🚨 We have a new preprint out!
In this paper we look at GLUT4 trafficking. This is a short explainer thread, but please read the paper!

Years ago, I started the GalaxyGoo Cell Project, and we ran huge workshops at the Maker Faire. Where we led kids of all ages and they built 3D models of cells as we talked them through the protein pathway.
They took their models home, and let them dry, before slicing them open an looked at their cross sections.
We took them on a macro-simulation of electron microscopy.
It was amazing.

🤒 Why do we actually get a #fever? One reason is that immune cells move faster at higher temperatures. A team led by Stefan Wieser at the Institute of Zoology has now uncovered the molecular mechanism behind this process, with the motor protein myosin II taking center stage.
