Join our group to build models of Cell-Matrix interactions in the context of brain development! Please RT! And message me with any questions!

This is a fantastic place! If you are a postdoc - apply! If you are a PI - send your postdoc! Happy to answer questions... Come to Berlin! 🌈

Super happy to see this online and excited to have contributed to this awesome work!! 🤓🔬💪🏾 Mitosis, beautiful fluorescence microscopy, tubulin biochemistry, quantitative phase imaging and theory. There is something for everyone!! Congratulations to everyone involved 🎉🤩

Part 2 of my postdoc work is out! We show that the ploidy-to-cell size ratio is a highly conserved, “intrinsic” determinant of cell physiology. Check out the paper for more insight into how and why. Link - nature.com/articles/s4159… Free PDF – rdcu.be/dONo3 Also, a fun🧵!

Holotomography FTW!🔬🐸

Review with yongkeun (Paul) park on the technique that has led to one of the most surprising discoveries in bio photonics, biophysics, and maybe even cell biology in recent years… doi.org/10.1038/s43586…

… the nucleus is not as dense as the cytoplasm - true for all eukaryotic cells - and the ratio is always 0.8. Go figure... Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Mike Lanz's latest paper from our group on what happens when cells get too big just came out in NSMB. Read all about it at the link below. Diluting the genome produces a response similar to limiting an essential nutrient nature.com/articles/s4159…

How did microtubules adapt to support life across 🐸species at divergent thermal niches? Excited to share our latest work! Thanks to @elladegaulejac Luca Troman Abin Biswas @CarolynMoores1 🙌 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just another reason why #xenopus and 🐸 extracts are an awesome system to work with! Happy to have played a small part in this story 🤓 Congratulations to the whole team!! 🎉 🐸🌡️🔬

Some awesome evo/cell bio here.

How do #stemcells integrate information to make fate decisions? Check out our latest preprint where we find that growth factors regulate the mechano-osmotic state of the #nucleus and #chromatin to determine whether to retain or exit #pluripotency🧵👇biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

At the new Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin (#MPZPM) in Erlangen, five Core Groups will conduct research to meet the most urgent medical challenges facing society. Learn more about the group ‘Cell Physics’ led by Prof Jochen Guck (GuckLab 🇺🇦) 👉 bit.ly/MPZPM-Cell-Phy…

It was a fantastic Grand Opening Symposium at the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin! 🤩 Many thanks to all the speakers for their inspiring and motivational talks over the last two days! Now we're looking forward to the official opening ceremony of the #MPZPM tomorrow!

Congrats GuckLab 🇺🇦 🍾 Vasily Zaburdaev 🇺🇦 🍾SandoghdarLab 🍾 on the new Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin and a great Grand Opening Symposium! Science will be fun here! 🤩

Congrats to Mirko Pleitner for the FEBS Letters Poster Award! Mirko from the lab of Simone Reber at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin presented an excellent poster at the EMBO EMBL Symposium "Wild frontiers of model organisms". Thanks for the fantastic insights! #EESWildModels EMBL Events

Investigating spatio-temporal dynamics in the complex cytoplasm using label-free tools 🔬 and 🐸 extracts. Beautiful work by Conrad Möckel Congratulations! 🎉🍾

Congratulations to everyone involved!!! 🍾🎉🤩 Fortunate to have contributed to this beautiful work demonstrating how cytoplasmic density tunes mitotic spindle architecture 🔬📈🐸
