🥩 #Food systems generate roughly a third of global #greenhouse gas #emissions, and they’re among the most complex systems humans have shaped.
💡In this lecture at our BMC LMU, we’ll unpack the footprint of our diets and dive into the attractive and controversial topic of #cultivated #meat.

Glad to be at the @dgfi-org.bsky.social 21. Spring School for Immunology to discuss concepts of dendritic cell biology and our most recent work on the function of these cells in immune homeostasis. Great chance to interact with PhD students and colleagues from Germany and beyond. #dgfispringschool

The event is part of the #CASResearchFocus “Meaning of Life“, the #CASResearchFocus #Speciation, and the #BMCTrailblazerLectures @bmc-lmu.bsky.social.

Come and join Nobel laureate Paul Nurse, President @royalsociety.org, and philosopher Christof Rapp @caslmu.bsky.social @lmu.de in exploring one of the most fundamental questions in science: What is Life?

And a huge credit to the first author, Mauricio!

How does a cell move when it carries cargo larger than its own organelles?

Excited to share our findings: cells can mechanoadapt their force architecture to move oversized cargo
