My first preprint! We combined chemical kinetics with elasticity to study the dynamic assembly/disassembly of shape-shifting composite filaments that sculpt cell membranes 🌀 Joint forces with Andela Saric @ivanpla, @Lab_Baum and Roux Lab Anna Pfitzner ➡️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is blowing people’s minds, so as an amateur historian and sociologist I’m going to try to explain this development/ cultural artifact.

Evolution of Ub - ESCRT-I - ESCRT-II! Great collaboration MohanBalasubramanian, Nick Robinson, Buzz Baum's Lab Thijs J. G. Ettema 🦠🔬🇳🇱🇸🇪🇪🇺 and Jan Lowe labs! 🤜🤛🍻🥳

Online today from our lab @HAW_Hamburg : ultraID our compact and hyperactive enzyme for proximity-dependent labeling 👉rdcu.be/cQXaA UltraID is almost half the size of TurboID, with similar labeling kinetics but with less background activity Plasmids available Addgene

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimage…

Excited to share our new study with the Müller and SchullerJM labs, online @nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… This is T. kivui, an anaerobic bacterium. It uses hydrogen energy to store #CO2. How does it do it? #CryoET revealed membrane-anchored bundles of the enzyme HDCR 🍩 1/🧵

Using MINFLUX, we could observe stepping of kinesin-1 in living neurons and cancer cells! Very cool work spearheaded by Takahiro Deguchi in my group in collaboration with @KapiteinLukas and Malina Iwanski in Utrecht. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/6)

Super happy to say that our latest work on ESCRT-III-mediated #celldivision in archaea is up on bioRxiv! Buzz Baum's Lab Buzz Baum biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What is there to know about archaeal cell biology, out today in Nature Microbiology fun collaboration with @marleenvw Simonetta Gribaldo Andre Pulschen and Buzz Baum rdcu.be/cXJPv

Latest #CDlab paper on bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Here, Nicola De Franceschi engineered ssRNA tile filaments for (dis)assembly and membrane binding, providing a toolbox for folding cytoskeletal systems made of RNA that can be transcribed in natural or synthetic cells.

Are you curious? Do you want to explore the unknown? Do you want to delve into our origins? Are you an extremophile-phile? Do you want to work in the fabulous LMB? Do you BioRXIV? Do you like scones & ride a bike? If your answers to some of these are yes, come join us Buzz Baum's Lab

Our latest research paper has just been published! We uncover the intricate mechanisms driving archaeal cell division through the assembly and disassembly of composite ESCRT-III polymers. Vps4 rules! Congrats Fredrik Hurtig and all our amazing co-authors! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Ever lain awake at night wondering which fluorescent dyes can be used to label cells in near-boiling acid? Look no further than our most recent paper in Buzz Baum's Lab on what worked and what didn't for live cell imaging of a hyperthermophilic archaeon: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Re-upping this: I'm looking for PhD students (start October 2024) to join my lab in Oxford. If you're interested in molecular evolution, archaea, chromatin, or all of the above, get in touch!

Korsten, Kapitein et al. Utrecht University employ live cell imaging and expansion microscopy to show that nuclear polyQ aggregates associated with #HuntingtonDisease induce nuclear envelope (NE) blebbing and cause NE ruptures. hubs.la/Q02Lz9Hc0 #Disease #Membrane

Interested in how microbial cell-cell interactions impact ecologically relevant protists cell fate ? Together wt Omaya Dudin🍉¦ 🦠¦🔬¦ we are looking for a motivated post doc candidate to explore this in #marine #stramenopiles, combining advanced #imaging, #omics & lab-based experiments⬇️⬇️

1/9 Insanely PROUD to share our new collaborative project with Gautam Dey & @CentrioleLab. #PlanExM We think (almost certain) #Expansion #Microscopy (#UExM) is a turning point for #Protistology and #Cell Biology. 🔗 [tinyurl.com/PlanExM1]
