The mysteries of septins continue to unfold in this study examining mechanisms of septin polymerization and assembly biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We are excited to share our next installment of insights into how septins sense micron-scale curvature via detecting lipid packing biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Bye bye twitter 👋 hope to see everyone on BlueSky!! @gladfelterlab.bsky.social
Excited to share our recent work on the power of RNA to encode physical information and how this can be embedded in the genetic code biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Excited to share the latest work from postdocs @turiyaaa and Zack! We thought about how multinucleate cells are able to maintain N:C ratio, and found a condensate rheostat that regulates translation of cell cycle + growth mRNAs.
Condensates act as translation hubs to coordinate multinucleate cell growth biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_cellbio
Excited to share our first publication on the placenta in close collaboration with our colleagues in the Coyne Lab. This work led by @madkeenen reveals remarkable nuclear heterogeneity arising in a common cytoplasm of the syncytiotrophoblast cell. elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…
Team Placenta is excited to be in Montreal at #IFPA2024! Looking forward to @madkeenen's new investigator award lecture🤩 then her & @vfarm15 have posters in session two-check them out!

We are back! This year's TCM will be held on September 23rd. Our wonderful lineup of speakers includes keynote Kassandra Ori-McKenney (UC Davis), Ronit Freeman (UNC), and Shashank Shekhar (Emory Univ). @RFreeman_Lab @sshekhr
📣 Join us @ASCBiology @EMBO meeting in December on this session on Harnessing Cell Biology to Address Climate Resilience. Submit your Abstract by 5th Aug. With @GladfelterLab @SamReckPeterson @Dey_Gautam. Please RT
Very excited to share our first paper analyzing giant syncytial cells of the human placenta! This work would not be possible without our wonderful colleague Carolyn Coyne. Amazing work @madkeenen biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Submit your abstract to be part of this exciting subgroup!
I am super excited to announce that @madkeenen and I are co-organizing a special interest subgroup at this year's ASCB (in San Diego!) on all things multinucleate. Spread the word, and send in abstracts by August 6th! Reach out to us with any questions.
Registration for the 2024 TCM will open on July 22! We encourage all cytoskeleton enthusiasts to submit an abstract for talks and poster presentations. Registration fees and important dates are listed below. #cytoskeleton #ResearchTriangle #NCTriangle
Check out our latest pre-print by Grace Hamilton which explores the biochemical properties of a group 5 septin from the polyextremotolerant yeast Knufia petricola biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Thrilled to start this incredible adventure! #MBLPhysiology @MBLScience
So excited to be getting started in this year's Physiology Course @MBLscience #mblphysiology. Already an amazing start of our first year Directing the course with Amy @GladfelterLab
