Are you interested in actin-binding proteins and lipid bilayers? TimonNK, @BleicherPhilip and BauschLab show how mobile anchoring of VASP allows it to function both as an elongator and bundler during #actin polymerization. Very thankful to be part of this!

Beyond spheroids! We show #PancreaticCancer cells self-organize into morphologically-faithful #organoids! Great work by Samuel, Aristeidis Papargyriou from @MaxReichert lab and Edouard Hannezo for a true collaboration between Biohysics and Medicine! go.nature.com/3TKT2Pl

Getting greated by the sun over the dead sea for #physcell2022 at ein gedi.

Want to know more about our recent paper on branching #organoids and how to model #PancreaticCancer? 😄😉 Read the TU München press release on our Nature Communications paper by Maximilian Reichert and BauschLab!! tum.de/en/news-and-ev… @sfb1321 DFG public | @[email protected] nature.com/articles/s4146…

We celebrate the opening of the "Center for Functional #Protein Assemblies" (CPA), the new complex for #interdisciplinary research in #biomedicine, subsidized with 40 million euros from the federal and state governments: go.tum.de/003128 👏 #molecules #proteininteractions

Presenting my PhD project in an outfit inspired by Marc Abrahams, but people thought i would perform a magic trick in the end.

The third (final?) chapter of my gliding trilogy is out: after "gliding on a membrane" and "on a sphere", I offer you our new paper on *gliding in a nematic*! nature.com/articles/s4156… Huge thanks to Lukas BauschLab, Ivan&Timo PhysicsOfLifeLMU & Tetsu TU München. Here's a🧵(1/15)

Last speaker of this first session is Aldredo Sciortino, presenting on nematics of cytoskeleyal filaments #InterChall2023

Looks like a created a µm-sized interdimensional portal. In contrast to Dr Strange I didn't even need a sling ring.

Research is often disheartening, but sometimes you get one back.

My PBS is starting to look very christmassy 🎄

We are keeping the registration open until Monday evening: you still have a last chance to apply to #intcha24 😎 !

It's been an incredible week at the 90th Harden Conference in collaboration with BSCB and European Cytoskeletal Forum! Thank you to all those who attended for making our first event of the year a success! #BiochemEvent

Back in the lab after an inspiring conference on cell migration in birmingham! BSCB #ECF2024

Some actin fireworks for 4th of july

Meet me there :-)

RT appreciated: My lab is recruiting several Ph.D.s and Postdocs excited to build synthetic cells that undergo Darwinian evolution. The backgrounds that we need for include biochemistry, synthetic biology, and systems chemistry. Details: boekhovenlab.com/openings/
