Delighted to have joined @preLights and to have published my first post! I really enjoyed reading this #preprint on how #ER exit sites regulate the composition of P bodies. I’m excited to discover more about how cells regulate the composition of #biocondensates and how contact sites with them are established and maintained in the future. #ERES #contactsites #preLight #CellBiology #drosophila

The role of ER exit sites in maintaining P-body organization and transmitting ER stress response during Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis - preLights

Milano and team shed light on how P bodies are organised at ER exit sites and how ER stress can affect P body composition.

#mitochondria fans! You still have time to submit to our upcoming 'Cell Biology of Mitochondria' special issue.

There are many reasons to choose JCS: in addition to being respected and trusted by the community, it’s free to publish in the journal, we’re published by a not-for-profit publisher, and we plant a tree for every peer-reviewed article we publish!

Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to discuss a possible submission (and please spread the word)!

🧬 Well-equipped labs are key for biologists to continue their work. With a growing concern for climate change, there is also a call for more green practices within labs. What do you think will have the biggest impact in making our labs more sustainable?

Here's a question for #ImagingScientist #Microscopy folk and #ImageAnalysis people (but also #grammar if that's your thing).

I'm using #DAPI, #SYTOX or something else to label the DNA in cells. I want to segment them based on this.

Am I doing:
A) Nuclei Detection
B) Nucleus Detection
C) Nuclear Detection
D) Other (please comment!)

Please boost and tag any #Imaging folks you know. I need to settle a dispute.

Wishing it was #FluorescenceFriday already.

Great to hear that so many biologists are continuing to join biologists.social. See this nice update from @preLights

https://prelights.biologists.com/news/biorxiv-joins-our-mastodon-server-biologists-social/

I like it here. As a controlled experiment* I posted our most recent preprint on here and also on twitter. We got more 'empty' engagment (likes and retweets) on there, but all the meaningful engagement and discussion was on here.

*retrospectively branded as an experiment but actually just a shameful lapse in willpower

Any cell biologists out there in the #ScienceMastodon universe?

Highly recommend taking a look at this one day meeting in the UK in #Bristol - https://mellorlab.wordpress.com/actin-2023/

The #Actin meeting aims to "bring together the UK actin community for a day of informal talks and discussion."

There are short talks - mostly from #Postdocs and #PhD students, there's a poster session at lunch and prizes, too.

It's a friendly and inclusive conference and great for networking - check it out!
