We are very happy to share that we have a new paper out in @JCellBiol! https://t.co/7mqPN3xht8 In it, we show that the kinesin Kip2, in collaboration with the CLIP-170 orthologue Bik1, moonlights as a microtubule polymerase.

Fission-independent compartmentalization of #mitochondria during budding yeast cell division. A new study from Saori Yoshii and Yves Barral @LabBarral @ETH_en: https://t.co/acqW4WeV3v

Yoshii and Barral @LabBarral @ETH_en discover that lateral diffusion barriers compartmentalize the membranes of yeast #mitochondria into mother, bud and tethered domains in a regulated manner, independently of the fission machineries. https://t.co/qOpO68eooa

Our colleagues in the Kroschewski lab just published a new paper where they describe the 'exclusome' - a cytoplasmic container of extrachromosomal circular DNA. Congratulations to all the authors!

Here is a layman's version on the ETH website: https://t.co/KT850YyHth

How can a transcription factor help a chromatin reader find its place? Check out our new #preprint where we used AlphaFold and phylogenetic analysis to design a single AA mutation in the chromodomain of Rhino that breaks the interaction with the ZnF protein Kipferl! 🦏🥐🪰

We’re very excited that our paper mapping protein structural changes during aging has been published! (1/15) https://t.co/byBBI6f8i9

If you are attending #yeast2023 come to my poster n.49 today to learn about exploration, memory and learning in yeast 🤓

[Kutay Lab @kutay_lab]

We are excited to share our latest publication, using super-res to reveal the organisation of ER-associated Y complexes in mitosis!

Congratulations!

Thank you to all the participants, organizers and supporters who contributed to make the #CELLULAR_MATTERS_Conference on #biocondensates (📍Monte Verità 🗓️ June4-7, 2023) a great success! Great science, fresh ideas & new collaborations: Stay tuned for future developments!

[Barral lab @LabBarral]

Thank you to the organizers, the speakers, poster presenters and everyone else who helped make the #IBCRetreat2023 an absolutely fantastic one!

[@PeterLab @PeterLab8]

3 wonderful days at #IBCRetreat2023 @ETH_DBIOL

Great line of invited keynote speakers @_taktas_ @Dey_Gautam and @BerndPulverer, talks and posters from PhDs & postdocs, scientific discussions and team building.

Thanks to the organizers and all participants for successful event.

[Hiro Ebina 蛯名裕久 @hiro_ebina]

I gave a talk in #IBCretreat2023 with the title "Exploring genome protection mechanisms in eukaryotes: lessons from fission yeast." It is really fun to see great talks and interact with many people in such a nice viewing place!

Congratulations to Mattia, who defended his PhD thesis on Monday. We are very proud!

[TheBraunLab @TheBraunLab]

Congratulazione Dottore Mattia Valentini! Great PhD defense and exciting discussions on how S. pombe recognizes foreign DNA! Wonderful visit of @ETH and @LabBarral @PomBase

This work was led by talented former Ph.D. student @xiuzhenchen in a great collaboration with the Steinmetz group @psich_en, the Stelling group @CSB_ETHZ, and the Liakopoulos group @CRBM_Montpel. Thank you all!
