I just want to #welcome all the new members with a beautiful multinucleated #Ichthyosporean just before undergoing #cellularization to form a transient #multicellular stage.

Cellularization flips the switch between multinucleate and multicellular states, and at least in opisthokonts, the group that includes animals and fungi, the toolkit + recipe are conserved.

Another fun Dudin-Dey team-up with many in both labs and EMBL core facilities pitching in

Cell biology of non-model fungi is advancing rapidly, in Chytrids for instance. The chytrid cellularization process is amazing, where nuclei are dispersed throughout the cytoplasm then synchronously compartmentalized into daughter cells. Astonishing and so much to learn. #Fungal26 7/15

Throughout #biologists100, we’ll be highlighting some of our delegates using our new selfie boards. We’re kicking the project off by featuring Margarida Araújo, who will be reporting on the conference for FocalPlane and helped inspire the project.

Well... perhaps less no that much! In animal cells, microvilli can also serve as reservoir of actin and membrane, to be mobilized to activate cell migration (eg to close wounds in enterocyte monolayers) or to support cell division (in ordinary mitosis, but also in fruit fly cellularization).

We knew from previous work MTs weren't strictly required for #cellularization ! PM furrows still form without them,but things go wrong.
Turns out MTs are essential for spatial fidelity: without them, furrows misdirect, nuclear spacing goes haywire, and dynamics is slower!

A quick digest :
#Cellularization runs on two separable modules:
🧭 MTs + #MTOCs → spatial patterning (where furrows go)
⚙️ #Actomyosin + membranes→ mechanical ingression (how furrows grow)

Disrupt either one and the process breaks — but in different ways.

Three-dimensional cellularization in chytrid fungi uses distinct mechanisms from those driving one- and two-dimensional cytokinesis in animals and yeast https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.30.635136v1

Riku O. Korkiamäki & colleagues report a new interaction between Drosophila Filamin and Drak. They tested the hypothesis that Filamin & Drak are mechanotransduction partners during cellularization + during indirect flight muscle development

I love the people who name Drosophila genes.

A cytoskeletal mutant that prevents nuclei binding to the syncytial outer membrane, so they fall into the middle before cellularization?

…

Nuclear fallout.

other tremendous nations incapable of running democracy are all in the process of evolving misinformation systems designed to craft humans who will functionally be incapable of ever understanding reality.

we all slipped through the cracks before the cellularization was finished being developed.

value cellularization
Enthalpy of atomization & cellularization
value is real or symbolic or a word composed of letters that are enthalpies
symbolic or symbols can be commonly words, letters, numbers & related derivatives & subsets
numbers & letters are symbols created to symbolize.
