Can you identify the axon?
New paper accepted!
Another tau paper will be published soon! This time we show that endogenous tau can be mis-localized from the axon to the soma by manipulating microtubules.
Cover!
Olympus Image of the Year competition
Olympus launched a new global competition for microscope images in life science. I will serve as a judge and hope to have many entries around the globe.
Accepted!
A paper by my graduate student has been accepted in Molecular Biology of the Cell!! I have been really nervous about it, as it was necessary for her to submit her thesis. Relieved……..
New paper accepted!!
Finally……. After cancelling the submission because the mouse line used was not what we thought it was, recovering the right ones from frozen eggs, and redoing the experiments….. Now, it is done.
New Lab…… (almost)
There was a almost complete turnover of the lab member. Two staff scientists are gone to new institute for permanent positions, and one grad student retired.
But I am very excited to have two new staff scientists!
RIP…..
A giant in Neuroscience has passed away a few days ago.
Rest in peace, Dr. Masao Ito.
