The curious case of streptavidin–biotin: a non-covalent bond. Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy: “SA-b bond breaks in 1s at equilibrium” SA-b at equilibrium: “Not really, More like 1-10 Days.” (Answer: nobody—we were just pulling way too fast (far from equilibrium)) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A few weeks ago, I gave a talk on our (and other's) efforts towards open microscopy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yixv.... Thanks for the invite @makertobey.bsky.social and LibreHub!

We first had a dynamic logo for @dynamo-lab.bsky.social that was quite cool...

Our work on Modulation of SARS-CoV-2 spike binding to ACE2 through conformational selection is finally out rdcu.be/eqjgb . Work led by Prithwidip Saha, Claire Valotteau, Fidan Sumbul and Ignacio Fernandez. Thank you for 5 years of work @virusfusion007.bsky.social @trs90.bsky.social Charlie Gosse

1/14 “Epithelial” & “Mesenchymal” aren’t binary categories—they form a spectrum, or better yet, a multidimensional space. This becomes especially clear in collective cell migration, which often depends on a finely tuned degree of “mesenchymal-ness”. #cellbio #devbio #cellmigration

A new study originating from the #MBL proposes that physical forces encouraged the evolution of multicellular life! 🦠 Follow the link to read more about Stentor, a single-celled organism that could offer an early model for multicellularity. 📲 More: bit.ly/4cilZvV
