ER exit sites are dynamic ER subdomains that integrate signals, reshape membranes and steer secretion. Twelve groups in the field came together to map their diversity, regulation, unanswered questions and future directions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Pleasure to announce the program of my new series of lectures at the College de France in Nov-Dec. Continuing on the theme of Biological information. I will focus on the computational aspects, building on David Marr's tri-level of analysis in biological systems. YouTube link sent when it starts.

Can pressure gradients persist over long timescales in animal cells? We induced intracellular pressure gradients and examined the resulting flows in single cells. We reveal surprisingly long lasting pressure gradients. More here: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

If I could change one thing about #ScientificPublishing I'd ask funding bodies to stipulate all work they fund be published in non-profit journals. The knock-on effects would alleviate most of the strain on #AcademicSky. This isn't hard. It's big, but actually, it's pretty easy. 1/n

Nice preprint from Basto lab (Curie)! Polyploid Drosophila salivary gland cells eliminate centrosomes via novel MyoII- and autophagy-dependent exocytosis: preserves mitochondrial function and supports high metabolic demands. Interesting secretory autophagy pathway! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It always surprises me that young people know about Watson and Crick but not about Jacob and Monod when the contribution of the latter is, imo, of bigger significance and creativity than the other's which would have been found sooner or later. Not so much of the day #GRN framework.

One of the most exciting discoveries from our lab so far is now online as a preprint! Read a story on how the ParMR and Min systems started to collaborate to create the CorMR cytoskeleton, which now controls cell shape in multicellular cyanobacteria: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

“researchers do exactly what they are supposed to do, [..]thinking freely and exploring new ideas [..]. Enabling [.] experts to study everything and to push the boundaries of human knowledge in every direction is how vital, and unexpected, discoveries are made. The more we learn, the more we know.”
