Thrilled to see this out! Fantastic work driven by claudio bussi in collaboration with Agustín Mangiarotti Dimova Lab now at @DimovaLab.bsky.social Christian Vanhille Campos Andela Saric We discovered a function for stress granules during membrane damage. Very relevant for #tuberculosis =ZNFX1 Thanks everyone and European Research Council (ERC) 🙏

Thank you very much to Alex Holehouse and Stephen Plassmeyer for covering our recent work on stress granules and endomembrane damage in this excellent News and Views article in nature. Check it out: nature.com/articles/d4158…

#Condensates as plugs for damaged #membranes? 😯Check out this cool work lead by Max Gutierrez claudio bussi, featuring in vivo, in vitro by Dimova Lab now at @DimovaLab.bsky.social Agustín Mangiarotti, and in silico by our Christian Vanhille Campos. Fun collab after a random London encounter UCL IPLS. 🎡The Francis Crick Institute ISTAustria

Membrane damage & stress response: How does a damaged lysosome heal inside the cell? A new paper in collaboration with Andela Saric & Christian Vanhille Campos at ISTA shows that stress granules form a plug to seal the pore. The Francis Crick Institute, nature

Healing a perforated vesicle: Molecular condensates rapidly form, triggered by the mixing of the inner (blue) and outer (pink) protein & ion solutions. Over time, the droplets form a plug that stabilizes the membrane. Simulation: © Christian Vanhille Campos Christian Vanhille Campos Andela Saric

Belated and deserved celebration of claudio bussi paper The Francis Crick Institute with cheese tower and bubbles 🫧Dimova Lab now at @DimovaLab.bsky.social Agustín Mangiarotti Andela Saric Christian Vanhille Campos note the mozzarella representing a damaged lysosome 😃🎉congratulations everyone 🥳

Group retreat with Andela Saric in Salzburg 🏔️ Science charades, moodboards and bathing archaea under the snow! ♨️☕☃️

2 beautiful days of our group retreat in the Alps. We hiked, we enjoyed silence ❄️, we enjoyed science, we cooked, we planned, we played, we 🛁 at 🌡️.

I am thrilled to share the release of the Organelle Dynamics and Function Lab NTU School of Biological Sciences NTU Singapore Super thankful to Max Gutierrez, my great lab mates, amigos and mentors @Crick and everywhere 🇦🇷➡️🇬🇧➡️🇸🇬 Interested candidates get in touch, recruiting soon! bussilab.com #newPI😬

Researchers at ISTAustria have discovered a previously unknown mechanism of active matter #SelfOrganization, crucial for bacterial #CellDivision: Misaligned filaments spontaneously "die" to create a well-organized ring structure at the center of a dividing cell.

Curious about the #BehindThePaper insights? 🫖🔥 Peek into the story behind the research here 👀👇 go.nature.com/3LbsxzP

Treadmilling of cytoskeletal filaments is crucial for their functional self-organization. A study published in Nature Physics sheds light on the mechanism underpinning this collective organization. go.nature.com/3yHQH22

EMBL Heidelberg researchers found how chromosomes switch from repelling each other to becoming sticky during cell division. They saw that protein Ki-67 turn chromosomes’ surface into a liquid-like glue that helps in the formation of daughter nuclei. 🔛 embl.org/news/science-t…
