I had lots of fun fishing for vesicles during my PhD 🎣🔬 and I’m very happy to see the final version of this story out along with a wild cherry tree planted in the Forest of Biologists - a wonderful biodiversity-promoting initiative by @Co_Biologists! This story wouldn’t be here w/out @Moore_cell, Lizzie Courthold, Peyton Ewbank + other colleagues from @roylelab + @Warwick_CMCB who helped us along the way!

James and Selena's paper is out in JCB!
We present a structural model of the interaction between TACC3 and ch-TOG. Then we discover Affimers that can inhibit this interaction. Expression of the Affimers in cells uncovered a new role for TACC3-ch-TOG in maintaining the pericentriolar material during mitosis.

The edge of a cell: an active mechanosensing membrane
Yean Ming and Rob wrote a review on MT lattice switching. They discuss evidence that protofilament-level structural switching is ancient and fundamental and conserved; and that tubulation creates new allosteric interfaces that operate on essentially the same structural switch.
