Dans son livre Les rebondissements du vivant, Lionel Cavin, paléontologue et responsable du département des sciences de la Terre au Muséum Genève, raconte les grandes extinctions de la biodiversité, mais aussi comment elle a rebondi. Son interview sur le sujet est à retrouver sur Heidi news.

In 2017 we showed that homomers evolve on the edge of supramolecular self-assembly. Here we show how to exploit this vulnerability so that ALL homomers can become bona fide drug-🎯. Delighted that Aim 3 of our @erc.europa.eu finally polymerized! Manuscript: 👉 rdcu.be/e27bT

New preprint out! Zhoubo Hu et al "A redox-regulated RCC1-like protein controls catalase activity in Arabidopsis". We identify CAIR1, a UVR8-interacting protein, as a redox-responsive regulator of catalase localization and activity, maintaining cellular ROS balance. 🌱 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Very excited about this new preprint, in which @juliacoronasserna.bsky.social shows how cells ensure that fusion with another cell is irreversible! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @biology-unige.bsky.social 👇

New preprint from the lab 🎉: γ-tubulin is a novel target of the tubulin autoregulation pathway! Previously thought to exclusively target α- and β-tubulin mRNAs, we show that the TTC5–SCAPER–CNOT11 axis also degrades γ-tubulin mRNA, expanding the scope of this fundamental regulatory mechanism.

Our research on reptile pigmentation is featured on the cover of Genetics 🧬🦎 We uncover how mutations in TYR, SLC24A5, and OCA2 shape hypomelanism in snakes & geckos, revealing modular and flexible melanogenesis. 🔗 academic.oup.com/genetics/art...

Christmas party 🎄- The lab went full senior mode (and won the best costume). You all rock 😄 !!!!!! (If you’re wondering where the youth went… check who’s been quietly draining the lab’s energy 😈)

Congratulations @centriolelab.bsky.social and collaborators! 👏 @mocel.bsky.social @sciencesunige.bsky.social

A big thank you to Pascal Crétard and the Société Genevoise d’Apiculture for inviting me to give a talk about our research, and for all the support during our first experimental season with bees 🐝💛
