The next Cytoskeleton meeting will take place on Wednesday 19th of April at the Institut Curie (Amphithéâtre C.Burg).
Three speakers will be there:
Sandra Carvalho (PhD student, Guichet lab, IJM) will tell us about: "Function and dynamics of Actin cytoskeleton in 3D cell intercalation during development"
Nathalie Delgehyr (Researcher, Nathalie Spassky lab, IBENS) will talk about: "Actin-based deformations of the cell nucleus trigger neural stem cell…
Invited by Eva-Maria Geigl and Thierry Grange, Diyendo Massilani will give and IJM Seminar on Tuesday, April 18th on the theme :
"Genomic analysis of a 34,000-year-old human individual from Mongolia"
We investigate the evolutionary history of modern and extinct human populations using ancient DNA. Our focus is to retrieve and sequence DNA from archaeological materials…
The Camadro team has just published in Journal of Proteome Research a new paper (in collaboration with ProteoSeine, Dumont Lab and Ladoux/Mège Lab):
Extending the Range of SLIM-Labeling Applications: From Human Cell Lines in Culture to Caenorhabditis elegans Whole-Organism Labeling
Abstract
The simple light isotope metabolic-labeling technique relies on the in vivo biosynthesis of amino acids from U-[12C]-labeled molecules…
The Minc team has just published a new paper in PNAS:
Size- and position-dependent cytoplasm viscoelasticity through hydrodynamic interactions with the cell surface
Abstract
Many studies of cytoplasm rheology have focused on small components in the submicrometer scale. However, the cytoplasm also baths large organelles like nuclei, microtubule asters, or spindles that often take significant portions of…
The Dumont team has just published a new paper in eLife:
Synergistic stabilization of microtubules by BUB-1, HCP-1 and CLS-2 controls microtubule pausing and meiotic spindle assembly
Abstract
During cell division, chromosome segregation is orchestrated by a microtubule-based spindle. Interaction between spindle microtubules and kinetochores is central to the bi-orientation of chromosomes. Initially dynamic to allow…
L'équipe Romet-Lemonne/Jégou has just published a new article in Biophysical Journal :
(ABSTRACT VOLUME 122, ISSUE 3, SUPPLEMENT 1, 166A-167A, FEBRUARY 10, 2023)
The Arp2/3 complex contributes to the regeneration of branched actin filament networks
Actin filaments are one of the indispensable components of almost all cell types. These semi-flexible filaments constitute an important part of the…

Invited by Cathy Jackson, Joel Dacks (Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada) will give a seminar entitled:
Unsuspected components and ancient origins of the eukaryotic membrane-trafficking system
Biography
I am currently an Honorary Professor in the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, linked with the Centre for Life’s Origins and…
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…
