Secret Santa paid a visit to the Sumara Lab today! 🌟🎅🎄

We are excited to share the revised version of our preprint elucidating the role of Annulate Lamellae in the assembly of Nuclear Pore Complexes #NPCs during early interphase. Big thanks to Junyan Lin and all collaborators for their fantastic work! 🙏🎉

Our own Dr. Xiaotian Liu presented a talk on the role of asymmetric dimethylation in nuclear pore assembly at the #EESNucleus EMBO meeting. We couldn’t be prouder 🤓😎😁😁

It was a fantastic #EESNucleus meeting! Thank you so much to the organizers and the entire supporting team 🙏😁

This was indeed a fantastic trip, thanks so much for hosting me! I very much enjoyed learning about fantastic science from you and your amazing @sumatalab.bsky.social team and the great IGBMC community!

A new photo of my amazing team! 🤩🌟🥰

I had the great pleasure of hosting Christian Schlieker @schliekerlab.bsky.social for a seminar at IGBMC @igbmc.bsky.social Thank you 🙏, Christian, for sharing your inspiring science and ideas, and for such engaging discussions with PIs and my team. A truly wonderful visit! 🤩😁

Minimal CDK and maximal Damien Coudreuse lab! Big congrats 🎉🎈🍾

Today we welcomed our new postdoc, Dr. Marintia Nava @marintianava.bsky.social, to the lab! We’re so happy to have her on board and wish her the best of luck as she begins her exciting work on Annulate Lamellae. Welcome, Marintia! 😁🤩🌟

Liao et al. @sumaralab.bsky.social show that UBAP2L ensures homeostasis of nuclear pore complexes at the intact nuclear envelope. rupress.org/jcb/article/... 📕 In our Intermediate Filaments collection: rupress.org/jcb/collecti...

Last day to submit abstracts! Nuclear cell biologists, mechanobiologists, et al. don’t miss out - amazing interdisciplinary line up: computational biology, biophysics, development, genomics - we will have it all!

Did you know that all nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are not the same? @luskinglab.bsky.social propose a new hypothesis for how nuclear mechanics may impact the compositional plasticity of NPCs with implications for tissue-specific diseases caused by NPC dysfunction. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Why are low-complexity domains (LCDs) in proteins important? #LaskerAward winners Dirk Görlich & Steven McKnight showed that they are critical for intracellular transport and organization. #Lasker2025 #structuralbiology #phaseseparation @mpi-nat.bsky.social

We are very happy and proud to celebrate our freshly minted Dr. Xiaotian Liu! 🎉🥂🥳 Many thanks 🙏 to the jury members Ali Hamiche, Lionel Pintard @ccdlab.bsky.social and Charlène Boumendil @charleneboumendil.bsky.social, who also gave a wonderful seminar at the @igbmc.bsky.social
