Sarah Woolner's lab at the University of Manchester, UK. We investigate mechanical regulation of cell division in developing tissues.

The localisation of the mitotic spindle orientation protein, NuMA, is highly dynamic and sensitive to tissue stretch. Frogs are also great for live imaging 🐸 Check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Check out our new preprint on bioRxiv. We show that NuMA localisation is sensitive to tissue stretch and acts to fine-tune division orientation. Mitotic spindle orientation and dynamics are fine-tuned by anisotropic tissue stretch via NuMA localisation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Baby you’re a fiiiiirework!!! Explanted Xenopus neural crest cell, microtubules (green) and actin (magenta). Imaging in frogs rocks- this is done room temp, no incubation, no problem. 🐸🔬✨ By Micaela Lasser, Helen Willsey @goodfrognosis Lab @zeiss_micro LSM980 fast airyscan

We are thrilled to announce that our @wellcometrust application to establish a Discovery Research Platform for Cell-Matrix Biology @OfficialUoM was successful! 🎉 Here’s what to expect #cellmatrixbiology 👇 (thread)

Discovery research has near limitless potential, but researchers can be faced with barriers too substantial to overcome alone. To address this, we are directing £73 million into eight new Discovery Research Platforms. Learn more ⤵️ wellc.me/416bBjJ

Biggest story on the front page of the Financial Times. Rightly. UK commits scientific, business and cultural suicide.

My latest for @ftopinion on the insanity of leaving HorizonEurope, how 🇬🇧 gov policy is slowly destroying British science & why academics are leaving. #Science ft.com/content/a66e17… via @financialtimes

Congratulations @emmaljohns on passing your viva yesterday! Thanks to @integrintraffic and @AlexGFletcher for acting as examiners. In addition to being an amazing interdisciplinary scientist, Dr Johns is also a fabulous potter, check out the family of frogs she made for us 🐸🐸🐸
