Beautiful discovery science - still so much to learn about the fundamentals of how the immune system- and just about every other body system - works. Congratulations on the team for solving this highly challenging problem - all good things take time!
1/ Just how are immune responses started? Published in @Nature, an international team led by @MonashBDI's @RossjohnLab & @MRC_TIDU's @davislab_oxford, made possible with expertise from @CryoEM_Monash, has solved the structure of a key “trigger”. More monash.edu/discovery-inst…

Congratulations to Inwon Lee for some great observations and beautiful movies. When investigating how mitochondria move in eggs and embryos, we found Trak2 caused aggregation into 'mitoballs'. Nuclear position, shape and function were all disrupted and embryos failed to develop.

A study studying cell organisation led by Inwon Lee, @DeepakMonash, @jcarrollmonash in @PNASNews reveals that disruption of #mitochondrial distribution by forming 'mitoballs' displaces nuclei & disrupts early #embryo development: bit.ly/4cIuQG6 10.1073/pnas.2317316121

Beautiful work @azelle_hawdon and @LabZenker adding another dimension to this all important stage of development.
Did you know that cells of the preimplantation mouse embryo assign RNA and organelles to specific subcellular regions?

Read our new paper in @NatureComms to find out how subcellular asymmetries regulate cell fate: doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
