We (@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social @margotraffeiner.bsky.social @shanshuo.bsky.social) had a fantastic #2025ISMPMI in Cologne with lots of amazing science and great networking meeting old friends and new ones. Hope to see you all next time in Jeju/South Korea #2027ISMPMI

It is depressing to be at an international conference and have everyone be like “what is going on over there”. 🫠 Not exactly making America great.

Next in the concurrent session “spatial and temporal session” is @type3lab.bsky.social who will talk about their amazing findings on distinct pseudomonas subpopulations that cooperate to colonize plants #2025ISMPMI

If you wanna dive into the world of #proteostasis and its role in plant immunity, visit @margotraffeiner.bsky.social poster (P-405) today. She discovered a novel proteotoxicity regulator (a protease with ubiquitin binding capacities) that plays a role in biotic and abiotic stresses! #2025ISMPMI

Happy to meet you at poster no. P-405 and to talk about my project at #2025ISMPMI this afternoon! 🌿

Last day of #2025ISMPMI, last poster session: dont miss @shanshuo.bsky.social fantastic poster about how we used a combination of scRNAseq and cell-type specific approaches to reveal the role of autophagy in stomatal & mesophyll immunity during Pseudomonas infection - more info ➡️ P-432 #proteostasis

Hannah @mcmicrobes.bsky.social will start her own lab in 2026 (congrats a lot 🥳)- watch out for some job postings in the future - she will continue to work on heat stress and the effect on leaf-microbioata! #2025ISMPMI

Sheng Yang leaves the stage for @mcmicrobes.bsky.social who continues to talk about her exciting results on how abiotic stress impacts the leaf-microbiome #2025ISMPMI

We start the last day of #2025ISMPMI with Renier van der Hoorn who will present his pioneering work on how pathogens manipulate apoplastic defence

#2025ISMPMI Manuel Gonzalez Fuente from the Üstün lab shows how pathogens like Pseudomonas target p bodies with effectors HopM1 and HopN1. ER stress induction by HopM1 counteracts p bodies.

Enjoying the free afternoon in Cologne at #2025ISMPMI with @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social @margotraffeiner.bsky.social and Christa 🥂

Thank you very much Carmen! 🙏

Thanks a lot :)

A person presenting a scientific talk showing a slide quantifying P bodies through microscopy

@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social explains that eukaryote P bodies contain translationally inactive RNAs.

Do pathogens induce the formation of these? Yes!

How? Effectors!… that repress ER stress response.

Why? Make plants susceptible by reducing translation of immunity genes.
#2025ISMPMI

Now @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social is on stage presenting his exciting project on p-bodies, and how bacteria utilize them to attenuate host translation #proteostasis #2025ISMPMI

It's okay, you have already seen it 😅
But we are sad that you couldn't join this year... Hope to coincide again soon!

If you want to hear about our latest work at @suaybuestuen.bsky.social's lab on pathogen manipulation of host translation and P-bodies at #2025ISMPMI, pass by my presentation today at 12:20 in the concurrent session "Effector interference mechanism" (Room M+N).

Great to see @geminiteamlab.bsky.social and @bactodeath.bsky.social presenting a lot of unpublished data, new concepts and approaches in plant-microbe interactions! This should be the spirit at this meeting! Very cool plenary session at #2025ISMPMI

@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social will talk about how bacteria exploit P-bodies to attenuate host translation

@margotraffeiner.bsky.social presents a novel proteotoxicity regulator and its role in plant immunty

@shanshuo.bsky.social will emphasize the role of autophagy in stomatal immunity

If you’re interested in the role of #proteostasis in plant immunity and how pathogens manipulate it visit our contributions at #2025ISMPMI

@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social will talk on Tuesday in the effector interference session

@shanshuo.bsky.social (P-432)

@margotraffeiner.bsky.social (P-405)

We made it to cologne (shortest trip to an MPMI ever 😆) looking forward to some great science! #2025ISMPMI #theustunlab

Thanks a lot Sabine!
And yeah, I'm also coming to MPMI this year, so great to know we can catch up in person soon. Looking forward to it! 🙌

Another amazing conference ended - was great to attend two amazing sessions on #proteostasis and #condensates - with @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social having a double feature and winning the Yound Scientist Award in the cell section of @sebiology.bsky.social next stop: IS- MPMI in Cologne! #2025ISMPMI

Thanks a lot Dan!!! And thank you for the reference letter that made it possible 🙏

Thank you very much! This wouldn't have been possible without your constant and valuable support and mentorship! It is definitely a shared prize!

Honoured to receive the #YoungScientistAward from the @sebiology.bsky.social in the Cell section at the Antwerp conference. Thank you for this amazing recognition — I’m truly grateful!

We‘re ready for the #SEBconference Award Dinner 🤩 @sebiology.bsky.social @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social

Next in the condensation session is our own from @theustunlab.bsky.social @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social who talks how bacteria exploit p-body condensation to suppress protein translation #proteostasis #immunity - see also our preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It's happening now! @suaybuestuen.bsky.social is presenting now at @sebiology.bsky.social such an amazing work on how plants cope with proteotoxicity!! 🌱#proteostasis

Heading to Antwerp to attend the #SEBconference ‪ @sebiology.bsky.social ‬to present our latest findings (see latest version of our paper here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....) how 🌱 cope with proteotoxicity in the #proteostasis session (C1.11). Hope to see you all there!
