- If you are in Philly and #CellBio2025, and want to hear more on "Cross-species dissection of αII-spectrin function in neurons", stop by today at Board No. 235/P1361 during the poster session.
- Our paper is now part of the newest Cellular Neurobiology collection @jcb.org, check it out if you haven't yet. 🔬📖

- Reposted by Biljana ErmanoskaOur new preprint is up! This is the main postdoc work of @wiesner-t.bsky.social focusing on exocytosis along the axon shaft and its regulation by the sub membrane actin-spectrin scaffold: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Read the thread below for a summary of our findings 🧵1/11
- Reposted by Biljana Ermanoska📢📢Hiring 2 Research Assistants & 2 Postdocs at Emory University in Atlanta to study cytoskeletal biophysics/biochemistry. Please RT. RAs: great for recent bachelor's/master's in Physics/Bio/Chem/Biochem. Email CV and interests to shekhar@emory.edu. More info: www.shekharlab.org

- Honored that our work with @rodallab.bsky.social and Jonathan Beats has found its final home @jcb.org. We identify a presynaptic actin core at the Drosophila NMJ—a long-lived, NMII-dependent structure that may help synapses withstand mechanical stress. 🧵 1/5
- 2/5 This linear actin assembly is decorated with nonmuscle myosin II (NMII) and becomes disorganized when NMII is depleted or its activity disrupted—highlighting its reliance on NMII for structural integrity.
