Loved the friendly atmosphere and the gorgeous surroundings in Campinas @unicampoficial.bsky.social!

Huge thanks to the organizers!

It was a pleasure to deliver a course lecture together with Leonel @malacridalab.bsky.social on Phase separation at membrane interphases: Biomolecular condensates in Actions at
the 49th Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Biophysical Society
www.sbbf.org.br
Thanks to Antonio Costa Filho for organizing!

🎤 Sought-after everywhere! After delivering a great and crystal-clear talk at #BiomembraneDays2025 on asymmetric membranes in ternary mixtures, @markusdeserno.bsky.social also spoke in Barcelona. 🌍

🚀The #BiomembraneDays2025 concluded

🚀Science rocks!

Last talk in the #BiomembraneDays25 (before the best poster awards @lipotype.bsky.social ) is given by Thomas Weikl who explains nano-dome membrane deformations by #Piezo2
@mpici.bsky.social

Ilya @leventallab.bsky.social is clarifying the puzzles of biomembrane asymmetries amplifying our knowledge with comprehensive lipidomics
#BiomembraneDays25

The last session of the #BiomembraneDays25 starts with Petra Schwille presenting minimal systems for cell division
@comeincell.bsky.social
@syncelleu.bsky.social

Georg Pabst presented how lipid asymmetry in membranes can modulate the performance of proteins like OmpLA and the importance of ions regulating this
#BiomembraneDays25

Helge @ewerslab.bsky.social knows not only how to organize conferences (#BiomembraneDays25) but also how septins organize. Exceptional imaging #ExpansionMicroscopy of cytokinesis

Misha Kozlov presented a pressure/tension propagation model supported by the experiments of the lab of Raya Sorkin @sorkinlab.bsky.social
#BiomembraneDauys25
@comeincell.bsky.social

Rainer Böckmann expanded on the (never ending story) about the effect of cholesterol on bending rigidity of membranes
#BiomembraneDays25

Kandice @leventallab.bsky.social showed a great construct for resolving membrane organization around transmembrane domains
#BiomembraneDays25

Alf Honigman clarified condensation and receptor segregation at cell junctions at the #BiomembraneDays25

Padmini Rangamani enforced the theory talks at the #BiomembraneDays25 focusing on curvature generation by the glycocalyx

Giacomo Fiorin discusses role of cholesterol and asymmetry on membrane stiffness at the #BiomembraneDays25

Jan @steinkuehler.bsky.social is now exciting us with electrically excitable membranes at the #BiomembraneDays25

Yuka Sakuma brings back (long and short-range) viscosity into spotlight at the #BiomembraneDays25

Yuka Sakuma brings back (long and short-range) viscosity into spotlight at the #BiomembraneDays25

We start off the last day of the #BiomembraneDays25 with a lecture of Jay Groves on protein condensation at membranes.

Another welcome distraction from the dissertation awaits right next to the office: #BioMembraneDays25 are such a great gathering, spanning membrane and lipid #biophysics to physiology. The food is outstanding too 🤗. Thanks to organizers @ewerslab.bsky.social @dimovalab.bsky.social and Thomas Weikl!

Petia Vlahovska explained the contributions of viscous dissipation to membrane fluctuations and their increasing importance in analyzing data from small vesicles and interpretation of #NSE data

Seraphine Wegner showed how to make membranes talk - light-based communication at the #BiomembraneDays25

@sigsyncell.bsky.social @comeincell.bsky.social

Omer Dushek @tcell.bsky.social starts the afternoon session of the #BiomembraneDays25 with a talk on CAR-T cell sensitivity and optimization

Puzzling temperature-responsive membrane rods in cells now presented by Oliver Rocks with work by @pm-mueller.bsky.social at the #BiomembraneDays25

The stunning results have to be credited to my great former and current group members!
@mpici.bsky.social @mangiarotti.bsky.social

Second morning session starts with Ewa Paluch sharing her insight in the control of cell shape. #BiomembraneDays2025

Lu Tiemei just presented her work from the @spruijtlab.bsky.social showing coacervate wetting and penetrating membranes
