#membrane seminars are back this week with @javierespadas.bsky.social from the @rouxlab.bsky.social and Chris Burd from @yalecellbiology.bsky.social! Looking forward to seeing everyone online!

Happy to share our new paper on collective cell dynamics. Great work from Yuan Shen @ijmonod.bsky.social ! Dynamic heterogeneity and hidden fluidity in dense epithelial tissues | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Nice preprint from Nicola Stevenson @bristoluni.bsky.social revealing domain-specific roles of TANGO1 in maintaining the architecture of the early secretory pathway. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨🚨Last day to register for the next annual meeting of Club Exocytose-Endocytose !!!🚨🚨 Invited speakers: M. Stroeber, G. D'Angelo and @christlet.bsky.social 📍 Centre Paul-Langevin, Aussois, France 📅 May 27–29, 2026 Get ready for exciting science!! Registration here exoendo.org/evenement/28...

Signed! One of the most important ways to make science more inclusive, IMO.

💥 New publication from the Demetriades and Nüchel groups– final version now online in EMBO reports! This Tour de force wouldn’t have worked out without the amazing support from our collaborators and core facilities!

If there must be an oath of allegiance, the Oath of the Aragonese lords is hard to beat. "We, who are as good as you, swear to you, who are no better than us, to accept you as our king and sovereign, provided you observe all our liberties and laws, but if not, no." "I si no, no" is my mantra.

Exciting to see this out in its final form! Wonderful work led by @probablycarmen.bsky.social. Want to know why protrusions are better at initiating immune signaling in #Tcells? Look no further. Link to Carmen’s 🧵 on the preprint bsky.app/profile/prob...

On April 19, 1898, Camillo Golgi first described what we now call the Golgi apparatus - a structure so striking and unusual that it took more than 50 years for scientists to accept it wasn’t just an artefact. April 19 is #GolgiDay! Celebrate the cell’s most iconic and best organelle.

How did eukaryotic cells get their Golgi, endosomes, lysosomes and other endomembrane compartments? We show that endomembrane evolution depends on long periods of neutral molecular exploration, punctuated by sudden leaps. New preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Preprint from @thattai.bsky.social provides an elegant solution to a profound question: How can evolution – driven by gene duplication, deletion, and mutations produce complex endomembrane systems? Punctuated Evolution of Endomembrane Compartments in Proto-Eukaryotes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🧬 Last call to join us in Cambridge for #EMBOMBoA26 (July 6th-10th)! We are just one week away from the registration and abstract submission deadline for the EMBO Workshop on the Molecular Biology of Archaea!

I feel relaxed

I am so happy to see @stedhammer.bsky.social last thesis chapter taking the shape of a publication. We looked into the role of the elusive GGAs cargo sorting adaptors. Alex‘s works hints at a role in the modulation of the binding of AP-1 adaptors to its clients #membranes #trafficking #CRISPR

The cell biology community mourns the loss of Catherine Rabouille, an exceptional scientist whose determination, innovation, and fearless engagement with ideas reshaped how we think about cellular organization. #InMemoriam from @adamgrieve.bsky.social and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Expansion microscopy of a loricate choanoflagellate, generated by Mylan Ansel in our lab 🤩 (yes, the lorica expands. No, we don't understand how either)

Our study on shape diversity in cnidarians is now published. The final version includes extensive new data that substantially extend the original bioRxiv preprint. Congrats to everyone who contributed to this work! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... @embl.org

#JobOffer We’re recruiting a tenure-track group leader working on cell metabolism (broadly defined, including lipid metabolism, organelle bioenergetics, etc.). Happy to chat informally about the department: great science, great people, and strong collaboration opportunities! Reposts appreciated 🙏

The perspective looks all wrong. You're staring straight at this barmaid, but her reflection in the mirror is way off to right. Even worse, her reflection is facing a guy who doesn't appear in the main view! But in 2000, a researcher showed this perspective is actually possible! (1/n)

India won their second cricket T20 World Cup in a row and I caught myself thinking: “Focused strategy, complementary expertise, efficient teamwork, ambitious objectives, coordinated execution, consistent performance, high-impact outcome…” Grant application in progress, obviously.

Best buddies? More like budding buddies 🪼👯‍♀️✨ Six stages of asexual budding in Hydra to generate new genetically identical individuals (clones). 🟣: collagen 🟢: stem cells. 📸 Image by Ben Cox #FluorescentFriday

I know this guy very well because it's me! 😅 Thank you for this great opportunity!

We are very proud to present our newest paper on the role of Wnt signalling in abscission dynamics in stem cells! A brief thread to entice you to read Snježana’s exciting foray into signalling.

I had fun writing this N&Vs on two fascinating new papers on centromere evolution in yeast. If you’re interested in how centromeres adapt yet stay functional, here’s my take. rdcu.be/e6DD0 @nature.com @gautamdey.bsky.social @gsherloc.bsky.social @helsenjana.bsky.social @maxhaase.bsky.social

My writing technique

A wonderful collection of contemporary topics and perspectives on secretion and Golgi biology edited by Akihiko Nakano and Jaakko Saraste. The Golgi Network, Volume II @SN and link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Sooo happy to share our new paper in @nature.com “CLCC1 promotes hepatic neutral lipid flux and nuclear pore complex assembly.” A terrific collaboration with @arrudalab.bsky.social, led by co–first authors Alyssa Mathiowetz and Emily Maymand. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is happening tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing all the #membranes enthusiasts on zoom!

Just a few days left for this application deadline!

Having just seen Gautam speaking in Edinburgh yesterday, can highly recommend!

📢 Institut Jacques Monod Seminar 📅 February 27th 📍 Institut Jacques Monod Invited by the @ishier.bsky.social, @gautamdey.bsky.social will present the Institut Jacques Monod seminar "Evolution and diversity of mitosis" ➡️ buff.ly/uCSfjgQ

🚨 We have a new preprint out! 🧪 In this paper we look at GLUT4 trafficking. This is a short explainer thread, but please read the paper! 1/n 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Cells come in many shapes and sizes, with diverse physiological functions. But how do #organelles and their interaction networks remodel during #differentiation of stem cells into different cell types? Here’s what we discovered about neuronal differentiation: 1/13

Nice preprint! We still don’t know how insulin-responsive GLUT4 storage vesicles (GSVs) are made. @steveroyle.bsky.social shows a subset of intracellular nanovesicles sort and retain GLUT4, supplying components that build these unique vesicles. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Cellularization flips the switch between multinucleate and multicellular states, and at least in opisthokonts, the group that includes animals and fungi, the toolkit + recipe are conserved. Another fun Dudin-Dey team-up with many in both labs and EMBL core facilities pitching in

I'm delighted to present TWO new preprints from my lab, led by @mczanellati.bsky.social and @sherryhsu.bsky.social, about how #organelles remodel throughout #NeuronalDifferentiation. Check out the threads about their papers below:

Our new paper's out: FidlTrack—structure-aware single-particle tracking benchmarks/boost SPT fidelity With it we resolve with sub-organelle res. e.g. BACE1 amyloidogenic APP cleavage #Alzheimers, ER exit events, map nanobody binding in realtime in ER/organelles 🔬🧠#SingleMolecule rdcu.be/e3Ris

Amazing science on beautiful Spetses 🤩

We need to teach PhD students how to write a great cover letter - one that links their research to a future lab’s goals, shows genuine enthusiasm, and clearly explains fit. It’s not a CV summary or a formality; it’s their first real conversation with future colleagues.

New paper by Kay Grobe and Seraphine Wegner @sfb1348.bsky.social @uni-muenster.de shows that the soluble factor Scube recruits proteases, protease inhibitors, and lipoproteins to the cell surface, where they release the #Sonic #Hedgehog morphogen www.nature.com/articles/s42... @commsbio.nature.com
