Finally out! With our "PhotoCells" we can dynamically control membrane viscosity in living cells revealing how physical properties of membranes fine-tune cellular logistics. Truly interdisciplinary and collaborative research, made possible thanks to all our fantastic collaborators. Congrats to all!

We have a fully funded 3y postdoc position open!!!! Come join us @mpi-cbg.de and @poldresden.bsky.social to understand the role of Membranes in Controlling Biogenic Crystallization :) this is part of our #HFSP funded project with @noemijimenezrojo.bsky.social and @vmonje.bsky.social! Applications👇

New IJDB issue! On the cover: immunofluorescence showing PCNA-positive cells (proliferating cell nuclear antigen, red) and Toll-Like Receptor 7 ( TLR7, green) in the neural retina of an E14 mouse embryo's eye. For further details, see the article by Rasile et al. in this issue.

HFSP @hfspo.bsky.social Early Career Grant Award for @ritamateus.bsky.social and collaborators to uncover crystal formation inside cells. Congratulations! 🎉 www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

Please share🙌🤗 We just opened a PhD position to investigate biophysics in eukaryotes that grow in the cryosphere (glaciers, snow, Mars....)! If you like advanced imaging, evolution and quantitative biology, apply!! we are looking for you! More details here👇 www.upf.edu/documents/28...

Extremely grateful to @hfspo.bsky.social and super excited to set this project in motion together with the incredibly talented @ritamateus.bsky.social and @vmonje.bsky.social Zebrafish hide a secret: lipid membranes shaping the crystals behind their stunning structural colors. How? Stay tuned! #HFSP

I am recruiting a research assistant. Please send to anyone you know who is interested in gaining more lab experience in host:pathogen interactions of bacterial infections. www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50738/

WE ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH European Commission: Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, She figures 2024 – Infographic, Publications Office of the European Union, 2025

Mucho hablar, pero poca política útil 👉Tras 18 años del 1er informe, She Figures muestra que las mujeres superan a los hombres en la enseñanza universitaria, pero están claramente infrarrepresentadas en puestos directivos y aumenta la brecha de género en las TIC mujeresconciencia.com/2025/03/14/s...

Only one week left to apply, you should not miss this!👇🏻

If you’re looking to explore lipid cell heterogeneity and dynamics at single-cell level from a fresh perspective, we encourage you to check out this review on single-cell lipid biology!!!

We have extended deadlines for Early Bird Registration and Travel grants! You now have until January 17th to take advantage of lower registration prices, and submit your applications for FEBS Travel Funds! sphingolipidbiology2025.febsevents.org
