Excited to share Alison's @alisonkickuth.bsky.social paper from the lab out in @nature.com this week! We uncovered how a mechanical ratchet mechanism drives cytokinesis in early #zebrafish embryos. Read more in this thread 🧵 and at www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🤩 @poldresden.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de

The world has lost a true great. 😞

Researchers from #MPZPM and @mpiib-berlin.mpg.de have now compared the ratio of nuclear and cytoplasmic density in different organisms and come to a surprising conclusion: the cell nucleus in eukaryotes is less dense than the rest of the cell. 👉 mpzpm.mpg.de/news/news-de... #Physics #Medicine

📃 New paper alert! The Zychlinsky Lab and @raunser-lab.bsky.social identified the first protein that converts chromatin into an immune effector: Myeloperoxidase transforms chromatin into neutrophil extracellular traps. Now published in @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢 Voices in Infection Biology ☀️ We're back from summer break with a talk by Jan Skotheim from @stanford.edu, kindly hosted by @simonereber.bsky.social. 🗓️ Wednesday, September 10 🕓 4 pm 📍 on-site seminar (Berlin) Event info: www.mpiib-berlin.mpg.de/events/42144...

Patrick's paper is finally out, a label-free method to measure the composition of multicomponent biomolecular condensates!

🚨 Paper alert! Check out the latest work from the Reber Lab 📌 New research by @simonereber.bsky.social and @biswashere.bsky.social, now published in @natcomms.nature.com 🥳

It's here! It's out! AND It's become better 🐸 Our fundamental work on intracellular density distributions, how it influences cellular organisation & how deviations occur during pathophysiological states like senescence is out in @natcomms.nature.com Congratulations & thank you to the entire team!

🍹Kletter et al. show that cell state-specific cytoplasmic density controls spindle architecture and scaling in neural differentiation, suggesting that the physical properties of the cytoplasm are a determinant in #organelle size control. bit.ly/4mhMvsU

🚨 New paper alert: cytoplasm density controls spindle architecture and size. This shows for the first time that a physical property of the cytoplasm regulates the spindle. Congrats to @simonereber.bsky.social, @tobiaskletter.bsky.social and everyone who contributed. 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations to everyone involved!!!🎉🍾🤩 Fortunate to have contributed to this beautiful work demonstrating how cytoplasmic density tunes mitotic spindle architecture 🔬📈🐸

✨We are looking for a PhD student interested in physical cell bio, imaging 🔬, biochemistry, #Xenopus 🐸 & #microtubules ✨ Join us @mpiib-berlin.mpg.de!

Beautiful work by @mctwo.bsky.social investigating the spatio-temporal dynamics of the cytoplasm using label-free tools and 🐸 extracts! 🐸 + 🔬 + 📈 = ✨ w. @gucklab.bsky.social , @simonereber.bsky.social , @vasilyzaburdaev.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congrats to Mirko Pleitner for winning the FEBS Letters Poster Award! Mirko from the lab of @simonereber.bsky.social at @humboldtuni.bsky.social presented an excellent poster at the @embo.org @embl.org Symposium "Wild frontiers of model organisms". Thanks for the fantastic insights! #EESWildModels
