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!

Excited to share our new preprint exploring how Paramecium achieves diverse flow functions, i.e. feeding and swimming, simultaneously. This work was spearheaded by our ExM expert, PhD student Daphne Laan @daphnelaan.bsky.social :

@embl.org at its best: collaborative, open, transformative, and just the right amount of crazy. Dreaming of mechanistic cell biology *in the natural environment*? Dream no more, rent the AML.

🔬 @eurobioimaging.bsky.social Spain is officially launched as the Spanish node (@eurobioimaging-es.bsky.social) of Europe’s leading #bioimaging infrastructure.
Proud to be part of it through our Advanced Digital Microscopy Facility!

Hey Bungo. I don't know if you figure it out but look at this one.
From this paper: shorturl.at/Og2tn
They identify this blue light receptor only in one the posterior flagelum!
This monday we had our monthly Sciences Club.
Here Cesar Bernat is showing his work on CHMP1A in mammalian cells in the @rouxlab.bsky.social !

🚨 New preprint!
Together with @carobarisch.bsky.social lab, we investigated how intracellular compartmentalization shapes lipid acquisition in mycobacteria
Interestingly, deleting one FACL enzyme (FACL6) revealed striking compartment-dependent phenotypes 🔬
Check it out: doi.org/10.64898/202...
Brain with puzzle overlay to show that our study provides missing pieces of the puzzle of human brain development by delivering the most comprehensive picture of hindbrain development to date. We have strived to go beyond just another multi-omics atlas to gain deep insights by: 1. Meticulously annotating cell clusters 2. Extracting regulatory programs in terms of coordinated gene sets and accessible regulatory elements 3. Using deep learning to identify regulatory syntax 4. Resolving context-specific TF activity
Excited to share our preprint on our new multi-omic atlas of human hindbrain development. Led by postdoc Piyush Joshi, in collaboration with @kaessmannlab.bsky.social and Pfister labs, our atlas represents the first comprehensive view of human hindbrain development. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Proud and excited to share our work with the community! Helen @helenfoster.bsky.social Foster et al. study how #cilia axonemes are built. 👀 Don't miss the gorgeous and insightful movies by @margotriggi.bsky.social, they really show our discoveries in full action!

Hello epithelial mechanics fans!! I’m Juanma @juanmagararc.bsky.social 👋 I work on cell mechanics (see celldynamicslab.com) and use Flipper-TR FLIM to probe membrane biophysics in cells.
Join me on this tour about Flipper: what it measures, strengths, advice, cool case studies, and cute drawings!
Ever wanted to hold a cilium in your hand? 🧬✨
Here is a look at how I’m using CiliaBuilder in @UCSFChimeraX to generate accurate 3D prints of centrioles and cilia. Perfect for teaching or lab displays!

Love to explore the different stainings in the Human Protein Atlas @proteinatlas.bsky.social 😍
So beatiful cells over there! I strongly recommend you to play with it and find your favourite protein :)
