In marine invertebrates 💙, test for DNA incorporation of EU!
#Nematostella ⚠️ EU in RNA+DNA
#Aiptasia ⚠️ EU in DNA
#Ctenophores ✅ EU only in RNA

Cell cycle arrest in the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis.
Corals maintain stable populations of essential photosynthetic symbionts by controlling their cell cycle, not by eating them! Our new #PNAS paper monitored and modelled #aiptasia cell cycle, autophagy, and expulsion for over a year. #symbiosis #microbiology www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Penny Lane, my Copperband Butterfly, wiped out every Aiptasia in my tank. No shrimp, no chemicals—just one hungry hunter. 🦋🔥 #ReefTank #Aiptasia

🚨New Preprint Alert!🚨 Integrins are key receptors involved in the phagocytosis of symbionts in cnidarians. This sheds light on the mechanisms of symbiosis establishment in coral reefs. A thread... #coralreef #aiptasia #marinesymbiosis www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Happy Holidays from our festive Aiptasia anemones! I will never get bored of looking at these cuties under the microscope 🔬

Happy Friday! Here's an #Aiptasia polyp from this week's adventure into Cnidarian - Plankton #symbiosis
Officially been living in Munich for one year as of today! Been having a blast working on such an interesting model organism. Here's a pic of one of my CRISPR mutant Aiptasia polyps associated with symbionts (red) 😍 #aiptasia #mutant
Eight students standing with rolled-up scientific posters, one lying down on side.
When you want to brag about your students giving poster presentations without leaking unpublished data...Haha! 😜 #undergraduateresearch #biology #aiptasia #symbiosis #research
