RNAseq is commonly performed. We compared N=30 wild-type Bl6 mice to an N=30 heterozygotic knockout with a phenotype, and then downsized. We found you need at least an N= 8-12 to avoid a >50% false positive rate. A 2nd line confirmed the finding. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Another great day is about to start at #BNM2024! Make sure to join the poster session later to check out amazing work by several Eickholt Lab members 🤓🧠 NeuroCure Cluster of Excellence Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin

PAK6 rescues pathogenic LRRK2-mediated ciliogenesis and centrosomal cohesion defects in a mutation-specific manner - now published! Great team work lucia_iannotta et al.!!💪🥳

Very sad to hear of the death of David Stephens David Stephens. I still have vivid memories of his great seminars during my time at Bristol Biochemistry. His work inspired me to use multi-colour live imaging. And he was the first to highlight my work on Twitter. RIP

Tune in today at 12:00 German time to hear about #membranes and #EVs!

We are back with the next edition of online AstrocyteCafe🤩 You can be a speaker!!! Reach out to [email protected] if you want to give a talk. Online seminar will be for free and will feature astrocyte researchers from all over the world, like usual!🙌 OpenAcademics

Astrocyte cafe is back!!!!!!!

We are still looking for a new team-member with ICP-MS experience, for our metallomics efforts in the the context of antimictobial action. If you know a candidate, please help spreading the word!

Interested in doing a #PhD on the functions of extracellular matrix (e.g. #glycosaminoglycans) in ageing? Funded by DiMeN DTP, with Kwok Lab and @DaveFernig. Application link here: tinyurl.com/3rzjsyhs

We are already including speakers doing a very wide variety of topics! Many of them are faculty, and we want to encourage a diversity of career stages too, so if you are a postdoc/student, please don't be shy! We want to hear your science!😍 "unbaked" stories are very welcome!

Great to this work published in Current Biology. I still have vivid memories of one of the most enjoyable and fascinating talks I ever attended, given by Michael Brecht Brecht Lab on this topic at the #BNM2023 meeting.

Call for abstracts and registration for the #gliameeting in #Marseille starts on 10 December! Learn more about the topics, submission process and the available stipends on the #glia2025 website: loom.ly/AJI_q_Y Submit your abstract by midnight CET on 5 February 2025!

Excited and honored to be named 'Cell Scientist to Watch' by Journal of Cell Science J Cell Science Thanks Sara Morais da Silva for the stimulating interview! Grateful to my family, team and mentors for their support. Interested in our work? Hiring Postdocs/Grad students!

Not sure how many people is left here, but this Thursday we are back with the #MembraneTrafficking seminars, with two exciting talks! Louise Fougère will talk about ER export in plants, and Lippincott-Schwartz Lab about lysosome engulfment of ERES. Join us Thursday at 5pm CET!
