Relaxing #beachread 🏝️: filaments that grow and shrink by burning energy🔥, death💀, assembly, division ring formation 💍, and more in our new paper in @NaturePhysics https://t.co/a6sOiIVp0B. Great collab with @nartimsoole & @seamus_holden , led by soon-doctor @vainhilla96. ⤵️
Did you know cell filaments love to treadmill? 🔄 They grow and shrink on opposite ends and burn energy doing it! But why? How does it drive self-organisation and bacterial division? Dive into our new publication ft. @SaricLab @nartimsoole @seamus_holden labs to find out! 🧫🔬🖥️
Registration is open for the 2025 iteration of the wonderful @EMBOevents workshop on cell polarity and membrane dynamics #EMBOcellPolarity25 I am organizing with Ed Munro! Wonderful lineup wonderful please sign up and RT https://t.co/N6NrB2dnWg
New edition of Interdisciplinary challenges (IntCha25) on physics of complexity and life will take place at Heidelberg in 2025 https://t.co/X5paR0Fxv7 @embl So proud the event keeps gathering ECR for rich exchanges
@Dmichiel1 ready for the 10th anniversaire?

Using simulations, synthetic cells, and live archaeal cell communities, @SaricLab, @KGoepfrich, and Buzz Baum are challenging the assumption that the cell membrane is passive and only changes shape when acted upon.

Congratulations to Anđela Šarić @SaricLab on being named an Allen Distinguished Investigator by @PGAFamilyFdn! She will lead an international collaboration, funded with $1.5 million, to investigate how chemically active membranes influence cell shape.

We're hiring for a MSCA PhD position! @ComeInCell
We're curious about how biological condensates can be actively targeted to membrane surfaces with the thoroughly mastered self-assembling protein machinery.
Check out the project at https://t.co/qcBzHbVBNd

We're super excited to launch ComeInCell- a doctoral network aimed to develop advanced cellular mimics that integrate functional membrane structures and biomolecular condensates. With a team of 14 PIs and 13 associated partners, this will be an exciting journey!
Taken together, we find membrane tradeoff design principles evolved in extremophiles - stability vs reshapeability - that can be valuable for (bio)technological applications. (7/7)
