Enjoying the Nordic Autophagy Society meeting in Sånga Säby! Great community and with impressive science and good discussions! @arcticautophagy.bsky.social @cancelluio.bsky.social @womeninautophagy.bsky.social

Meet George Garinis, professor at the University of Crete #Greece, affiliated group leader at imbb-forth.bsky.social and EMBO Member. “For me EMBO is all about connection,” he says, grateful for the role EMBO plays in facilitating #networking to other parts of #Europe: www.embo.org/people/creat... 🧪

Our new preprint is out ! We uncover how adult Drosophila muscles respond to injury through a coordinated dialogue between hemocytes, tracheal cells, and muscles. Check it out and please share @igdrennes.bsky.social

www.ascb.org/society-news... It's official now 😁 Big thanks again to @ascbiology.bsky.social & MBoC

Collective cell motion has many forms, but rotation is the coolest of them all. I'm @onenimesa.bsky.social , and in this short🧵, I'll highlight some instances of global tissue rotation like this one from @BauschLab

Amazing opportunity, join the Manzini Lab and become part of the Institute of Animal Physiology in Giessen!

The first full central nervous system connectome dataset of an adult fly, with the most comprehensive annotation of sensory and motor neurons to date. A heroic effort with contributions from many groups, a product of the collaborative spirit of the Drosophila neuroscience community.

I'll soon be advertising for a 3 year postdoc to join our lab at @edinuni-irr.bsky.social exploring #macrophages in salivary gland #development. Candidates should have a strong background in immunology/macrophage biology and/or developmental biology & key skills as below. Informal enquiries welcome!

Very happy and proud to share the latest work from our lab. Neuroendocrine control of intestinal regeneration through the vascular niche. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We are also highlighting Andrea Brand, who authored @dev-journal.bsky.social‘s most cited paper, as an extraordinary biologist this week. #100biologists

Very honored to receive the 2025 ISCB Innovator Award at #ISMBECCB2025 and present our lab’s journey—from mapping cells to modeling their future. Thanks to my amazing team and collaborators—this is our award! 🙌 📽️ Keynote: Atlases, AI & virtual cells 📝 doi.org/10.1093/bioi...

💡 Did you know that almost half of #HorizonEU topics required the use of social sciences & humanities (SSH)? Our new report reveals how SSH integration boosts impact & innovation across disciplines. Check it out to strengthen your next proposal! 👇 op.europa.eu/en/publicati...

Injury earlier in life rejuvenates the gut and extends life span. Way cool ! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Many components of human immunity evolved from ancient pathways in bacteria. A beautiful story from @audeber.bsky.social‬ @enzopoirier.bsky.social‬ leverages this evolutionary connection to discover SIRal as a signaling protein in animal TLR-mediated innate immunity. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

60 days to go for applying to marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/actions/post... if you want to join me to study ageing with an interesting new angle! #Smurfs #2PAC

Congratulations to EMBO Member Erin Schuman on receiving the Nakasone Award! 🧪 @mpibrain.bsky.social

Grateful to @mannerviklab.bsky.social and @biologsp.bsky.social for hosting a nano-scCUT&Tag workshop for all @scentinel.bsky.social partners. Amazing tour at @scilifelab.se and wonderful hospitality by the Sweds...they did spoil us! missing the cool summer weather and the calmness of Stockholm...

Congratulations Michalis and team!!

Excited for a scCUT&Tag workshop 🤞🤞, hosted by @mannerviklab.bsky.social during our annual @scentinel.bsky.social meeting together with partners @nkonst4.bsky.social @irbbarcelona.org Bioinformatics @igbmc.bsky.social Giagrande lab. Packing 🧳and 🪰

Cancer is pushing many patients in Europe in financial dire straits – even in countries with strong healthcare systems. A new #EuropeanFairPricingNetwork study shows that patients lose income, face additional costs & skip care after diagnosis ➡️ www.nki.nl/news-events/...

The results, based on a survey of more than 2,500 cancer patients across 25 European countries, are a cause for concern: 💰 56% lost income 💰 28% saw their income drop with up to €800/month 💰 86% faced extra costs & 16% delayed or skipped care #EuropeanFairPricingNetwork

(1/n) Excited to present the latest work from the de Wit lab, where we identify and characterise loop extrusion-mediated fountains in mammalian genomes using acute depletion of 3D genome regulators: doi.org/10.1093/nar/.... A Bluetorial🧵:

How beautiful ❤️!

This is a piece that I and @karsten-rippe.bsky.social discussing a lot, and a topic that is very close to my heart. The editors @naturerevgenet.bsky.social gave us the stage to do so, and the final version of our review is now available under this link: rdcu.be/erP1u A short thread follows 1/n

extremely happy to present the final version of our "smurf mice" paper www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1..., led by Céline Cansell when she was a postdoc in my group (now an independent @inrae-france.bsky.social researcher). Disclaimer: no blue mice here alas BUT clearly a biphasic ageing process

🚨📢 New paper alert! A study led by Kirsten Senti and Julius Brennecke offers new insights into how ancient endogenous retroviruses diversified to exploit different cell “niches” in the fruit fly ovary, and how the host’s defenses adapted in return. https://imba.science/Brennecke_EMBOJ

Exciting new PhD position with Jennifer Munkley at Newcastle University on glycan function and stem cells, including some work with fly gut stem cells in Durham! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Fantastic colleagues, project, facilities and technologies in Stockholm Mannervik lab, please fwd to your juniors

Happy that our preprint from early this year, uncovering the regulation a somatically "hot" endogenous retroelement locus, has now found its home in @narjournal.bsky.social. "TEsky" doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

Well done!! 👏

Ever wondered how a single ribosomal protein dictates cellular survival in competitive environments? Our research reveals that RpS12 marks cells as "losers" by inducing the short isoform of stress factor Xrp1.

Excited to share my first PhD paper in the @sbmontgom.bsky.social lab with @tamigj.bsky.social (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...)! Standard QTL methods treat each gene independently. But what if a single variant regulates multiple nearby genes at once - what we call “allelic proxitropy”? 🧵 ⬇️
