Congratulations true scientist Peter Njenga, Ph.D.!! Happy to see this work finally out.

Awesome work Oleg Sitsel, great to see the final version out!! These data will definitely shake up (or better: blow up) the field 🌋🌋

Are you ready to meet the #toxin with the most AWESOME name? Say hello🤗 to The Makes Caterpillars Floppy 1 toxin! It took us nearly a decade of work🔬 to find out what it looks like, but it was really worth it. Look at this 330 kDa giant beauty full of secrets! Thread 1/8.

Looking for a PhD student to join my group studying bacterial virulence factors using cryo-EM, advanced biochemistry, and molecular biology. Modern environment, amazing colleagues, and a lively city in the Top of the Netherlands! Apply: rug.nl/about-ug/work-…

Very pleased to present our latest work deciphering mechanisms of actin bundle construction by fascin from the Angstrom to the micron scale. A team effort by Rui Gong and Matthew Reynolds, and a great collaboration with Bidone Lab. bit.ly/3uorbNn

Curious about the molecular mechanism of #actin elongation by #formins? Then check out our latest work in Science Magazine! This was possible due to outstanding team effort. Big thanks to co-first author Wout Oosterheert, Bieling lab and @intein MPI Dortmund science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Wondering about our latest work on #actin filament assembly by #formins💍? I will present our data at the #MotorsInQuarantine online seminar today at 4pm British time (5pm German time). Of note, I am actually not a member of the Bieling lab - I work in the Stefan Raunser lab MPI Dortmund.

We are extremely proud to award the Bijvoet Medal to Piet Gros of Utrecht University, for all his scientific achievements and his commitment to the Bijvoet Centre!

Looking forward to this fantastic event in Portland, Maine next month, don't miss the GRC! My evil twin-brother Woot Osterheert will share some of our latest research on #actin filament assembly by #formins performed in the Stefan Raunser lab MPI Dortmund 😄😉🙃

Particularly excited to share our latest work, where we visualize how myosin motor forces alter the structure of actin. We discovered a spiral form of the filament which can be recognized by force-sensitive actin binding proteins. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Paper alert🚨 New paper by Peter Bieling & Stefan Raunser labs in Nature Communications - Phalloidin and DNase I-bound F-actin pointed end structures reveal principles of filament stabilization and disassembly - Congrats Micaela Boiero Sanders Wout Oosterheert et al. #cryoEM nature.com/articles/s4146…
