Using mainly immune cells, we try to understand how cells migrate, change shape and interact in tissues.

We are really happy to see @mehmetintheory, @zanealsberga and @jonna_alanko‘s work on self generated gradients in collective migration out! Another great collaboration with @EdouardHannezo ‘s lab.

If you would like to help science become more sustainable:
• Reuse gloves when possible, they can be sterilized with no change in their properties:

• Don't overstock-gloves do expire!

[Sixt Lab @Sixt_Lab]

We teamed up with @ISTAsustainable and Saki, visiting artist @ISTAustria, and collected used non-contaminated gloves. The result was a beautiful dress worth a red carpet event in the lab.

An institute like ISTA consumes around 1700 gloves/day. These gloves are often discarded after a single use. Although nitrile CAN be recycled, Europe lacks sufficient infrastructure to process this material, so the gloves end up being incinerated.

Last Friday our @ERC_Research synergy team #pushingcell got together @institut_curie in Paris. Great discussion with @BassereauTeam, @PierreSens group and Anna Akhamnova’s team!

👻Trick or treat?🎃
Here is a treat 🍬 In our new perspective article @mi_riedl dives into the self-organizing principles behind actin polymerization and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. Two seemingly different systems, one underlying principle.

@mi_riedl paper is officially out in @NatureComms! We show that actin wave synchronization unifies the speed in collectively moving cells. Our unconventional "toy" model emphasizes the importance of nearest-neighbor coupling in this process.

[Michael Riedl @mi_riedl]

Thrilled to announce the publication of my first lead-authored paper @NatureComms: Combining cell biology with an unconventional toy model, we show that synchronization unifies speeds in a collective. https://t.co/GBVKPCRmxm

Congratulations to all the authors involved!!

How do immune cells know where to go? It has been proposed that cells simply respond to externally established gradients of chemokines, but we think that’s not all…

[Sixt Lab @Sixt_Lab]

(5/6) DCs don't just passively follow chemical cues! CCR7 senses CCL19 and actively shapes the distribution of chemokine. This dual function allows immune cells to generate their own gradients, guiding their collective migration in complex environments more effectively.

If you are attending the @lindaunobel Laureate Meeting this month you might meet our postdoc Mario (@mj_avellaneda)! We are all looking forward to hear about all the amazing talks that will happen…

Here is a peek at some bits from the story, a video with the images from @christlet and some of his comments, and a podcast with @Sixt_Lab @RolandSoldner

@reenak52086225 @globalimmuno And maybe ezrin surrounds the spot and keeps it confined? We do not know why it is always spots of WASP and never bigger areas. Let's find out!
