Thank you Adrien!! Super chuffed to have this out 🥳🥳

Thank you Adrien!!

#LivingArchitectures Brought further to life by the stunning music of Alexandre Desplat, Philippe Hersant, and Kaija Saariaho

#LivingArchitectures is a glorious convergence of science and art.
@manuelthery.bsky.social and the #CytoMorphoLab turn the Orsay into a living canvas - its walls and ceilings pulsating with life. Cytoskeletal asters bloom. Cells stream, pause and surge. Magnifique!

Congratulations Rashmi!!! ❤️❤️❤️🐟🐟🐟🍾🍾🍾

Thank you Wayo!!! Hope all is well on your end

Thank you all for the herculean experimental efforts, insightful discussions, and shared curiosity that drove this project forward!

Such an incredible group of people I had the privilege to work with on this project @sudimukherjee.bsky.social @franzelab.bsky.social, @niklasgampl.bsky.social, Ross McGinn, Katrin Mooslehner, Julia Becker, @alexwinkel.bsky.social, Amelia Thompson and all the other wonderful Franze lab folk

Thank you Benita!! ❤️❤️❤️

🐸🐸🐸 I’m going to miss doing science with you now that this is out 🥲 We must find other things to do together!

Thank you Elias!!

Thank you Christophe!!

Thank you Juan!!! So glad to have this study out!

🥳🥳🥳 Pretty fab start to 2026!!

Bon année Alex!

How do new centromeres evolve while staying compatible with the division machinery?

Discover it in our new Nature paper! We show centromeres transition gradually via a mix of drift, selection, and sex, reaching new states that still work with the kinetochore.

Congratulations Romain!! 🪰💥

In this week's DB unit seminar @embl.org, Eva Pillai @evapillai.bsky.social , a postdoc in the Arendt, Diz-Muñoz @diz-lab.bsky.social and Brunet groups @thibautbrunet.bsky.social , shared insights on the role of cell surface mechanics in multicellularity, using choanoflagellates as a model organism

NEW pub in @science.org 🥳

Is it sponges (panels A & B) or comb jellies (C & D) that root the animal tree of life?

For over 15 years, #phylogenomic studies have been divided.

We provide new evidence suggesting that...

An Asgard archaeon with internal membrane compartments

Brilliant study led by @fmacleod.bsky.social and Andriko von Kügelgen. Tight collaboration with @buzzbaum.bsky.social and lab. Congrats to all authors!

Asgard archaea are full of surprises, this time we found (tiny) microtubules (snapshots of microtubule evolution?!) - Check out our new paper on the cytoskeleton of Lokiarchaeum ossiferum: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

🚨Our collaboration with @centriolelab.bsky.social & @gautamdey.bsky.social is out today in @cp-cell.bsky.social
We show that #Expansion #Microscopy is a broad-spectrum modality for Euks, enabling 3D phenotypic maps rooted to phylogeny.
