    • Movie 1 -

      Movie 1. CytoD. Treatment with Cytochalasin D and Latrunculin B on BAECs expressing spectrin-cpstFRET (Spec panel), spectrin-C-cpstFRET (Spec-C panel), free cpstFRET (cpstFRET panel) and cpCerulean and cpVenus 1:1 mixture (cpC+cpV panel). Each cell type was presented with FRET ratio image and YFP (Venus) channel image.

    • Movie 2 -

      Movie 2. Colchicine. Treatment with Colchicine on BAECs expressing spectrin-cpstFRET (Spec panel) and spectrin-C-cpstFRET (Spec-C panel). Each cell type was presented with FRET ratio image and YFP (Venus) channel image.

    • Movie 3 -

      Movie 3. Cell migration. BAECs expressing spectrin-cpstFRET (Spec panel), spectrin-C-cpstFRET (Spec-C panel) and free cpstFRET (cpstFRET panel). Video shows FRET ratio and YFP (Venus) channel for each cell type.

    • Movie 4 -

      Movie 4. Cell migration. BAEC expressing spectrin-cptFRET showed increasing stress in spectrin. We observed some cells gradually increased the stress in spectrin during the 6-hour recording period. The cell in this video first elongated the cell body then accelerated the migrating speed then moved laterally to the right. FRET ratio increased from 0.10 to 0.15, suggesting ∼50% more average stress in the spectrin network.

Despite the challenges of 2020, we were able to bring a number of long-term projects and new ventures to fruition. While we look forward to a new year, join us as we reflect on the triumphs of the last 12 months.


Mole – The Corona Files

"This is not going to go away, 'like a miracle.' We have to do magic. And I know we can."

Mole continues to offer his wise words to researchers on how to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic.


Cell scientist to watch – Christine Faulkner

In an interview, Christine Faulkner talks about where her interest in plant science began, how she found the transition between Australia and the UK, and shares her thoughts on virtual conferences.


Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

“The clear advantages are rapid and efficient exposure and easy access to my article around the world. I believe it is great to have this publishing option in fast-growing fields in biomedical research.”

Dr Jaceques Behmoaras (Imperial College London) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 60 institutions in 12 countries taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
