nature.com/articles/s4146… Our paper on cargo adaptor regulation of kinesin and dynein motor proteins is now out at Nature communications. Work done by @aslannmerveee , John Canty and Andrew Hensley. Congratulations to the authors!!

Yildiz lab members are enjoying #BPS2023 ! Lots of great science and looking forward to the poster sessions on MT motors tomorrow!

Visiting graduate student Eui-Jin also has a poster on Wednesday.

Yildiz lab is heading to #BPS2023. Check out Merve's talk on Sunday the 19th, describing our recent paper on cargo adaptor regulation of motor proteins!

The gangs(mostly) all here! Hope everyone is enjoying BPS 2022. Make sure you come check out Amanda’s poster at tomorrows session (1:45) on nucleocapsid condensates and her talk about telomere LLPS at 5:30!!!

MORE NEW RESEARCH! Here's our latest report on the shelterin complex's compartmentalization of telomeres. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New Year, New Paper! Check out our latest collaborative work on the interactions between Kinesin-1 and MAP7. Also stay tuned for new work on shelterin next week! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #kinesin #MAPs #molecularmotors #biophysics #microtubules

Yildiz Lab holiday lunch. Wishing everyone a happy holidays!

A new paper from our lab. Covid-19 uses phase separation to package viral particles. Congratulations! @AmandaJack27 @ferro_luke journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Belated graduation celebration for our newly minted Dr. @ferro_luke and Dr. Yasin Ezber. Farewell! Don't be strangers! 🎓🎓

Lab bonding with axe throwing. Turns out the Yildiz lab would fair pretty well in the zombie apocalypse.

Journal Club: The concept of a dynamic MT lattice is heating up. Severing enzymes and motors, Oh My! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Thank you to lab member (past and present) for attending the first post-COVID Yildiz lab BBQ.

Great work further dissecting the domains of kinesin in human disease. Work started when the first author was "just" an undergrad! advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/18/e…

Meet our newly minted PhD candidate Jon Fernandes. Celebrations with bubbly and burritos.

Mega journal club! Two great TRF2 papers showing its power in stem cell pluripotency and the tubulin code showing unique regulation of dynein in flagella. nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/s4158… science.sciencemag.org/content/371/65…
