Cell scientist to watch – Vaishnavi Ananthanarayanan
Vaishnavi Ananthanarayanan is an Assistant Professor at the Centre for BioSystems Science and Engineering and the Indian Institute of Science. She also recently became an EMBO Young Investigator and Wellcome Trust/DBT – India Alliance Intermediate Fellow. Her research is focused on understanding dynein activation in living cells and the roles of microtubules in mitochondrial dynamics during neurodegeneration. She talks about her research, the importance of good mentors and much more.
Anna Akhmanova and Michel O. Steinmetz provide an overview of the current knowledge on the structure, interactions and functions of cellular factors that specifically interact with microtubule minus ends, and that regulate their dynamics and organization.
Mole - Dignity I
“What can we do to make dignity and respect part of what we do? Let's talk about that.”
Journal of Cell Science (JCS), Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) and Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) announce a new manuscript transfer option that will empower authors whose manuscripts have been declined to seamlessly transfer their manuscripts and associated peer review reports between the journals.
Journal of Cell Science is pleased to welcome submissions for an upcoming special issue on 'Cell Biology of the Immune System' edited by Ana-Maria Lennon-Duménil. We invite you to showcase your breakthrough research on all aspects of cell biology as it relates to the immune system. The articles within this issue will receive extensive exposure to a broad audience of cell biologists and immunologists. Extended submission deadline: 15 August 2019.
preLights - Actin chromobody imaging reveals sub-organellar actin dynamics
Mariana De Niz highlights a preprint from Uri Manor and colleagues who use nanobody technology for live imaging of sub-organellar actin dynamics at previously unachieved temporal and spatial resolution, and explore its relevance for organelle fission.
Catch up with other recent preLights selected for the cell science community.
