JCB's Latest Online Feature: Biosights

By apalazzo on November 26, 2008.

The Journal of Cell Biology is one of my usual reads. Recently they've been adding extra features to their site that I really appreciate. A few months back they started a podcast, Biobytes, and now recently they have launched Biosights, a series of on online videos about research published in JCB.

Incidentally the first clip from Biosights is on Allan Hall's latest paper describing how Cdc42, one of the coolest G-proteins in the cell, controls the axis of the mitotic spindle. (Yes Polarity - that same topic that I was telling you about a couple of days back.)

Here is the first eddition of Biosight:

Also a note to the JCB staff, make your clips embeddable! It's the best way to disseminate your videos throughout the web, whether it be on blogs or other web based platforms.

Generating Force at the Leading Edge
Last week I saw an awesome lecture by Gaudenz Danuser who has a lab at the Scripps institute in San Diego. It has taken me a week to fully digest what was said, plus I haven't had the time to jot this down. Over the past few years the Danuser lab along with Claire Waterman-Storer's group (see this…
Cell Polarity and Aging - A Unifying Theory
I just read this fascinating theory that was fully explained in a review that appeared in the latest issue of Cell. This theory connects the origin of cell polarity with aging and it suggests that the centrosome may carry genetic information. Today I'll focus on the first deep connection polarity…
Tid Bits - Snowy Sunday Edition
The lack of posts can be explained by this equation (lab work = 1/updates) so I'll make it up to you with a weekend smorgasbord of links. So today as I sit in my warm cozy snowed-in apartment I present to you the latest edition of Tib Bits. First off, I would like to wish happy birthday to the late…
