Our study on shape diversity in cnidarians is now published. The final version includes extensive new data that substantially extend the original bioRxiv preprint. Congrats to everyone who contributed to this work! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Congratulations Agathe!
Excited to share my first preprint from my PhD w/ @justinmcrocker.bsky.social. We show that cell type-specific regulatory dominance promotes robustness and evolutionary innovation through interallelic transcriptional hubs, potentially expanding the mutational paths available to diploids. (1/18)
Thank you @mollyherring.bsky.social for the stunning showcase 😍

Thank you Adrien!! Super chuffed to have this out 🥳🥳
Thank you Adrien!!
#LivingArchitectures Brought further to life by the stunning music of Alexandre Desplat, Philippe Hersant, and Kaija Saariaho
#LivingArchitectures is a glorious convergence of science and art.
@manuelthery.bsky.social and the #CytoMorphoLab turn the Orsay into a living canvas - its walls and ceilings pulsating with life. Cytoskeletal asters bloom. Cells stream, pause and surge. Magnifique!
Congratulations Rashmi!!! ❤️❤️❤️🐟🐟🐟🍾🍾🍾
Thank you Wayo!!! Hope all is well on your end
Thank you all for the herculean experimental efforts, insightful discussions, and shared curiosity that drove this project forward!
Such an incredible group of people I had the privilege to work with on this project @sudimukherjee.bsky.social @franzelab.bsky.social, @niklasgampl.bsky.social, Ross McGinn, Katrin Mooslehner, Julia Becker, @alexwinkel.bsky.social, Amelia Thompson and all the other wonderful Franze lab folk
Thank you Benita!! ❤️❤️❤️
🐸🐸🐸 I’m going to miss doing science with you now that this is out 🥲 We must find other things to do together!
Thank you Elias!!
Thank you Christophe!!
Thank you Juan!!! So glad to have this study out!
🥳🥳🥳 Pretty fab start to 2026!!
Bon année Alex!

How do new centromeres evolve while staying compatible with the division machinery?
Discover it in our new Nature paper! We show centromeres transition gradually via a mix of drift, selection, and sex, reaching new states that still work with the kinetochore.

In this week's DB unit seminar @embl.org, Eva Pillai @evapillai.bsky.social , a postdoc in the Arendt, Diz-Muñoz @diz-lab.bsky.social and Brunet groups @thibautbrunet.bsky.social , shared insights on the role of cell surface mechanics in multicellularity, using choanoflagellates as a model organism
NEW pub in @science.org 🥳
Is it sponges (panels A & B) or comb jellies (C & D) that root the animal tree of life?
For over 15 years, #phylogenomic studies have been divided.
We provide new evidence suggesting that...

An Asgard archaeon with internal membrane compartments
Brilliant study led by @fmacleod.bsky.social and Andriko von Kügelgen. Tight collaboration with @buzzbaum.bsky.social and lab. Congrats to all authors!

Asgard archaea are full of surprises, this time we found (tiny) microtubules (snapshots of microtubule evolution?!) - Check out our new paper on the cytoskeleton of Lokiarchaeum ossiferum: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
