Join us December 14-18, 2024 in San Diego, California for Cell Bio 2024, the joint meeting of ASCB and the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). This is your opportunity to network with scientists, present your research, explore the exhibit hall, and learn the latest cell biology science and technology.
U.S. Visa Interview Delays Mean You Should Act Soon
International scientists planning to attend Cell Bio 2023 should make travel plans sooner than later, especially if they will need to obtain visas to enter the United States. Delays in obtaining dates for in-person visa interviews vary wildly at U.S. embassies and consulates around the world, with some delays as long as hundreds of days….
Deadname Walking
Many transgender people make a legal name change as part of their transition to present in their preferred gender. A key part of this process is to leave behind their original, so-called “deadname,” the persistence of which will “out” them to others and can trigger bouts of dysphoria for some. Shedding a deadname is particularly…
MBoC Welcomes New Social Media Editors
ASCB’s Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) has been proudly serving the community for more than 30 years—providing authors with constructive feedback and a quick platform to showcase their work, and providing readers with the highest quality cell biology research. I am pleased to introduce our first four volunteers to serve as MBoC Social Media…
Preprint Highlight: The lymphatic system favours survival of a unique T. brucei population, and its invasion results in major host pathology
Although most studies investigating the pathology of African trypanosomes, an extracellular protozoan parasite, have focused on parasites resident in the blood, their presence in other tissues has garnered increasing attention. Using intravital microcopy and ex vivo imaging in mice, parasites were found to cause significant alterations in the nodes and lymphatic vasculature. Lymphatic parasites were characterized…
Preprint Highlight: Morphogenesis in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes proceeds via a highly asymmetric cell division
Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite that causes Chagas’ disease, a neglected tropical disease that kills approximately 50,000 people each year. T. cruzi adapts to different niches within its human host and insect vector by assuming a range of morphologies. However, the cell biology and morphology of the insect epimastigote form are poorly understood. The…
