Henry De Belly's elegant work on front-rear coupling during cell migration is out in bioRxiv! Being a part of this work has been a blast. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Long range mutual activation establishes Rho and Rac polarity during cell migration

In migrating cells, the GTPase Rac organizes a protrusive front, whereas Rho organizes a contractile back. How these GTPases are appropriately positioned at the opposite poles of a migrating cell is...

You know you’re in for a disappointing wine tasting when they give you Girl Scout cookies to cleanse your palate.

A short thread about Adam Dowdell's excellent chemotaxis paper, just out in @CurrentBiology. It shows how combinations of ligands for the same receptors cause fascinating & counterintuitive outcomes (1/n) cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Competition between chemoattractants causes unexpected complexity and can explain negative chemot...

Competition between different ligands for the same receptor type can explain how cells can drive negative chemotaxis in which cells migrate away from a chemical repellent. Dowdell et al. show that...
