“we used mini organs, specifically mini-intestines, and infected them with a dangerous bacterium called Shigella” says @mldm.bsky.social‬ @sellinlab.bsky.social‬ (SciLifeLab & @uu.se) shows that cultured mini-organs can uncover how pathogens cause disease youtu.be/xG_66ZGd_fk

Planning to apply for #research #funding from the ERC? From the next application rounds, expect changes to the: • proposal structure • evaluation process • extra funding you can request • eligibility for Starting & Consolidator #Grants (from 2027) More 👇 europa.eu/!RPHWvv

New pre-print in the lab! Beautiful work by Francisco Garcia-Rodriguez in collab with @kamovalenz.bsky.social and @joaquinbernal.bsky.social : when macrophages are provided with specific nutrients, Salmonella can bypass its requirement of the T3SS to replicate, a process that occurs within the SCV

Salmonella relies on siderophore exploitation at low pH https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.06.652355v1

FYI, Salmonella people: Salmonella online conference - 2nd edition. salmonellaconference.com Great line of speakers.

Excitement plus!! The full program is online for the upcoming GRC Salmonella Biology and Pathogenesis meeting. There is still some room in the schedule for short talks, which will be chosen from submitted abstracts. Submit your abstract, if you haven't done so already. www.grc.org/salmonella-b...

Our latest contribution with a Comment in Nature Reviews Cancer (@natrevcancer.bsky.social) on the insidious contribution of Salmonella to gallbladder and colon cancers

Very thoughtful memoriam for Mike: rupress.org/jcb/article/... I feel truly fortunate to have witnessed some of his magic firsthand.

For those of us living below sea level, it's time to sign up for the Dutch Society for Cell Biology Meeting. Amazing line of speakers! (see preliminary program) Sign up here: cell-biology.nl. PS: highlanders also welcome ;)

Je partage ici le message d'un collègue argentin a qui je demandais des news. Glaçant 😱! La Méthode Milei (bel euphémisme gerbant) démantèle éducation&recherche, cible les savoirs qui comme aux US, gênent politiquement: climat&écologie, justice env. Le fascisme s'installe. Sommes-ns a l'abri en 🇪🇺?

Long in the making but our protocol for gene editing is online! FAB CRISPR is super easy and allows the generation of N and C terminal fusions with TurboID, SNAP, Halo and mStayGold. A single cloninf step to generate HDR templates! arxiv.org/abs/2502.12675 1/n

We are live on Bluesky! Looking forward to sharing some great science :)

Share with Academics and Researchers in every areas of Science and Academia Dear Colleagues in the USA, We wish to express our unwavering support for you during these alarming times. From our positions as #researchers and #academics in Europe #academia

Deeply saddened by the passing of Prof. Mike Sheetz, a true leader in Mechanobiology. His groundbreaking work on Kinesin, membrane organization, and mechanotransduction has left an indelible mark. A tremendous loss to science. #Mechanobiology #Science #LaskerAward

My first science post here on BlueSky is a long one. Setting the contrarian tone from the very beginning, I take strong issue with the recent op-ed by Charles Piller published in the January 24th NY Times on #Alzheimer's disease (nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...)

Just discovered the Lab Culture Recipes project—celebrating the international and multicultural spirit of science by sharing scientists' favorite recipes from around the globe. Such a brilliant idea! 🍳🌍 👉 www.labculturerecipes.com

Exciting news! #MembraneTrafficking online seminars with @felixmendu.bsky.social @franbottanelli.bsky.social and me are back! Check the spectacular Jan-April 2025 lineup. Details (Zoom links, calendar invites) on the mailing list, Slack group & website: felixcampelo.wixsite.com/membranetraf...

Expansion microscopy really looks like a Monet.

Hi Folks! What topics would you love to see explored in a roundtable discussion at a cell biology meeting? I’d like to hear what excites the community and see if we can make it happen.

Good to see the New York Times discussing the likelihood of polio, whooping cough and measles outbreaks.

Happy to share our latest preprint on dormant #Salmonella and the role of SifA for intravacuolar nutrition! Thanks to all the co-authors!

McGill University, Institute of Parasitology is hiring. Great opportunity. mcgill.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/McGill...

"Don't forget to highlight the groundbreaking aspect"

Yeah! Leigh @leighknodler.bsky.social is in da place!! 🤩 Follow, follow, follow!

This set of mutants strains lacking different combinations of Salmonella Effector proteins is innovative… Will be VERY useful for the Salmonella research field… #microsky

🚨🚨🚨 Call is now open!!! Deadline approaching... Wanna become our new beloved colleague and be part of a stimulating (and friendly) scientific community ??? We are perfectly located in beautiful Paris with exciting work environment and state-of-the-art core facilities APPLY 👇👇👇👇👇

Thank you Di Chen and Maximilano Gutierrez for writing this nice JCB spotlight on our recent work on uncovering lysosome heterogeneity with multiplexed DNA-Paint imaging. @jcellbiol.bsky.social rupress.org/jcb/article/...

GDR AQV and GDR IMABIO @gdrimabio.bsky.social are joining forces to organise a workshop on new quantitative imaging stategies. Thursday January 26 2025 at Institut Jacques Monod @IJMonod. Many slots for oral communications are still available! newmic4cellbio2.sciencesconf.org

Super excited to be at Pasteur next Friday :)

Mark your calendar ER_2025 - OCT 8-10, 2025 in Paris #ER_literature

I've posted it a few days ago on X, but, well, here we go again: Our latest work on how Salmonella can drive host cell transformation and cancer progression is out in Cell Reports! Here's a breakdown of the story (1/9) 🧵 www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Idea of the day: When wondering how good your talk title sounds, ask ChatGPT to make an image of it. I got that. I guess I'll keep that title :)

📢The Research Training Group 2771 – Humans and Microbes invite you to their International Symposium on Cell and Structural Biology of Host Pathogen Interaction in Sep 2025 at the CSSB in Hamburg, Germany. 🦠Check it out! 👉https://humansandmicrobes2025.de/ #Cells #Pathogens #Infections

#membrane seminars are back next week Thu Nov 21st! Great line up! All about ER export in mammals and plants!

Salmonellae freshly arrived on BlueSky and looking for new friends (based on confocal imaging)
