The 818th WE-Heraeus seminar #weh818 on „The cytoskeleton as active matter“ has started at Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, with an introduction by BetzLab and many great speakers, including BauschLab, Murrell Lab and Laurent Blanchoin we-heraeus-stiftung.de/veranstaltunge…

If you ❤️ chromosomes and loopextruders as much as we do 🤓, then we have an interesting read for you! Here’s Janni’s latest preprint on showing how loopextruders can globally order the chromosome in E. coli and precisely position genes in the cell. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Looking for a postdoc position? Great opportunity to join our soft matter group: lnkd.in/eEuBZRzm The fellowship is aimed at outstanding physicists from underrepresented groups. Feel free to reach out for more information about the call!

DTP PhD studentship available in our lab. Start: Oct 2025. Apply: now-24th Nov 2024 Taming the Viral Wolf: Cracking the Code of Gene Transfer Agents in Bacteria. Please RT. Thank you!!! shorturl.at/sR2px

A phase field model of a crawling cell captures cell motility patterns observed experimentally on confined substrate geometries. It describes how larger, softer epithelial cells hop more persistently while smaller, stiffer cells remain bistable. 🔗 go.aps.org/4gLVi3O

This study applies multi-contact #statistics to analyze models of #chromosome organization and compare them to experimental data, showing that a bottom-up model for loop extrusion accurately predicts three-point contact frequencies. Read the paper: go.aps.org/49YMzsR

A biophysical model and 3D polymer simulations explain the molecular mechanisms behind E. coli’s ability to organize chromosomes into left and right halves, using loop extrusion to ensure precise gene locationing without the need for cellular anchors. 🔗 go.aps.org/3Fo2zJq

With 3D polymer simulations, a biophysical model explains how E. coli organizes its chromosome into a left and a right half, using an active loop extrusion mechanism to ensure a precise formation without the need for cell anchoring. Read the paper: go.aps.org/3Fo2zJq

📢 Preprint alert 📢 (1/6) Our work on 3D force inference for intestinal organoids is now on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Stunning collaboration between Oliver Drozdowski and Kim Boonekamp from the lab of Michael Boutros and with Ulrike Engel. A short🧵...
