- Reposted by Jemima BurdenLove this story from @andreamurillo.bsky.social. It was fun to think back to when @em-stp.bsky.social & @jemimaburden.bsky.social taught me EM and I got to play with gold*, sapphire^ and diamond**! I was so excited to get our paper published in JCS, & now I have the pleasure to be part of the team.

- Only #CLEM allowed us to explain the mechanism of #CXCR4 transfer from the cell membrane into the nucleus and map its localization within (i.e. led us to the "discovery" (for ourselves) of the #nucleoplasmic reticulum). Thank you so much for this collaboration, Jemima. We are forever in your debt!
