Now out in print Cell Press cell.com/cell-genomics/… Working hypothesis is that for some nematode effectors there is a mechanism conceptually similar, but functionally very different, to V(D)J immunoglobulins.

Proud to highlight the incredible work by my friend Sara Pinto! 🌞 If you're curious about germline development, β−1,3-glucan, ovules, plasmodesmata, and more, be sure to read her research. Highly recommended! 📚💐

Idemoooooooo!!!!! Novak Djokovic. Srbija 🏅

We are recruiting! jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/47592/ Looking for a Laboratory Technician to join this lovely bunch working on #plantpath #plantscijobs Department of Plant Sciences Crop Science Centre Cambridge University

Out today in Nucleic Acids Res from cees dekker - also at @ceesdekker.bsky.social lab!! *DNA supercoiling enhances DNA condensation by ParB proteins* doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… Together with Axel Foly (and @Gruber_Lausanne ) we show the interaction between partition complex proteins (ParB) and supercoiled DNA!

Today, I was honored to receive the Best Thesis Award from F.R.S.-FNRS at the ED15 Doctoral School in Belgium. I am truly grateful for everything that @LalouxLab have done for me. I proudly carry the "Laloux-mni" name with me! #foreverabdellofan!

"Step by step, unlocking untapped potential." Unbelievable presentation, brilliant scientist, and now the Best PhD Thesis Award winner—my amazing wife. So proud!

Years of friendship and science with FFDS have been, and continue to be, an incredible journey! Check out our story! Thanks to Jovana Kaljevic and Miloš Tišma, it is now in public. And an amazing logo thanks to Milica Jelicic

Perfect Christmas gift 🎄🎁 Check out our work on evolution of broad host virulence in Pseudomonas 🌱🌲🌿🍀

Close to 300 000 students in protest! Belgrade, Serbia (22.12.2024)

Thrilled to share our latest review by Hui Xiang_ugent! 📄🌱 Explore the exciting interplay of transcription factors and effector interactions—and stay tuned for more insights on nematode effectoromes coming soon from us! Huge congrats, Hui Xiang_ugent and Lieve Gheysen! 👇

A very insightful work into #lncRNA parallel functions, U1-dependent #chromatin association, and alternative #polyA site selection. I am delighted to be part of this work led by Szymon Swiezewski and Sebastian Sacharowski. ⚠️ Preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🌱 When a root cell undergoes symmetric division, are the resulting daughter cells identical? Using live-cell imaging and scRNA seq we discovered a new cell state with uneven BR activity. Trevor Nolan Nemanja Vukašinović Chewei Hsu Read our full paper in Cell doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…

Astonishing ideas and groundbreaking work on uneven mitosis and BR signalling! 🔬✨ With even better microscopy—huge congrats to the team, especially Nemanja Vukašinović! Thanks for showing us once again how cool plants are! 🌱 A must-read!

Very excited to see my first first author paper published in PNASNews . We found the first effector regulator in plant-parasitic nematodes! Congratulations to all authors and co first author Clément Pellegrin. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining ZMBP as a Junior Group Leader in October 2025! My lab will explore the functional and structural diversity of plant immune receptors. 1/2 #NewPI #PlantImmunity #NLRs #PlantScience #StructuralBiology

A Royal Society funded PhD Studentship is available in our group to study meiotic recombination in plants: tinyurl.com/mt8cmw3d Eligible international students can also apply for JIC Scholarships to cover fee differences (e.g. tinyurl.com/4evzdc3r). Deadline: 21.07.25

Excited to share the paper on my project in Caroline Dean out now in Molecular Cell 🎉Huge thanks to all the co-authors - it was a great collaborative effort!
