Postdoc to study microtubule regulation (Conduit Lab)

The Conduit lab studies how microtubule nucleation is regulated in a cell-specific manner to allow different cells to form their specialised microtubule arrays. Regulation of γ-TuRC activation Microtubules are essential cell components linked to many human pathologies. They are nucleated by muti-protein gamma-tubulin ring complexes (γ-TuRCs), which are themselves potential targets for cancer therapy. Microtubule nucleation needs to…

IJM Seminar – Matteo Rauzi – 07/04/2023

Invited by Nicolas Minc, Matteo Rauzi (Université Côte d’Azur, CNRS, Inserm, iBV, Nice, France) will give an IJM Seminar entitled: Composite morphogenesis: how can a tissue fold and extend at the same time During embryo development, epithelia can undergo different shape transformations. While these changes can be sequential, and thus driven by specific sequential cellular mechanisms,…

Minc Lab – Cell wall dynamics stabilize tip growth in a filamentous fungus

The Minc team has just published a new paper in  PLOS Biology Cell wall dynamics stabilize tip growth in a filamentous fungus   Abstract Hyphal tip growth allows filamentous fungi to colonize space, reproduce, or infect. It features remarkable morphogenetic plasticity including unusually fast elongation rates, tip turning, branching, or bulging. These shape changes are all driven from…
