Mentoring With Pride
Pride month 2023 has come and gone. Corporate rainbow pride campaigns are now back to their traditional colors, fewer pride flags line city streets, and city-wide pride celebrations are now a wonderful memory. Pride month is a special time for queer individuals and our allies. It is a time to come together, to protest injustices…
Preprint Highlight: Cell free expression in proteinosomes prepared from native protein-PNIPAAm conjugates
Developing cell-free transcription and translation systems is a key challenge in engineering synthetic cells. While lipid-derived compartmentalization of such systems has been achieved, other synthetic cellular platforms such as proteinosomes with enhanced material properties for stabilization, flexibility of use, and integration with higher-order cellular architectures, would be beneficial. The authors propose a simplified methodology for…
Brain Borders – A COMPASS Outreach Grant Spotlight
The BrainBorders neuroscience outreach program held its inaugural event at Calexico High School in June 2023 thanks to the generosity of the ASCB COMPASS Outreach Grant. BrainBorders aims to bring neuroscience experts from the University of California, San Diego and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies directly to the rural, agricultural community of Calexico, California…
Preprint Highlight: The pore-forming apolipoprotein APOL7C drives phagosomal rupture and antigen cross-presentation by dendritic cells
Conventional dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1s) specialize in antigen “cross-presentation”, a mechanism that involves the presentation of exogenous antigens on major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) proteins. While this process is essential in triggering anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity, the molecular mechanisms that facilitate cargo export to the cytosol to promote MHC-I presentation after phagocytosis are…
Sign Up to Schedule Abstracts into Poster Sessions
ASCB is offering early-career, mid-career, and postdoctoral members an opportunity for involvement on the Cell Bio 2023 Poster Abstract Programming Task Force. The primary purpose of the task force is to review the abstracts submitted for poster presentation and program them into poster sessions for the upcoming annual meeting. The committee will review abstracts provided…
Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC)
Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) is a premier journal for research in all areas of cell biology, from biophysics to genetics to neuroscience. Its 14 online issues per year include Special Issues in the important areas of Quantitative Cell Biology, and Forces on and within Cells. Readers and authors alike benefit from the journal’s review process, which offers authors constructive feedback by working scientists.
CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE)
CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE) is a peer-reviewed journal of life science education research and evidence-based practice published by the ASCB in editorial partnership with the Genetics Society of America and partially funded by Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Online and completely free, LSE emphasizes teaching innovations and evidence of their effectiveness and is designed for educators at all levels and across all life science disciplines.
