The Trojan Horse is real, and it’s microscopic! 🐴🦠
Our paper is out today in @cellcellpress.bsky.social!
We discovered that deltaviruses physically hide INSIDE helper viruses to sneak into new cells. And to prove it, we had to image them from every angle. 🧵👇

Interesting review from the Notani lab on the different functions and regulatory architectures of transcriptional hubs- including #actin; doi.org/10.1016/j.gd...
Finding one mutation that improves a protein is hard. Finding five that work together is exponentially harder.
Today in @science.org, Hsu and Konermann labs present MULTI-evolve, a lab-in-the-loop framework that does it in just one machine learning-guided round.
When geometry isn’t enough, actin helps plant cells decide where to divide, ensuring robust tissue patterning. 🌱 #PlantBiology
Goldy & team uncover a central role for F-actin as a cortical landmark.

We have an exciting 3-year postdoc position available to study how Salmonella remodels host membrane dynamics.
If you have a background in cell biology and are interested in working on an infection project this could be for you!
Application deadline - 24th February.

Cdc42 accumulates in aged cells, and reducing its levels extends life span.Two representative WT cells expressing Cdc42-mCherrySW are shown at selected ages and time points (hr: min) from initial loading. White arrowheads indicate cells during or shortly after cytokinesis, when Cdc42 levels are quantified. Black and red arrowheads denote the same cells at other cell cycle stages and cell death, respectively. Scale bar: 3 µm.
Cdc42 is a small GTPase crucial for #CellPolarity, but how does it contribute to #aging when upregulated? This study shows that the ER-anchored chaperone Ydj1 interacts with Cdc42, enhancing its stability & partitioning during asymm #CellDivision & aging in yeast @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4qz7WaM
