Exciting to see this out in its final form! Wonderful work led by @probablycarmen.bsky.social. Want to know why protrusions are better at initiating immune signaling in #Tcells? Look no further. Link to Carmen’s 🧵 on the preprint bsky.app/profile/prob...

Now out in its final form in @jacs.acspublications.org: Reaction pathways & photoreaction yields of bifunctional lipid probes. The numbers that explain why we spend so much time optimizing protocols for cellular assays. 😉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Replying from Stockholm! It seems like it but we need to know more: did you have the urge to do 2-years of extra work to address those comments with the high possibility of getting rejected again? If yes, there is a possibility you have SS. But for better diagnosis, you need to visit us in Stockholm

New paper out 💥 3D cell-cell contact reconstitution with synthetic vesicles and (primary) immune cells to study how different proteins and carbohydrates influence the immune synapse dynamics.

Looks like a great @embo.org workshop coming in September: “Lipid Code to Life”, with a who’s who of lipid #biochemistry… (e.g. @dimovalab.bsky.social @holthuislab.bsky.social @sciezgin.bsky.social etc ) More info and registration: meetings.embo.org/event/26-lip... #lipids #biophysics

Excited to share our #preprint showing that #macrophages in the regenerating #zebrafish #heart are shaped by local cardiac-immune microniches, with a fibroblast-to-macrophage signal promoting regeneration over fibrotic repair www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

For EMBO Young Investigator Erdinc Sezgin, being part of the EMBO Young Investigator Programme is a chance to connect with top scientists and build an international “#research ecosystem” to advance #biophysics in medicine. 🧪 https://www.embo.org/people/bridging-disciplines/ #LifeSciences #networking

Thanks Sarah for the inspiration :))

Lipids are back :) congrats team!

Lipid imaging on the cover of @nature.com! Great times for lipid cell biology indeed. And a fantastic recognition of all the hard work by the team, especially Juan M. Iglesias-Artola and Kristin Böhlig (who made the cover). Link to article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The last edition in Lisbon was incredible! I’m sure this one will be nothing short of that!

Registration open: 77. Mosbacher Kolloquium "More than lipidic barriers - New horizons in membrane biology" from March 25-28, 2026
lnkd.in/dgsW4c3

Scientific Organizers: Britta Brügger, Robert Ernst, André Nadler, Christian Ungermann
Early registration & poster abstracts until January 31, 2026

I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research).

I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.

Cell Physics community is missing Jochen Guck deeply.. He was a very kind and generous person, one of the most creative minds, and always ready to help everyone in the field.. He inspired many of us.. He will always be missed..

Great talk from @sciezgin.bsky.social (aka komsu) at the #BiomembraneDays25 on correlating biophysical properties like packing and hydration to biomatkers for disease

@sciezgin.bsky.social will kick off the second morning session! #BiomembraneDays2025

Molecular basis for the regulation of membrane proteins through preferential lipid solvation - Nature Chemical Biology Static protein structures can capture the association of lipids, but it is unclear whether the association is due to lipids acting as long-lived ligands or the solvation of preferred lipids around the protein. A computational-experimental framework has now shown that for the protein CLC-ec1, it is the change in lipid solvation energies that drives dimerization, with preferred lipids around the protein modulating this driving force.

Are the lipids associated with static protein structures there as long-lived ligands or an effect of preferential solvation? This computational-experimental framework shows the way! #lipidtime #compchem

So flattering! Thanks @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social for this deeply meaningful award! All credit goes to my lab members and collaborators.

Pretty sure everyone has seen it already, but if you are also late like me, here is an excellent lipidtime paper by @nadlerlab.bsky.social and Co. One step closer to understanding the spatiotemporal lipid diversity in cells!

Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism.
