Holger Fleschig Kanazawa University WPI-NanoLSI presents his last advances in the bioafmviewer.com Very useful tool! #afmbiomed2022 Force microscopy group

Latest #CDlab preprint on biorxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Collaborating with Jan-Michael Peters’ lab, we show that CTCF is a _DNA-tension-dependent_ barrier to cohesin-driven loop extrusion. Lots of new data! Congrats to 1st authors Iain Davidson Roman Barth Maciej Zaczek 1/

Life science is an open frontier. Clifford Brangwynne and Anthony Hyman discovered an entirely new system of cellular organization via membraneless liquid drops. Congratulations to them on winning the 2023 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences. Princeton University HHMI MPI-CBG Dresden

Congratulations to Anthony Hyman Hyman Lab MPI-CBG Dresden & Clifford Brangwynne brangwynnelab Princeton University on being awarded the 2023 Breakthrough prize in Life Sciences. With Michael Rosen, they share their stories leading to the discovery of molecular condensates:bit.ly/3Mbm73m

Today, at last, we published a paper where we resolve this question on how SMCs deal with obstacles bound to DNA – yielding lots of surprises! cell.com/cell-reports/f… Superb experiments by postdoc @BisLightyear of our #CDlab, in collaboration with Jan-Michael Peters et al. 1/7

New #CDlab paper in Cell Reports Methods: cell.com/cell-reports-m… Here, @martinholub_ & @AnthonyBirnie et al developed protocols to take a genome from a bacterium, strip it from its binding proteins, and use it for ‘Genome-In-A-Box’ biophysics experiments on megabasepair long DNA!

My joy.

After 1.5 weeks of holidays in South Korea (visiting wonderful places at Seoul, Seorak, Jeju, Gyeongju, Yeosu), I'm now onto some doing work here, starting off today with a seminar at Seoul National University hosted by Je-Kyung Ryu (JK)

Inaugurating a new biophysics institute in Korea: skku.edu/eng/About/orga… with a symposium: wisdom-iqb.com/academic/progr…

It fills me with great pride to sit in a conference session where 2 ex-CDlab members (Je-Kyung Ryu (JK) and Eugene Kim) present the exciting data from their own labs!

Great resource for anyone in AFM! #afmcommunity

Discover if and how the material of the AFM tip affects image quality in AFM. Read more about it in our new insight post. Also find there a link to our even more valuable insight in the downloadable AFM FAQ. #NanosurfInsights hubs.la/Q01YXR7G0

The idea came when Je-Kyung Ryu (JK) presented his data on yeast condensin motion in liquid AFM. It was clear to me that it could stretch only in a particular direction wrt the heads and anchor (Ycg1) domain. Indeed we found that it preferred orthogonal directions!
