I’m truly honored to have received the Poster Award at #BiomembraneDays! Huge thanks to the organizers for an excellent conference and to the Saenz Lab for their continuous support!

Thanks to Lipotype for the three poster awards at #Biomembranedays2025 to Jana Kroll @janakroll.bsky.social , Manpreet Kaur and Nguyen Ha Ngoc Anh and congratulations to the winners!

🌶️ Lipids bring the heat 🔥 Lipids don’t just shape membranes, they influence cellular metabolism. We show that tuning lipidome composition strongly alters metabolic heat flow in the minimal cell JCVI-Syn3B 🦠 Fantastic collaboration with Karim Fahmy’s lab (HZDR) 🎉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very excited to share new work out today in @natchembio.nature.com on a new approach - FACES - for selectively imaging of phospholipids and other biomolecules at spatial resolutions down to individual membrane leaflets (1/n) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thank you all for coming to @bcube-tud.bsky.social and #Dresden last week. You all made Engineering Life 2025 #25EngLife a most interesting and fun event. #Mechanical #forces in Biology rule!!!

Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hot off the press, our latest review of RNA-lipid interactions -> The secret life of RNA and lipids: "There is no life without RNA or lipids. But could there be life with only RNA and lipids?" @tcjea.bsky.social @bcube-tud.bsky.social be-tud.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🧬 Thrilled to share that our work is featured on the cover of @natnano.nature.com (May issue)! We genetically encoded RNA origami that self-assembles into cytoskeletal nanotubes inside synthetic cells. 📄 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵👇

Why are biological membranes asymmetric, with different lipids in the two bilayer leaflets? Discovered in the 70s, lipid asymmetry is linked to many cellular processes, but why the cell needs it is largely unclear. @pavelbarahtjan.bsky.social addresses this question: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Just published! 🎊 Effects of lipid membranes on RNA catalytic activity and stability 🧬 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @bcube-tud.bsky.social

Very happy to see our study "printed" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... We report how mechanics are related with DNA recombination efficiency. Great work by Kate @cmcb-tud.bsky.social @tudresden.bsky.social in collab with @celineloot.bsky.social and @amazeld.bsky.social @pasteur.fr . Synopsis 👇1/4
