHenriquez findaphd.com/phds/project/i…… please share. Thanks!

We have a fully funded PhD studentship to study host-pathogen interactions at UWS with @SDW24, myself and @FionaHenriquez, looking at new in vitro organoid systems to study T. gondii infections.

@Fawziye3 Congratulations!!

Phd in Molecular and Cellular Biology 🥳🥳🥳 I am delighted to announce that I have successfully defended my thesis today and passed my viva with minor corrections. Officially Dr. Tarhini🥳🥳🥳

@LFort8 @Dev_journal @LabMacara Congratulations mate!

Thanks so much to @Dev_journal and the selecting committee for shortlisting my application for this new and exciting program. Congratulations to all the other fellows - I am excited to build new connections with you all. Thanks to @LabMacara for their support.

Delighted to start recruiting postdoctoral RA positions for my new CRUK Programme!! Please reach out if you are interested! #postdocposition @CamBiochem

@sii_imaging @robinsall Amazing news, well done!

A new year and a new me. Happy to say that I have been promoted to Cellular Analysis lead - meaning that our facility is now a College imaging facility 🔬🔬🔬

@FFercoq @Fr_BioImaging @LmolinaCmp @UMR_BOREA @MNHN_recherche Wonderful image!

I'm glad to be on the podium of the @Fr_BioImaging Image Contest 2022 ! Thanks to @LmolinaCmp @UMR_BOREA for providing the sample ! Watch the other entries, there are lots of cool stuff :) @MNHN_recherche

The winner of the Video competition sponsored by @VisiTech_UK was Simona Buracco with her video Dancing in the Dark! Congratulations @direwolf88t!

The winner of the Christmas Cracker competition sponsored by @focalplane_jcs was Jamie Whitelaw from UWS! Congratulations @JamieWhitelaw5 for his image Cells Actin Like an Xmas Tree.

@DoroteaArt @focalplane_jcs These are B16-F1 cells that have had NckAP1 knocked out.

@JamieWhitelaw5 @focalplane_jcs What type of cancer cells are these?

Thank you to the judges for selecting my image of invading cancer cells as their winning image at the Scottish microscopy meeting 2021. Looking forward to seeing it on the front page of @focalplane_jcs in December.

@helen_lawce @drjenmitchel @focalplane_jcs Hi Helena, yes it is DAPI staining.

@JamieWhitelaw5 @drjenmitchel @focalplane_jcs And the nuclear stain in gold? Is it a DNA probe?
