Collagen is secreted in soluble form, endocytosed, then resecreted for fibril formation. I’m excited to see this published! It could explain our observations in #Celegans #aECM

youtube.com/watch?v=aecm... shitty video titles like this for clickbait purposes is why I don’t even bother with the Xenoblade fandom anymore 🤚

#aECM at #worm25 : At the aECM workshop, Pooranachithra Murugesan described the ~100 protein fusions made by the Ward and Chisholm labs, identifying collagens present in different cuticle layers, tissues, and substructures - a great resource for the worm community!

I made a start at this, but need more #aECM names! Please suggest some! go.bsky.app/QTi9nHY

For the last year, aECM Club seminars have brought together researchers working on apical ECM in diverse species and tissues - yeast cell wall, C. elegans cuticle, Drosophila lens, mammalian inner ear and pancreatic lumen, and many others.

Dear aECM researchers, Thank you for your interest in aECM Club! Feel free to forward this brief survey to any colleagues and trainees who may be interested.

Excited to share the latest work on how cell specific secretion of chitin controls the shape of the fly corneal lens, an #aECM structure.

it's all #aECM to me

#aECM (apical extracellular matrix) is a subset of #ECMatrix that is distinct from stromal matrices or basement membranes. Anybody out there studying #mucins #ZPproteins #cuticle #glycocalyx #surfactant or the like? We need to find each other and start talking!

Latest from @pujol-lab.bsky.social shows how a transient #aECM factor organizes furrow collagens in the #Celegans cuticle

There is so much cool #aECM work going on but most of the researchers don’t know or talk to each other; this is an attempt to change that! Link below
