Inês paper in Cancer Cell

So Inês T already have a paper in Cancer Cell.. now that was quick.
Congrats...

Bri paper on Fascin/singed

Bri's paper on Fascin/singed is out in JCB..
He characterised a new phosphorylation site, which is very interesting. The "classical" serine52 is not bundling actin when phosphorylated, and has been described before.
But this one (serine289) is at the tip of filaments when not phosphorylated. Could be interesting to see what happens when both sides are mutated.

Epithelia Delamination

Two papers on epithelia delamination, one in flies from Buzz (the talk he gave at the EMBO meeting) and on in zebrafish and in vitro from Jody.
Nice!

Dark Fly

These guys kept a fly stock in the dark for 57 years!! Not exactly a Master’s project, if you have to wait for 57 years!! Now who thought 57 years ago that this could be and interesting and very important experiment?! And imagine if someone entered the room one day and turned the lights on by mistake!!

Now they published the genome sequence, and I am not convinced considering that next-generation sequencing is not good enough yet, and they compare the sequence to Oregon R. But the idea is crazy enough!!

review on regeneration

interesting review on regeneration in different model organisms
