Join our crazy beautiful project of ExM Atlas !
One more position to fill, this time for a Research Technician at @embl.org in @gautamdey.bsky.social lab.

Come have fun with us !.

Transgene-free generation of mouse post-gastrulation whole embryo models solely from naive ESCs and iPSCs Hanna and colleagues show that signaling pathway modulation amplifies the inherent flexibility of genetically unmodified mouse naive PSCs to adopt extra-embryonic cell fate potential. This endows them...

1/n Fun journey continues: Our new @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social paper out on how the Inherent & Dormant Plasticity of Mouse Naive PSCs can be "Exaggerated" to Directly form ~E8.5 Transgene-Free (TF) Mouse SEMs & WITHOUT inducing 8-16-Morula-like "Embryo Founder Cells".

Take care will. !

This saga keeps on giving ! Congrats to the whole team.

Maybe you will find an #Ichthyosporean too @fburki.bsky.social ... keep your eyes open and good hunting !

Our first #Hydra paper. @anaisbailles.bsky.social all the way, with crucial theory contributions from Carl Modes and @zechnerlab.bsky.social Hydra maintenance by Heino Andreas and HCR by Giulia Serafini. Teamwork. Many thanks to the generous Hydra research community.

There is also one telling stories of the small town I grew up in, although I cant find it streaming freely, but its on many platform.

The wanted 18. Here is the trailer.

Many of you feel hopeless and #powerless - so take a moment to understand & learn more.

You are all invited to learn something new about #Palestine through #culture thid week ?

Not only these are good #documentaries / #movies...
they are our #reality.

Great Job Alex & Luke and co.!

Repressive cytosine methylation is a marker of viral gene transfer across divergent eukaryotes Abstract. Cytosine DNA methylation patterns vary widely across eukaryotes, with its ancestral roles being understood to have included both transposable ele

Happy to see our latest work out in @molbioevol.bsky.social. We revisit the evolution of 5-methylcytosine across neglected eukaryotic supergroups, establishing an ancestral repressive role silencing genome invaders, both transposons and viral elements👾: academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-... 🧵 1/7

Very happy to share our new paper where we develop CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing in our favorite unicellular relative of animals, Corallochytrium limacisporum! With @sebasn1.bsky.social @multicellgenome.bsky.social Elena and Claudio.

Congrats Guys !. Enjoy the bubbles

📢 Excited to share our new study in Nature Communications!
We show that the A-C linker safeguards centriole architecture & controls duplication. A big congratulations to Lorène for this beautiful discovery, which represents 4 years of her thesis work.

Thanks Mark :)

The Rigi Workshop 2026 (with the motto "Endless Forms Most Beautiful") will take place from 25 to 27 January 2026. PhD students and Post-docs can apply now!

🧪 The #RigiWorkshop is back - Apply now for 3 days of cell #biology in the Swiss Alps! Our guest speakers include @dudinlab.bsky.social, @michaelraissig.bsky.social, @annikaguse.bsky.social, @gautamdey.bsky.social & @jandevries.bsky.social. Details here 👉 biol.scnat.ch/rigiworkshop26

When you say better pictures, you do mean ExM, right ? Righhht ?

Tempting ! I think @gautamdey.bsky.social is though... have a drink for me.

Drop an email so I dont forget. I have tons of quotes and also happy to chat what exactly you are aiming for so I can guide you the best. Of course all based on my own testing...

LWD Water-immersion objectives
Image based sample finder
Multipoint/MultiZ
A couple tiny software things...

Happy to send you the specs.

We are growing! A new @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social widefield tailored for ExM- supported by @moorefound.bsky.social is settling! Another one is on its way at @gautamdey.bsky.social Lab !

These two will become the powerhorses for high-througput imaging of the ExM Atlas of #Microbial Eukaryote !

Awesome Mathias - I think we should talk. We are looking into a spot for some cool protists to find for some sampling and lab retreat ...

Stay safe Yaqub

All are invited to apply- Its just I'm unsure we can ensure students from outside CH can get ECTSs for this as we have no agreements with all the world doctoral schools sort of ... I hope it makes sense

Open

So for a couple of days on top of a Snowy #Swiss Mountain with a #Lake View

We will talk #Cell Biology, #Development & #Evolution.
We will also go #Sampling

With:

@gautamdey.bsky.social
@Susana Coelho
@jandevries.bsky.social
@lsaunders.bsky.social

Registrations are Open for the Rigi Workshop 2026, which I'm happy to co-organise with @michaelraissig.bsky.social

"Endless Forms Most Beautiful"

This is primarily intended for PhDs & Postdocs.
Only 30 spots available! So think fast !

Lets start a huge Poll across all platforms ? haha

Such a pleasure to be co-organising the #Latsis Symposium this year with Guillermina !

Thanks to all the speakers & sponsors.

And all our teams members who helped make this a reality.

It just felt right.
