A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended #EESImaging 🙏

It was an enriching four-day symposium filled with high-level speakers, an enthusiastic crowd, fascinating insights, and amazing networking opportunities. We hope everyone found it beneficial and enjoyed the beautiful Heidelberg!

Medicine Nobel goes to scientists who revealed secrets of immune system ‘regulation’ Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi discovered cells that protect the body from autoimmune diseases.

This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for discovering a class of immune cells that help to prevent the body from attacking its own tissues. #medsky 🧪

Thank you, Andi😊!

Hydrophobic interactions of FG-nucleoporins are required for dilating nuclear membrane pores into selective transport channels after mitosis Nuclear envelope (NE) reformation after mitosis is essential for daughter cell viability and requires tightly coordinated nuclear pore complex (NPC) assembly and nuclear membrane reformation. To revea...

Excited to share the preprint from my postdoc work @ellenberglab.bsky.social! 🌟
During mitotic exit, cells rebuild thousands of nuclear pores within minutes. How do tiny holes expand to selective channels, and how is this coordinated with the nuclear envelope remodeling? 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Today in @nature.com we share our back-to-back stories with Ning Zheng’s lab revealing chemical-genetic convergence between a molecular glue degrader & E3 ligase cancer mutations. 1/5

Here's how to predict binding of tens or hundreds of small molecules to protein assemblies using Boltz 2 in ChimeraX.
Accuracy depends on how similar the ligands and binding pockets are to existing experimental structures.

Thank you Steffi and Veselin.

Static structures are out. A new publication from the Ellenberg lab ( @ellenberglab.bsky.social, @embl.org , @sfb1638.bsky.social ) and Andrej Sali shows how integrative spatiotemporal modeling captures molecular motion in 4D, unlocking dynamic views of nuclear pore complex assembly.

How chromosomes shape up for cell division | EMBL EMBL scientists have shown how overlapping loops of DNA stack upon each other in dividing cells to give rise to rod-shaped chromosomes

Did you know that DNA must form overlapping loops to give rise to the well-known X-shape of chromosomes? 🧬🧪

New research from EMBL's Ellenberg Group provides new insights into the process of chromosome formation.
