🔬 Don’t hesitate to join this new lab ! Super cool science and inspiring young group leader !! ☺️👇

New paper from the @rouxlab.bsky.social on Nature Communications! We study how membrane tension is spatially organized in cells. Using the mechanosensitive probe Flipper-TR to visualize tension across the plasma membrane of adherent cells and to dissect the conditions needed for a gradient to happen

📢 New preprint ! Please check if you are interested in the comparison between 2d and 3d nematic theories 🤔 I show that the 2d description can lead to artefacts on curved surfaces, and I propose a thin film description of nematic shells with full 3d orientation ! This was a funny summer project 😊

Why would Mycobacterium shed its surface right after entering a host cell? Host phagocytes rapidly strip its outer layer, releasing components that alert neighbors and trigger defense responses Our preprint is out, curious to hear your take! 👀 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Maria Tettamanti shows that inhibition of TORC2 by the small amphipath PalmC induces the TORC2-dependent internalization of sterols. Congrats to Maria and all coworkers involved, and to EMBOj for the efficient review process: use review commons! @biology-unige.bsky.social @sciencesunige.bsky.social

What an intense journey ! Congrats Dr D’Amico 🥳

🤓 Being part of this panel of participants was super enriching ! Thanks again @tlemberger.bsky.social and @embo.org !

Last week was a fantastic opportunity for @lucasceseti.bsky.social to share his work on Xanthomonas and Dicty at #ETOX25 🦠 The Basque Country was the place to hear great science on toxins🤩

Last week’s ESCRT meeting was full of great science and engaging discussions! 🤩 Such a great place to share our work on ESCRT during Mycobacterium marinum infection 🦠

🚨 Great story released by @gm-charriere.bsky.social and co.! They identified and characterised a natural interaction between amoebae and Vibrio, pointing to Paramoeba as a potential reservoir of oyster pathogens 🦪 Congrats! 🥂 enviromicro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🤩 Last week I successfully defended my PhD! It was such a special day, made even better by having friends, family, and colleagues there with me. Thanks for all the support and kind words! Huge thanks to my jury members for the thoughtful feedback and conversations. @soldatilab.bsky.social

What better way to wrap up the Soldati tour than with a fantastic talk from @mel-foulon.bsky.social? 🎤 She enjoyed “shedding” her enthusiasm for Myco lipids with such a brilliant crowd of passionate scientists at #EMBOcellBioHostPath! 🧫✨

Every spike in this photo is a single crystal💠 — an ordered atomic array grown layer by layer. These crystals of transition metal chalcogenide halide doesn’t occur naturally; we built it atom by atom⚛️. Single crystals, which are always chemically pure, allow us to characterise physical properties

Yesterday, @nabilhanna3.bsky.social had the fantastic opportunity to present one of his projects during another vibrant and successful poster session at #EMBOcellBioHostPath! 👏 Stay tuned for @mel-foulon.bsky.social ‘s talk

🤩 Great start to the #EMBOcellBioHostPath! Justine had the honor of kicking off the Soldati lab presentations with her fantastic poster! Not too late to catch up if you missed it! 📍Stay tuned for @nabilhanna3.bsky.social poster tomorrow and @mel-foulon.bsky.social talk on Thursday!

Show us your creativity and the beauty of Science 😙🥰 Send us your scientific image for the Image contest that we will do in the Postdoc Day :) There will be amazing prizes! #FluorescenceFriday #MicroscopyMonday #ScientificArt #SciArt

🚨 Last week to submit abstracts for talks & posters! Show your research, win prizes & enjoy surprises 🎉 Register here: ‘’ shorturl.at/eOmJt ‘’

Did you know the cell wall of mycobacteria isn’t just for protection? 🧱👀 Here, Mycobacterium marinum sheds its outer capsule right after being eaten by Dicty! A sneaky move that affects even nearby cells… #FluorescenceFriday #Mycobacteria #CellBiology #Infection #3Rmodels #Phagocytosis

Bacteria have a simple yet potent mechanism that controls their sensitivity to environmental stimuli. A new study by researchers led by @erikvannimwegen.bsky.social @biozentrum.unibas.ch shows: the slower cells grow, the more sensitively they respond to their environment.

Congratulations to Dr. @guallar-garrido.bsky.social on her new lecturer position at the Autonomous University of Barcelona! She will keep working on mycobacteria using amoeba host model. Best of luck on this exciting new chapter! 👏🔬✨

Excited to share our last study. Huge congrats to Sarah Monard, Arnaud Métais, @gclugo.bsky.social, @chrisverollet.bsky.social and all colleagues! We have found a mysterious cell type inside TB lung lesions that seems neuron-like but isn't quite a nerve cell. Let's dive in👇 shorturl.at/x4Sb5

Happy to share our last paper published in mBio. A new APEX story !! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Excited to have contributed to this fascinating study led by Rafael Prados Rosales! Uncovers how M. tuberculosis regulates extracellular vesicle production via VirR, shedding light on cell envelope remodeling & potential therapeutic targets! #MicroSky @elife.bsky.social doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Finally out! 🎉 Really happy to share my first co-author paper! It was wonderful to work with @aliperri.bsky.social , and huge thanks to @xaviertrepat.bsky.social for the opportunity to be part of this project. Grateful to the whole team for making this happen! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1/7: New paper alert! Excited to share our co-first author paper on Micro Immune Response On-chip (MIRO) a model that recreates the tumour-stroma interface for immunotherapy testing! @oriolmb.bsky.social and I wrote this thread to break it down for you. 👇🧵 Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

ESCRT-III is an ancient complex, present in Archaea, with only two proteins and all membrane remodelling functions. Great work by @javierespadas.bsky.social, @diorgeps.bsky.social, @sami-c.bsky.social, thanks to the @buzzbaum.bsky.social lab! Drawing by Julie Polge. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It's crazy all the remaining that still to be explored 🧑‍🚀🦖''Ten species comprise half of the bacteriology literature, leaving most species unstudied'' by Paul Jensen www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to share my first ever (co)last author paper 🥳 reporting on how Mtb adapts its carbon diet under acid stress. A big thank you to my partners in crime @saehrt.bsky.social and @healycl.bsky.social without who this would not have been possible 😘 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

After a BioRxiv preprint, here is the final published version of our article dealing with the ph-driven mode of action of salicylic acid derivatives @pierresantucci.bsky.social @canaanlab.bsky.social and more febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Would you prefer to lead a lab alone or together with a science buddy? How interesting would be a research institute where joint labs are the standard?!

Following the news that eLife will not receive an Impact Factor in 2025, we’ve shared an update on how our model is doing since we were first placed “on hold” by Web of Science, and what we’re up to now. Find out more. https://buff.ly/3ATRAFT

Beautiful way to start here 😍
