Wow!

Happy to share our latest publication: Production of human papillomavirus type 16 virus-like particles in #Physcomitrella #photobioreactors It's the first report on the production of #VLPs as #vaccine candidates in a non-vascular plant. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

1/ 🌱 When plants face stress, they often suppress growth to save resources. In our new Science Advances paper, we reveal how: plants repurpose their ER quality control machinery (ERAD) to regulate auxin compartmentalization and thus growth. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Thrilled to share our latest story on the ERAD machinery and how it controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES for acclimative growth www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Grateful to the Institute for Advanced Research (IAR) Nagoya for hosting my visiting scholar residency (FRIAS-IAR). We wrapped up with a hybrid talk, so thanks to everyone who joined, online and in person. Great discussion and new connections ahead of #ISPLORE2025JP @friasunifreiburg.bsky.social

Happy to see our latest #plantscience review by @aidamaric.bsky.social, @advaitagashe.bsky.social and Johanna onlinr! We describe how epigenetic mechanisms control ethylene signal generation and progression, and how ethylene in turn modulates chromatin. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What an amazing story by our SFB 1381 project A01- supported by projects Z01 and Z03!

🚨 Imagine a bacterium that refuses to follow the textbook: It grows as tangled filaments, divides unevenly, reshapes its own membranes… and even builds grappling hooks. Meet Litorilinea aerophila — and here’s why it blew our minds.

Congrats to our fantastic MSc student Johanna Söntgerath for winning best #plantscience Master Thesis of @uni-freiburg.de 🎉🥇Thanks to @aidamaric.bsky.social for leading the project and @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social for the award!

On August 14th, Andrea Proaño Vasco successfully defended her PhD in the group of Prof. Michael Quante! 🥳 Her dissertation focused on the effects of the local and distal microbiota on the development of gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Congrats, Dr. Proaño Vasco! All the best for your future! 🫶

Our SFB 1381/SGBM student Claudia Juraske successfully defending her thesis- congratulations and all the best for the future!

It's critical to switch off ethylene signalling once it has done its job during developmental transitions and stress acclimation. Excited to see this work led by @eleazarrodriguez.bsky.social now on BioRxiv. Happy @rimchaudhury15.bsky.social and I could contribute a bit to the story! #plantscience

Congrats to Claudia Juraske, who defended her PhD on August 8th under Prof. Wolfgang Schamel! Within @sfb1381.bsky.social, her research focused on T-cell receptor assembly dynamics and their engineering for cancer immunotherapy. All the best, Dr. Juraske! 🎓👏
