What a fun meeting! The future of Swiss science is bright ⭐️

Thanks @dudinlab.bsky.social @michaelraissig.bsky.social for the invite!

Wonderful to see old friends @annikaguse.bsky.social @lsaunders.bsky.social @jandevries.bsky.social and new

Using micropatterning & thousands of hours on the microscope
@manuelthery.bsky.social and the #CytoMorphoLab reimagined the Musée D’Orsay. Accompanied by an orchestra and poet, their images transported us into the cellular universe. I remembered why I am a cell biologist. All of this is in us. Wow!

Are you a long-time fan of Archaea, an extremophile-phile, or are you simply curious?

Either way, we have good news.
We’re delighted to announce the 2026 EMBO Workshop on Archaea, 6–10 July.

Sign up: meetings.embo.org/event/26-arc...

We look forward to seeing you in Cambridge, UK.

Ordering of cell cycle events by regulated proteolysis is not just for eukaryotes:
@buzzbaum.bsky.social et al define mechanisms underlying switch-like degradation of archaeal ESCRT-III CvdB in Sulfolobus

🥳 Our new paper on C2CD3 is out in @plosbiology.org
With the labs of @cellarchlab.com , @chgenoud.bsky.social , and @stearnslab.bsky.social , we revealed the mammalian centriole Distal Ring architecture by combining #UExM and in situ #CryoET.
Big congrats to @ebertiaux.bsky.social and all involved.

Holiday break is near in the SICE team ! 🤩✨️🎄🧇

Thrilled to receive the Peters Poster Award (Postdoc) at the 29th Young Researchers Meeting of the @fondationarc.bsky.social

Grateful to the Fondation ARC, the jury, and donors for supporting my fundamental cancer research at @echardlab-pasteur.bsky.social ’s unit @pasteur.fr

Honored to receive the 2025 #Sidaction Scientific “Young Researcher” Award.
@sidaction.bsky.social
Thanks to my supervisors & colleagues for their support.
Inspired to receive this trophy from #Françoise #BarréSinoussi, Nobel Prize laureate, and motivated to keep contributing to scientific progress.

I am so proud of @jezcarlton.bsky.social . What a magnificent inaugural lecture, many congratulations Professor Carlton!

Nonmuscle myosin II regulates presynaptic actin and neuronal mechanobiology in Drosophila Neurons and muscles must maintain structural contact despite mechanical strain. Ermanoska et al. identify a presynaptic actomyosin core at Drosophila neuro

The first article that I edited for @jcb.org is out! It's about presynaptic actin, it's in Drosophila, and it's from @biljanaermanoska.bsky.social, Jonathan Baets and @rodallab.bsky.social. Congrats for this neat work!

Live-cell magnetic manipulation of recycling endosomes reveals their direct effect on actin protrusions to promote invasive migration Repositioning of Rab25 vesicles containing formin and integrin cargos to the cell periphery promotes protrusion formation.

OMG, this is such a cool paper from Patrick Caswell's lab. They express Rab25-mCherry-GFP-nanobody in cells, microinject GFP-magnetic particles, then use a magnet to pull Rab25 to the plasma membrane to show that it can trigger actin protrusions! I want this system.

Thank you Steffi and Veselin.

What a fantastic ESCRT meeting, the field is going strong and full of exciting science. Many thanks to @rouxlab.bsky.social @cellarchlab.com @jujumathieu.bsky.social @magromayor.bsky.social @majarad.bsky.social for organising such a a great event

Acknowledgments slide done! Time to rehearse for @academiesciences.bsky.social

Wonder doesn’t flinch. It’s our compass pulling us toward curiosity, creativity It reminds us: #science & #discovery are good. Here’s a moment that stirred mine: a new PI(3,4)P₂ probe illuminating the cell membrane & endosomes. Marvel with me. Captured on #FluorescenceFriday for #MicroscopyMonday

🚨Paper alert!
🚀 We presented SINETRA at #ISBI2025 in Houston
A new simulator for generating realistic 2D/3D neuron tracking data in moving animals like Hydra vulgaris

I am super excited that our @tibbe-evolneuro.bsky.social symposium we proposed with @ebablab.bsky.social & @alealisousa.bsky.social for @eseb.bsky.social @eseb2025.bsky.social in Barcelona received so many fantastic abstracts! 😍🚀 Looking forward to seeing all these amazing projects! 🪰🐟🦜🌿🐒🐍🦋🦎🐊🐜🕷️🦟🦗🐙🐸🪲

Watching fission yeast divide is cool🦠. But showing it with a kymograph? Even cooler 😎, shows it all—mitosis, cell wall—packed into spatiotemporal magic🪄. Flattening time into 2D just makes it easier to understand. #FluorescenceFriday @pasteur.fr @pasteuredu.bsky.social #Microscopy #Microbiology🔬
