In the life of a bee, mistakes can be costly. So, with a brain the size of a sesame seed, how do they make such quick and accurate decisions? elifesciences.org/digests/86176/…

Introducing our hybrid machine-learning framework for precise evaluation of intracellular organelles in 3D imaging! 🧬 We delved deep into live budding yeast cells 🦠, unveiling segmentation of vacuoles & quantifying biophysical parameters. opg.optica.org/boe/fulltext.c…

If you are attending #yeast2023 come to my poster n.49 today to learn about exploration, memory and learning in yeast 🤓

Our colleagues in the Kroschewski lab just published a new paper where they describe the 'exclusome' - a cytoplasmic container of extrachromosomal circular DNA. Congratulations to all the authors! Here is a layman's version on the ETH website: ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Feeling edgy these days

Ever wonder why cells of the same type tend to have a pretty uniform size? Check out our new paper out in Molecular Cell today to find out why too big can be a bad thing in terms of genome homeostasis and proliferative potential. 🧵 (1/9) cell.com/molecular-cell…

The paper I worked on is finally out. We argue, using observational data, that we observed stress-induced analgesia on a large scale caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine nature.com/articles/s4418…

A beautiful (and tragic) effort to shed some light on women's health.

It's nice to see the concept of basal cognition getting more attention! scientificamerican.com/article/brains…

The first fluorescent protein with a Chinese name, mBaoJin (‘bao jin’ means ‘stay gold’ in Mandarin), is bright and photostable GFP with rapid maturation, suitable fluorescent probe for super-resolution, long-term live-cell imaging, and ExM rdcu.be/dzIGb

Upon stress, how do cells downregulate translation of pre-existing, pro-growth mRNAs while allowing translation of new, stress-induced mRNAs? We now show that translation is controlled by a sequence-independent, timing-controlled mechanism. (1/5) doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Have you ever wondered how ribosome abundance is controlled in changing environments? I am excited to share our latest preprint on the ribosome dormancy factor Stm1 and its role in ribosome biogenesis. Here is a thread: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
