A tulip! lovely! can they roll cigarettes as well?

let's put cells on those

congratulations Martin! this had to be a Science paper

your sermon to the Lord was very moving

Marseille bébé, be there or be square

We will have the pleasure of welcoming @manuelthery.bsky.social from @cea.fr to Luminy, Marseille as a keynote speaker.

🔬 From Morphogenesis to Space Partitioning by Microtubules and Motors

Save the date! 🙌

where do we see the miel being poured over the axon ?

When new biology also lead to new physics !
Active phase separation ! This is so biology: spending energy to keep things organized. I love it !

I know who is responsible for this, but I couldn't tell you how it happend.

#JNeurosci: In this work, Tumminia, Mezache, @christlet.bsky.social et al. have developed a new method to induce the formation of synapses along axons directly on the glass coverslip rather than in contact with another neuron. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1741-24.2026

The new release of #BigVolumeBrowser (0.1.0) finally adds animation render functionality to it, plus some other navigation improvements and bug fixes.
Here is a movie I've made for the microtubule network (via ExM) in different cell types. Contact me if you want it for educational/research purposes.

Wooow ! this is beautifully stunning. Can you track single MT in those cells ? Could I have access to the stacks for teaching and for trying to understand what has generated such beautiful networks ?

Since #durotaxis was described >25 years ago, most studies report cells migrating from soft → stiff

New work from my team at @ub.edu (in collaboration with D. Odde's lab) suggests we may have been missing the point all along...

🧫 Et si la science devenait une œuvre d’art ?

Au @museeorsay.bsky.social, des images de cellules observées au microscope deviennent une performance visuelle pour faire sortir la biologie du laboratoire et révéler l’architecture du vivant.

beautiful lines and textures!

Motor activity of nonmuscle myosin 2A is a key component of bipolar filament turnover in cells

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Amazing work by Kris and gang! For the first time we have been able to image division ring components live in Sulfolobus. And guess what - CdvA is asymmetrically inherited.

Our results challenge the prevailing model that avidity necessarily leads to mechanically robust linkages; instead, we show how mechanosensitivity can arise as an intrinsic, nonequilibrium property of multivalency. 10/13

it did make the cover #alternativefacts

Here it is ! the discovery of a self-replicating RNA sequence ! Congratulations to all the authors ! it sounds like a major breakthrough in our understanding of the origin of life.

Last days to apply this position in our group! Do join us in this great Institute @crg.eu, with great colleagues, and help shaping the science and culture of our lab!

lots of comets seem to emerge from the cytosol and not so many from the centrosome 🧐

is this commercially available?

cos9 never cease impressing me

SynBYSS The International SynBYSS Conference is focused on bringing together the synthetic biology community with the explicit goal of developing young...

#SynBYSS conference is scheduled on Jun 8-11, 2026 in Barcelona. Given the 100-year celebration of Architect Gaudi in Barcelona, we suggest early booking of hotels.
Details can be found: www.jcvi.org/events/synbyss (speakers, abstract submission & registration)

This weekend we projected cells and filaments on the roof of the @museeorsay.bsky.social in Paris, then we contracted it with a pinch of myosin.
And it was fabulous!

Grateful to have been part of this art/science project & thx to @manuelthery.bsky.social @lblanchoin.bsky.social & the CytoMorphoLab

Nice video, Alfredo! But why don't you show your nice unpublished contribution? Fear of being scooped? The Orsay Museum is worth all the journals!

A few seconds of eternity: From microscope to museum❣️
It was truly delightful to be part of this project, celebrating life as a continuous dance of creation, collapse, and renewal. 🔄
Kudos to @manuelthery.bsky.social @lblanchoin.bsky.social #cytomorpholab members, and @museeorsay.bsky.social

and certainly in you Buzz!

Huge congrats to @manuelthery.bsky.social and all the Cytomorpho lab. The "Living Architectures" performance at @museeorsay.bsky.social was breathtakingly beautiful
