Is axonal transport at branch junctions RANDOM or DIRECTED? See answer in the exciting work by @SteveTym and Bridget Curran. Selective axonal transport through branch junctions is directed by growth cone signaling and mediated by KIF1/kinesin-3 motors cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Please come and see our poster by Sid and @SteveTym at #CellBio2025 on using light-induced artificial cargos to probe microtubule tracks in cells.

Please join us today at 5:30 pm in room 121 for the workshop #CellBio2025 on Use Optogenetic Tools to Interrogate Cellular Mechanisms

This is the most detailed model of a human cell to date, obtained using x-ray, NMR and cryoelectron microscopy datasets. ‘Cellular landscape cross-section through a eukaryotic cell.’ - by Evan Ingersoll and Gael McGill.

Our lab's paper led by @SamIngEsteves on HOW the clustered Protocadherins (cPcdhs) produce dendrite self-avoidance and complex neuronal morphologies was published today in @CurrentBiology: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jgpv3QW8S6F… @SickKidsNews @MoGen_Grad

What an exciting #cshlneurocon conference @CSHL! Also exciting to see the participation of @JeffersonUniv students and faculty, with a huge crowd for @drosophilosophy.

Great to have @stephgupton1 to start off our Neuroscience seminar series today. Beautiful talk on how axons grow, branch, and synapse.

@ThompsonPeerLab @eLife Thanx, Katie, and any comments will be appreciated.

@BranchingLab @eLife Beautiful, looking forward to reading it!

Bridget Curran’s thesis work is finally published as VOR in eLife. Great job, Bridget! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… @eLife

Bon Voyage! Another celebration on a summer day for @SteveTym and Bridget, who are embarking on their next career adventure. You will do AWESOME things!!!

Wonderful celebration @Puttshack to send Bridget Curran off to her new adventure.

Spinal cord injury researchers, mark your calendars! The CNS Injury & Repair GRC is coming to Tuscany, July 6-11, 2025. Explore cutting-edge spinal cord injury research. Registration is now open for this premier scientific event. Network with field leaders! #sciGRC2025

@Roy_Lab_Thinks @MFainzilber So true.

An important part of staying grounded in #academia is not to fall into the 'celebrity trap'. No one has any obligation to recognize anything you have done. Take joy in finding new things, and be happy someone pays you a salary for just doing that.

Researchers @JeffersonUniv now benefit from uncapped, APC-free #openaccess publishing in all our journals, plus unlimited access to the journals & their archives, thanks to new #ReadAndPublish #OA agreement. bit.ly/3rOQbsf

This is a landmark achievement that will open the door for many future investigations of the brain’s function, development and evolution. Congrats to everyone who has contributed to this monumental effort. Big thanks to the @NIH #studyBRAIN Initiative for supporting this project.

⁦Don’t miss @SteveTym⁩ poster (board B413) this afternoon about using optogenetic tools and artificial cargos to probe transport selectivity.

Great talk by @SteveTym on the opening day of #CellBio23 about using optogenetic tools to study axonal transport.
