The beauty of Nature 😍

So beatiful man 😍😍😍

Day 1 of the EMBO U-ExM Workshop at EMBL Heidelberg #EMBOExM
Great to see this workshop finally kicking off, engaged discussions, talks, and our first gelation and expansion already underway.
Many thanks to our sponsors for their support!
Looking forward to the next days !!

Today we had our Science Club series with @kilianzuchan.bsky.social !
Super interesting research to understand and optimize the functions of hydrogenases :)

Development of the fluorescent probe CenSpark for labeling centrioles and cilia - Nature Chemical Biology CenSpark is a dual-ligand fluorescent probe binding simultaneously inner and outer microtubule sites, a configuration unique to doublet and triplet microtubules, enabling selective live imaging of cen...

Very cool probe to label doublet MTs and therefore centrioles across different species and set ups (from live imaging, STED and expansion)!😍

We are looking for a human MALAT1 overexpression plasmid.

Does any of you kind people have it?

Cytokinetic abscission failures in a polarized epithelium affect apical membrane size and cilia | Molecular Biology of the Cell Cytokinetic abscission genes are linked to cancers and developmental disorders, but the consequences of disrupted abscission in vivo remain under-explored. Previously we showed that in the forebrain o...

Our latest #abscission paper is online at MBoC www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/... . We looked at what happens when there are stochastic abscission failures in a polarized epithelium in vivo. 1/6

Our new preprint is up! This is the main postdoc work of @wiesner-t.bsky.social focusing on exocytosis along the axon shaft and its regulation by the sub membrane actin-spectrin scaffold: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to share our latest work spearheaded by super talented PhD student Muyang Ren now out as a bioRxiv preprint.

'Motile ciliophagy promotes ciliary recycling under stress'

We tested the efficacy of semi-permeable capsules to capture protists from cultures and environmental samples using the Onyx from @atrandi.bsky.social. Tremendous effort from everyone in the lab and led by Marco Fantini and Nik Brask - check out the videos here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Very big congrats Juan!!! Amazing work😍

Unveiling the molecular architecture of T cells and immune synapses with cryo-expansion microscopy.

wow. really cool imaging here. especially if you like immune cells

New preprint! We identified many components that localize to the structure involved in "eating" in a marine organism.

Excited to announce I’m starting a new lab at @gmivienna.bsky.social (Vienna BioCentre) in Sept 2026

We study how carbon fixation is inherited and maintained in algae using cryo-ET, imaging, environmental sampling&more

Looking for people who want to build the lab together, get in touch!
