Our work on NPC biogenesis is now out! Wanlu Zhang investigated the role of FG-Nups in NPC reassembly, pore dilation, and the nuclear envelope remodelling using acute depletions, correlative EM, and MINFLUX imaging 💫. Thanks, Wanlu and all the collaborators!

Congratulations Wanlu!! 🚀🚀

Just got round to watching Mario Draghi's speech in Rimini in the original Italian. It is easily the most important speech on Europe so far this year and I hope someone (@grandcontinent.bsky.social?‬) publishes it in English and other EU languages soon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMME...

Our new non-denaturing nanoscale 3D DNA tracing technology provides single-cell (and sister-chromatid specific!) readout of chromatin structure with 10kb genomic resolution - Check it out! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Congratulations to Kai and Oyvind!!

"Nicht einen Millimeter überlassen..." Ich habe das jetzt erst gesehen und was soll ich sagen, was Igor Levit da anlässlich des Todes von Margot Friedländer aus dem Stand heraus sagt, ist das Berührendste, Wahrste und Richtigste, was ich seit ewig im deutschen Fernsehen gehört habe.

🎉 Excited to share our new work: “Adhesion-driven tissue rigidification triggers epithelial cell polarity”, now on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social ! A huge thank you to @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social, Bernat, @crisp-c.bsky.social, Adrián, and everyone involved! 🙌 🧵⤵️

DWD-Fakten zur aktuellen #Trockenheit in #Deutschland: Noch nie seit Beginn der Auswertung 1931 war es in Deutschland im Zeitraum von Anfang Februar bis Mitte April so trocken wie 2025. Mehr Details auch zu #Europa in der heutigen Pressemitteilung unter www.dwd.de/presse

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

Did you know that DNA must form overlapping loops to give rise to the well-known X-shape of chromosomes? 🧬🧪 New research from EMBL's Ellenberg Group provides new insights into the process of chromosome formation. @ellenberglab.bsky.social @andibrunner.bsky.social www.embl.org/news/science...

Our new findings on how chromosomes get ready for cell division are now published in @cellpress.bsky.social! Congratulations, Kai, @andibrunner.bsky.social and everyone else involved! 🤩 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Mitotic chromosomes form through long, overlapping and self-repelling DNA loops, generated by the Condensin complexes! Check out our newest paper here, and see below for a short Bluetorial! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

SO excited to see this out!

We are #hiring! We have two open postdoc/research scientist positions to join our #ERC funded project MITOFOLD to resolve the organization of mitotic chromosomes! 1) experimental biologist shorturl.at/LjGEM 2) data scientist shorturl.at/nDdhQ Please share! 🙌 We look forward to your application! 🤩

History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Zwei Tage vor der der Wahl haben Friedrich Merz und die Union eine Anfrage gestellt, die man in dieser Form sonst nur von der AfD kannte. In 551 (!) Fragen stellen sie die Gemeinnützigkeit zahlreicher NGOs in Frage, darunter auch des @netzwerkrecherche.org. dserver.bundestag.de/btd/20/150/2...

🇩🇪 ist die drittgrößte Volkswirtschaft der Welt. Morgen wählen wir - entweder für eine moderne, klimaneutrale Wirtschaft, oder für die Rückkehr zu Technologien des letzten Jahrhunderts. Lasst euch nicht für dumm verkaufen mit Scheinlösungen, die nur das fossile Geschäftsmodell noch etwas verlängern.

In today‘s talk on „Autocracy vs Democracy“ in Heidelberg, Prof. Dr. Aurel Croissant said that 7/9 landmark developments towards #autocracy have been made in the US. A change back to more #democracy becomes increasingly unlikely. At the same time, the white house posted this on X, citing #Trump.

Ich rechne damit, dass heute, Vorwürfe gegen meine Doktorarbeit, die ich vor 25 Jahren geschrieben habe, veröffentlicht werden. Ich habe mich entschieden, das Ganze transparent zu machen. Denn ich kenne die Vorwürfe – und konnte sie vorab prüfen lassen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYyA...

Erasure. At the National Institute of Health, posters of women and scientists of color have been taken down. Shared by @ivancalcantara.bsky.social

Doing a report on AfD campaigning on Facebook and it really is striking the sheer level of AI images and videos. Smiling white (often blonde) Germans contrasted against glowering dark skinned men. Shameless stuff, but perhaps I shouldn't be surprised

Congratulations to @andibrunner.bsky.social and the team, and many thanks to the lab of Jan-Michael Peters for support! We found that the interphase and mitotic chromatin loop organization have more in common than previously thought: In both stages big loops are built first, small ones second

My first own project is published: Despite major differences in chromosome shape during #interphase and #mitosis, the underlying #loop-extruder based organization is highly similar A new data resource and new insights into human chromatin biology! 🧬🥳

@andibrunner.bsky.social et al. @ellenberglab.bsky.social show that interphase organization into Cohesin-driven loops occurs in a sequential and hierarchical manner - just like the mitotic organization by Condensins. https://buff.ly/426gIEu @wanluzhang.bsky.social

Highly recommend to check that out! #CellBio24

We are now on Bluesky! Follow us for exciting #Science around #CellDivision and nuclear organization, illuminated using advanced #imaging #technology - like our last preprint on mitotic chromosome structure and organization: tinyurl.com/yaznnkku
