This is great. Watch and share the heck out of it.

@BIOINTERACTIVE This is fantastic! Later this week we will start a module on CF and CFTR in my intro to molecular biology class and will make use of this. Thanks!

Explore how certain mutations cause cystic fibrosis with this animation, which shows how changes in transmembrane protein channels’ function can lead to a build up of mucus – and how small-molecule drugs can help to restore these channels’ function. bit.ly/CFvidBI

Yay @mdillonbio!! Hope grad school is off to a great start! We @RMCBiology are proud of you!!

Cryo-EM is a revolution in cell and molecular biology!

This is a crawling cancer cell as seen through the microscope. My lab is currently focusing on cell division and muscle contraction but our data keeps pointing to cell migration. Once obsessed with migration, always obsessed. #CellBiology

@MAG2ART Beautiful!

A myocardium sheet made from induced pluripotent stem cell. See the pulse?

Prasad Phatarpekar, Daniel Billadeau et al @MayoClinic reveal that septins regulate the exocytosis of lytic granules in NK cells by interacting with proteins involved in granule fusion with the plasma membrane bit.ly/3aU4i69 #septin #Cytoskeleton #Immunology

Ludo Van Den Bosch highlights recent work by Kalinski et al @UofSC and discusses the role of the ECM in blunting regeneration of damaged axons bit.ly/2YLuI2A Read the full paper at bit.ly/2YptQRa

@david_fundy That's cool!

@david_fundy Yes it is! Just takes practice and I bet their first few tries didn't turn out so well either. You'll get there if you want to! :)

@david_fundy Yep. It's actually pretty old, like from the 1960's or something.

Salk Institute has discovered a drug target for pancreatic cancer, something they're calling the cancer's Achilles heel. They've uncovered a signaling protein that allows tumor cells to develop an encasement, a micro-environment that makes them impervious - resistant - to chemo

This was published today in @Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… We are now in the beginning of a new era. That is no exaggeration.
