Dear Twitter, Maxim Ohairwe made a really cool paper on how an instability (bifurcation) the fitness landscape of fungal hyphae leads to a strict constraint on their shapes! nyu.edu/about/news-pub…

Super excited to finally see this paper published 😮‍💨

What happens for the CO2 concentration mechanism when mitochondria move inside algal cells? 👀🦠The answer, beautiful images and more mechanistic insights👇 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… A wonderful collaboration with @jfindinier90 and Arthur Grossman🤗 Carnegie Science

Do you ever wonder how ancient cellular processes such as endocytosis evolve and vary between species? If you do, take a look at our new preprint by Andrea Andrea Picco, Chris Christopher P. Toret and Anne-Sophie! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Are you in Paris on 2 April? Go to Académie des sciences for an amazing conference co-organised with Jacques Prost and Benoit Perthame. Highly interdisciplinary. See terrific line of speakers🤩, programme + registration link here: tinyurl.com/bdcjjd4s. It' free you need to register.

"The purpose of neuronal spikes is not to represent but to act upon something" From a visionary blog post by Peter Rupprecht: gcamp6f.com/2019/12/31/ann… where related ideas of @Romainbrette, Kording Lab 🦖 are discussed. Thanks Peter Rupprecht for reviewing our work on your blog!

Great opportunity!

Why are power laws and heavy-tailed distributions so widespread in animal behavior? We show how behavioral plasticity might be the minimal necessary ingredient w/ M Vergassola @LP_ENS_, Gautam Sridhar Wyart Lab Claire Wyart rb.gy/184fke (thread below) 1/12

Happy to announce our new preprint on the ancestry of cell adhesion and self-recognition in animals! We used proteomics and structure-based searches to re-examine the Aggregation Factor from the classical sponge mode first studied by Henry Wilson in 1907! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

The pre-print for the last paper (under review) from my postdoc at the @SutherlandLab is up! Salp colonies vary in swimming speed and energetic efficiency across species and colonial architectures. Streamlining of propellers in a multi-jet system is key! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join us and enjoy a number of perks such as debates on: -do bacteria really have cytosleleton? -what does hold plant cell shape is really microtubules? -what's the newest actin labeling probe and why it still sucks -What does endocytosis really do in yeast And much more...

Excited to release our latest work, led by Sebastian Gonzalez La Corte (Sebastian Gonzalez La Corte) with Ned Wingreen: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…! Here, we show that polymers unexpectedly sculpt proliferating bacterial colonies into spaghetti-like "cables".🦠🍝 Tweetorial follows! [1/10]

In our new #cryoFIB #cryoET preprint we imaged actin filaments in very fast moving Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites. We shed some light on the mechanism of gliding motility and find unexpectedly long and large actin bundles in the cytoplasm and nucleus! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

1/42 New preprint: turns out MuLTEE is not only the longest running multicellularity evolution experiment (1000 days and counting), but also the longest running polyploidy evolution experiment! It reveals how whole-genome duplication (WGD) arises and impacts long-term evolution.

1. My top imaging trick to trainees is that before they spend any time taking pictures of the data they just sit there for a while & look at the stuff. Like seriously, sit back, crank some tunes, get cozy & spend some quality time with your slides.

How do physical properties of bacterial niches affect their colony growth in 3D? Sreepadmanabh M shows for the first time that physical confinement in 3D can selectively favor the colony growth of certain bacterial strains over others.

After years of protist isolation within the DEEM team Orsay we are proud to share this preprint. Here we present a version of the eukaryotic tree of life enriched for our favorite protists, water beans (Ancyromonadida) and tiny elephants (Apusomonadida): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
