@flymuscles.bsky.socialYesterday, we held our annual Development Editors’ meeting and discussed the journal's future plans. Thank you to our Editors, all active researchers and your peers, colleagues and mentors. Their dedication makes it possible for us to publish papers the community can be proud of.
Show PostWe also found that the constitutive overexpression of Lamin Dm0 elicits the opposite effects of the knockdown: a dramatic increase in macrophage phagocytic capacity: much larger vacuoles that are prone to fusion!
Show PostOur data suggests that, in vivo, the nucleus senses indenting phagosomes and triggers an increase in Lamin B levels. We propose that this increase prompts the LINC complex harness the macrophage phagocytic behaviour to ultimately control their capacity.
Show PostHow do macrophages regulate their phagocytic capacity? We discovered that the nucleus plays a crucial part! 🧵 We found that apoptotic bodies-containing phagosomes move towards and mechanically perturb the nucleus of Drosophila embryonic macrophages in vivo. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
