i knew it!

the magic growing/shrinking GTP/GDP switch lies in the differential ability to bend out of plane and hold on neighbours. Alone you go faster, together we go further.

👋 Are you looking for a postdoc position? Do you think microtubules are fascinating? Then we might have the job for you! 2-year funded postdoc to join our lab! 👉 deadline 20/06 👇 check it out www.godinholab.com

May in #preprints – the #CellBio edition! Curated by #preLighters from across the field. @girishkalephd.bsky.social @fadelvalle.bsky.social @ethanewe.bsky.social @sristi.bsky.social et al. New discoveries and bold hypotheses you shouldn’t miss. #preList ⬇️ prelights.biologists.com/prelists/may...

beautiful pulsed labelings reveal where new wall form as bacteria grow

#Science Bluesky, do your thing: We're organising the International Symposium on Mechanobiology (ISMB) 2026 in #Glasgow & we're looking for research groups in Latin America & Africa who are doing great work in #Mechanobiology or adjacent areas. Can you indicate some names to me?

The Valrose Institute of Biology in Nice is recruiting an engineer (IE level) for its photonic imaging platform. The candidate will work under the supervision of the engineer responsible for the microscopy department. 1/2 emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

today we are revisiting the good old Gundersen and Bulinski experiments about microtubules stability and modifications in migrating cells.

curvature is intrinsic to protofilament structure and independent on GTP or GDP state

Anne-Betty N'diaye from our #CytoMorphoLab received the best poster prize for her cell monsters at @embo.org workshop on Cellular Matters !

We decided to stop sending our papers to Nature&Co or Cell&Co to stop enriching billionaires (Springer, Elsevier) and give the publication fees to scientific societies instead. We submitted our work to @embopress.org thinking the money would go to @embo.org and received the bill from Springer ...

Looking forward to the Physics within the Cell workshop on 16th June. Join if you want to discuss molecular motors and intracellular transport with me. More info here: iop.eventsair.com/pwtc2025/

Today, the ERC formally adopted a decision to increase its support for researchers moving to Europe. On top of its normal grants, the ERC offers 'start-up' funding to help PIs establish laboratories / research teams in Europe. This extra funding is now x2 (up to €2 million!) europa.eu/!6Vdgmp

At IMBA, we believe curiosity makes science happen. IMBA is hiring a Junior Group Leader in the molecular life sciences - join a vibrant scientific community where bold questions are supported by the resources to pursue them.Apply below. #hiring #biology #research #groupleader #europe

The Microtubule meeting program is out and is looking great this year again! biology.ed.ac.uk/microtubule/...

#theconferencetoendallconferences ... if you want to join, hurry up, we will be full soon. The capacity is limited (lecture hall size) to 230 paying. 227 registered, 188 paid as of now. What you've heard is likely true. Science + music & magic, train, canoes ... (Faust too). woodstock.img.cas.cz

We dedicated this paper to Michel Bornens who passed away 3 years ago. He would have enjoyed this movie so much!

We are looking for two cell biology PhD students open to interdisciplinary approaches to focus on the robustness of cell division. These offers are part of the doctoral competition of the Institut génétique et développement de Rennes (IGDR). More details: igdr.univ-rennes.fr/en/jobs-inte...

Register now: #CytoData2025 🔬 This fall, EU-OPENSCREEN is co-hosting the CytoData Hackathon and Symposium, which will explore the power of #microscopy imaging as a data-rich resource for quantifying cellular phenotypes – with a strong focus on high-content imaging techniques such as #CellPainting.

"we are going to need high-throughput in vitro reconstitution approaches, the same way we have high-throughput cell biology" ❤️👊

Thinking about the role of tubulin acetylation in cell physiology? Look no further 🙌 check out the review Lisa Donker and I wrote on this puzzling microtubule PTM 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I can't wait to attend this meeting and present our work on building cell architecture with the shape of the @museeorsay.bsky.social !

IMBA is recruiting a Junior Group Leader! Are you interested in starting your own lab, pursuing curiosity-driven basic research in the life sciences? Apply now to our group leader position. The deadline is May 28. Link is below.

In these dark times when science is under threat worldwide, scientists need a ray of sunshine. I can’t wait for Woodstock Night Science in June! woodstock.img.cas.cz

Really cool conference! Abstract submission for IntCha25 deadline: March 31st, 2025

⭐️ Please Fwd. Are you in Paris on 16th May? See👇 poster of symposium on « Information processing in biological systems » @collegedefrance.bsky.social Fantastic line of speakers 🤩. It is free, w/o registration, and it will be exciting.m! Follows from my series of lectures at CdF last fall.
