A cool perspective highlighting our work in the context of biological #crystals👇

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

A new #SciencePerspective looks at the fascinating world of biogenic crystals—crystals that grow inside or under the influence of living organisms—and how the diverse properties of these crystals may lead to a variety of applications. https://t.co/w4N3vjdLuc

[Gal Lab @BiominLab]

In this recent work @ScienceMagazine📢, we revisit the mechanisms of #Morphogenesis in #biomineralization. It's cool to see that no crazy tricks are needed, cellular confinement can suffice in making amazing structures!😲 https://t.co/80b7uTscLZ

[Nils Kröger @kroeger_nils]

The GRS/GRC Biomineralization 2022 (Chair: Janet Moradian -Oldak) will take place in Barcelona (Spain) IN PERSON. The program is now online: https://t.co/AA7GaXspO4
Abstract submission is open until July 17th.

Thanks @CarolineThaler !!! These questions are exactly what boggles our mind, and you give it a wider perspective bringing the #geochemistry perspective. Very interested to know if others have suggestions!

[Caroline Thaler🔬 @CarolineThaler]

Two weeks ago I read https://t.co/JRgfGayW4x, from @BiominLab, written by Y. Kadan on biomineralization in coccoliths, amazing paper (read it!). It illustrates a whole bunch of ideas I've been thinking about...so let's share ideas HERE, and tell me what you think about it! 1/10

[Gal Lab @BiominLab]

Very happy to share our latest work @angew_chem https://t.co/8SB40UH0VX
We investigated a synthetic system that mimics #diatom silicification and found that polymer phase separation is an unexpected regulator! 😯

Excited to announce that together with @StefanDiezLab we have an open PhD student or Postdoc position @BCUBE_TUDresden @PoLDresden

If you are a biophysicist/cell biologist interested in exploring the unusual cell motility of diatoms contact us for more details #diatom

[Einat Segev @SegevEinat]

Our new paper is out! Or Eliason, PhD student in the lab, shows that while some environmental proxies are sensitive to microbial interactions, others are not. An exciting step towards reconstructing past microbial interactions.

A great perspective on the enigmatic architecture of #pteropods shells. Typical #biomineralization... https://t.co/DJR4nDRiuY

Call for Postdoc

[Gal Lab @BiominLab]

Very happy to share our #cryoET work with #JuliaMahamid @embl on #coccolith formation. Amazing how #OceanAcidification looks from within cells! https://t.co/YeMsytnvlC

[Hyunwoo Yuk @HyunwooYuk]

Very cool paper. Diatom shells are fascinating and it's even more fascinating that people are still uncovering how they are forming.

[Gal Lab @BiominLab]

Every rule in biology has an exception… Remember that we were taught that #diatoms form their #silica inside their cells? Well, not always. Check our new paper @NatureComms. Using #cryoET we discovered extracellular silicification in diatoms!!! https://t.co/EuWyTguu8Y

@medlter A great day hosting @SegevEinat and @BiominLab course at the @medlter @UofHaifa

[@vardilab @vardilab]

Excited to share our last paper, revealing the importance of extra cellular #vesicles in expediting viral infection dynamics & prolonging #virus half life😱😱 , all of this in the natural environment ! Congrats Schatz et al. !! #sRNA #giantvirus #mesocosm

Excited to share this! just out @Dev_Cell.
Heroic effort by @Kamaleshk_ etal together with Shilo lab @WeizmannScience showing #exocytosis of large exocrine vesicles occurs by membrane crumpling preserving cell membrane integrity.
Why is it important? 1/n👇
