Excellent symposium! Thanks for organizing this.

This year’s meeting will focus on cutting-edge research at the intersection of #immunology, host-pathogen interactions, #inflammation and #infection biology, aiming to foster collaboration across northern Germany and beyond.

📣 The registration for “The Northern Germany Meeting on Infection, Inflammation & Immunology", taking place on October 8th, 2025, at the Research Center Borstel is now open. For the first time, this symposium is being co-organized by NDI³ and NordInfect.

Discovery of a new evolutionarily conserved short linear F-actin binding motif Regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by actin binding proteins (ABPs) is essential for cellular homeostasis, and the mode of actin binding determines the activity of ABPs. Here, we discovered a novel ...

Interesting preprint from the Windhorst, Marlovits and Linder (@linderlab.bsky.social) groups: They investigate the spectrum of actin binding motives that may exist in many proteins.
