If you are in Barcelona next Friday (20th) morning, pass by the PRBB to learn about #MembraneTension dynamics from Erdem Karatekin!

Postdoc job alert at Institut Jacques Monod in Paris! Interested in fundamental membrane trafficking? We seek a postdoc to study collagen secretion as a model for core principles of how cells and their environment build each other. emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

Please share!!! I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join us. Focus will be on exciting collaborative projects on lipids and membrane biology, pushing the boundaries of in silico "reconstitutions". Previous experience with molecular dynamics simulations of biological systems a strong plus!

Una magnífica notícia amb un titular nefast de La Ser. RIP treball en equip 😔 Sort que hi ha qui dona visibilitat a l’equip. La comunicació científica també ha d’explicar com treballen els equips de recerca. #SciComm #biaix

Join us this Thursday (Jan 29) at 5pm CET for the first #MembraneTrafficking seminars of 2026, featuring two outstanding scientists, Giovanni D'Angelo (EPFL) and Sean Munro (@cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social), and the shared topic of protein trafficking, retention & sorting at the #Golgi 🥞

👇👇👇👇

Two PhD positions just opened in the Gallego lab at our department @melisupf.bsky.social @upf.edu @prbb.org! #MembraneTrafficking in cryo-tolerant systems, with wet lab and computational projects available. Come do cool (and cold 😉) science with Oriol in Barcelona!

Please share🙏: Our lab opens 2 PhD positions to investigate fungi's evolution: #Barcelona Wet lab in Biochemistry/Structural Biology of cryo-tolerant fungi www.upf.edu/documents/d/... Computational in Physical Chemistry of cellular processes under extrem environments www.upf.edu/documents/d/...

Very happy that our "ExHOS in action" was selected! Thanks a lot @prbb.org , credit goes to Dylan Godfrey🙌

🔬 Aquesta imatge 3D forma part d’un estudi de @melisupf.bsky.social  que revela noves perspectives sobre l’exocitosi, amb un possible impacte en com els patògens aprofiten la secreció cel·lular. 👉

I’ll soon share a call for a postdoc at Institut Jacques Monod (Paris) on fundamental mechanisms of membrane traffic and protein/collagen secretion in health and disease. Please get in touch if interested.

Good job, guys! 🙌🏻

We are looking for a Bioinformatician (both graduate and postdoctoral levels) to join our lab. Please help us spread the word about this opportunity! Applicants should submit their motivation letter, full CV and academic record to Juan R. Martínez-Morales: [email protected]

Check out our new paper on exocytosis continuum architecture!! Only an incredible and multidisciplinary team made this possible.

Now online! Continuum architecture dynamics of vesicle tethering in exocytosis

Check out this animation and thread from @gallegolab.bsky.social on the mechanism of #Exocytosis Truly remarkable work! They did it all! 😱

#Research 1/📦 Scientists uncover the tiny machine that delivers essential molecular packages to the cell surface This fundamental activity for maintaining healthy cells has been revealed by combining cutting-edge microscopy techniques and artificial intelligence www.upf.edu/web/focus/w/...

0/10 🥳 our #exocyst paper out in @cp-cell.bsky.social, led by Marta, Sebas & @sasmeek.bsky.social in collab with @jonasries.bsky.social, @cmanzo.bsky.social & Castaño-Díez labs #Quantitative_Cell_Biology Continuum architecture dynamics of vesicle tethering in exocytosis www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

New preprint from the lab!!🎉 We show that Asgard archaea ESCRT-III proteins can trigger membrane fission and reveal its molecular mechanism, offering clues to how these cells may have built internal compartments. But do these organisms even have these compartments? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our new paper is published in the Journal of Chemical Biology! 🏮 We share StayRose, a red version of StayGold 🏮 StayRose has an unnatural amino acid-based chromophore, and has the same immense photobleach-resistance as StayGold 💡

MIRO is a graph neural network method that enhances spatial clustering for single-molecule localisation microscopy datasets. #BiotechNatureComms @cmanzo.bsky.social @qubilab.bsky.social @giovannivolpe.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Looks like OpenFold3 has been formally released in a public "preview". Not quite on parity with AlphaFold3 on a few benchmarks shown, in particular for antibody interactions. All info on the github link. I am sure we will hear more about this from the developers github.com/aqlaboratory...

Calling all #Membrane enthusiasts! Our #MembraneTrafficking online seminar series is back for the 2025-26 season: 8 fantastic speakers from Nov'25 to Feb'26. The first talks are already next Thursday (Nov 6, 5pm CET) with @agatawitkowska.bsky.social and @abdourachidthiam.bsky.social !

Attention membrane traffickers! I'm recruiting a post-doc to my lab in Dundee. We're dissecting the functions of intrinsically disordered domains of COPII coat proteins. We think they control timing of coat assembly and morphology of carriers. www.dundee.ac.uk/work-for-us/...

Great story, Magnaporthe orysae, biogenesis of the apressorium and assymetric distribution of organelles... And all is very well explained. Congrats!

Interested in imaging protein suprastructures and membranes dynamics in situ? You also happen to be preoccupied by the exocyst? Read our latest preprint where we time-resolved the choreography of a flexible exocyst higher-order structure and the vesicle in exocytosis www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Did you know that transcription start sites harbor a huge excess of germline variants? Turns out this is driven by (divergent) transcription, mitotic, but not meiotic(!), double-strand breaks and early mosaic variants. Read the full story here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
