Looking forward to an exciting @sfb1348.bsky.social seminar with Lucia Baldauf @ucl.ac.uk on January 8, 2026. She will speak about "Illuminating Forces in Living Tissues". More info: www.uni-muenster.de/SFB1348/en/i... Everyone's welcome!

Interested in working in an exciting project on morphogenesis, in a great environment for imaging? 🪰🔬

Super proud to be part of SFB1348 — and excited to share that I now officially have my own lab in Münster! 🎉🪰 We’ll study #cellbio & #morphogenesis, focusing on organ sculpting and #chirality in #Drosophila. I’ll soon hire my first #PhD student — feel free to reach out! #juniorPI #Science #devbio

Dynamic cellular interfaces reloaded!🎉 Happy and excited to receive extended funding @sfb1348.bsky.social @uni-muenster.de @mpi-muenster.bsky.social and to push our collaborative science forward in the next 4 years! Big thanks @dfg.de, reviewers, and everyone else involved for the continued support!

Job Alert! The Institute for Neuro- and Behavioural Biology at the Faculty of Biology @uni-muenster.de invites applications for a Full Professorship (W3) in “Systems Neuroscience” - Highly attractive research environment at the Multiscale Imaging Center. Apply by January 5th. See shorturl.at/VczFp

Excited to embark on this scientific journey with Ewa Paluch and Daniel StJohnston to understand fundamentals of epithelial tissue and cell shapes! Thank you to @erc.europa.eu for the support!

Mark your calendars! The next SFB 1348 International Meeting will take place in #Münster from May 27-29, 2026, with a focus on #Mechanochemical signals at cellular interfaces. Stay tuned for more details and updates at www.uni-muenster.de/SFB1348/en/m...

Approximately 14,000 visitors attended the “Lange Nacht der Universitätsmedizin Münster”, which marked the highlight of the anniversary year celebrating 100 years of the Faculty of Medicine and the University Hospital. www.uni-muenster.de/Cells-in-Mot... @sfb1348.bsky.social @uni-muenster.de

Besuchen Sie uns zur „Langen Nacht der Unimedizin Münster“ am 12. September 2025! Zahlreiche Forschungsgruppen aus der Zell-Dynamik- und Imaging-Community der @uni-muenster.de und @sfb1348.bsky.social öffnen ihre Labore für die Öffentlichkeit! lange-nacht-muenster.de

Super cool work from our institute!

Supracellular control and coordination of tissue morphogenesis, through supracellular actomyosin assemblies, that is what my lab @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social @pdncambridge.bsky.social and I like to dig into at the moment! Fascinating and beautiful! journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

pYtags - our in vivo biosensors for receptor tyrosine kinases - in all their beauty on the cover of Cell Reports! Read more here: www.cell.com/cell-reports...

🥁 New article 📢: #Mechanobiology of #development during #Drosophila #gastrulation using #Brillouin microscopy, now in @natcomms.nature.com : rdcu.be/ev6ZX Collab. w/ @Prevedel_Lab @embl.org , Maria Leptin @marialep.bsky.social, @abhisha-thayambath.bsky.social, Julio Belmonte @ncstate.bsky.social

Using a simple model – #FruitFly eggs – biologist @theajacobs.bsky.social is investigating how cells build connections, and thus form tissues that only allow certain substances or cells to pass through. Here, she provides insight into her day-to-day research. @sfb1348.bsky.social uni.ms/d3ry0

Neurobiologist Bente Winkler @b-wink.bsky.social investigates how the brain reacts to #neuroinflammation. For this, she is using genetically modified #Drosophila flies that enable an artificial activation of the immune system. Read more: uni.ms/48q7k

Exciting @sfb1348.bsky.social with Katja Rust (Philipps-University Marburg) on Thursday. She will speak about "A single-cell analysis of Hh and EGFR-RAS: Independent signaling pathways prevent tumorigenesis". More information: www.uni-muenster.de/SFB1348/en/i... Everyone is welcome!

It’s #FluorescenceFriday again! @maikbischoff.bsky.social encouraged me to post more beautiful images, so I hope you enjoy this image of Ajuba at Tricellular Junctions in #Drosophila 🪰 want to know more? Click here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

🥰 Self-supervised, label-free 3D cell imaging is here Congrats to Cyril on this very cool first, first author publication 🏆! This started when he was a bachelor's student (and he's now completing his masters!). And many thanks to my other awesome co-authors🙏 elifesciences.org/articles/99848

Just one week to go ⏳ until the "Cellular Interfaces Across Scales: From Molecules to Tissue Dynamics" meeting @sfb1348.bsky.social @uni-muenster.de We can't wait to see you there! crc1348-conference.ycode.site #DynamicCellularInterfaces #Münster

Great Dispatch article by @tarafinegan.bsky.social on our new paper by @theajacobs.bsky.social in @currentbiology.bsky.social - thanks for condensing our findings so clearly and nicely! Epithelial biology: Holding the corners together: shorturl.at/cMziC @sfb1348.bsky.social @uni-muenster.de

This dot is a region that intersect multiple cell junctions in an epithelia. These dots act as tiny anchors of cell contacts and they’re critical for epithelial coherence during homeostasis AND development. I’m @katecavanaugh.bsky.social and I’ll be your guide on this 🧵 about tricellular vertices.

Paris Now #StandUpForScience @standupforscience.bsky.social @standupforscifr.bsky.social compliments of sulekh.bsky.social one of our postdocs!

Some happy news. Pleased to see our paper showing how afadin strengthens cytoskeletal engagement by the cadherin-catenin cell adhesion complex out in Science Advances: bit.ly/3EFpD6h

#science - in the light of potential enshittification of #PubMed - Ihere's an European alternative to PubMed - www.europepmc.org It's not censored or brought down by would-be-dictators.🧪

Our new paper by @theajacobs.bsky.social in @currentbiology.bsky.social shows how relaxation of tension, rather than active actomyosin-based force, allows opening of cell #vertices to increase #epithelial permeability shorturl.at/Wnb2n @sfb1348.bsky.social @uni-muenster.de

It's always mesmerizing seeing how these group of cells move. ℹ️Border cells invading through nurse cells ℹ️Drosophila S9 egg chambers

#fluorescentfriday with a Drosophila ovariole stained for E-Cad (cyan) and F-Actin (magenta). We use the follicle epithelium as a model to study junction remodelling and barrier formation. Check out our preprint on how Rok regulates paracellular permeability: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

5/ 🐣 With this technology at hand, we build the Virtual Embryo Zoo (virtual-embryo-zoo.sf.czbiohub.org), a showcase of cell-tracking datasets from 6 model organisms, including zebrafish and Drosophila. Explore them interactively, trace lineages, and download tracking data for further analysis! 🐠🐭
