Hey et al. show that KIF16B-dependent recycling of MT1-MMP to the surface of primary macrophages impacts on macrophage invasion, & also on co-invasion of cancer cells, pointing to a likely role of KIF16B in the tumor microenvironment UKE Hamburg The Linder Lab bit.ly/45NcrEW

100th publication cake (NOT a birthday). My labmates are awesome 🎂

Check out our recent cover image from the Nov ´23 issue of Life Science Alliance. It shows a tumor spheroid, embedded together with human macrophages in collagen I matrix. 🕸️ life-science-alliance.org/content/6/11/e…

Our latest Faculty Opinions/H1 Connect recommendation is now online. connect.h1.co/prime/742779609 It´s for "Sensing their plasma membrane curvature allows migrating cells to circumvent obstacles" (Sitarska et al., Nat Commun, 2023) 🥐 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37704612/

Ready for #cellbio2023 🔬

Here´s to Xmas! 🍷🎄

A warm welcome to our new lab members Adrià Ramos-Ruiz (master thesis) and Marissa Betz (lab rotation) who will work on phagosome transport 🚛

Very happy to see that our primer on "Matrix metalloproteinases at a glance" is now online J Cell Science. As always, excellent editorial work and production. Also, would look great on your lab wall 😎 journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

Sven Hey and Stefan Linder The Linder Lab UKE Hamburg present matrix metalloproteinases at a glance. They discuss regulation of MMPs and their impact in health and disease. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

Great news: the next meeting of the Invadosome Consortium (9th in this series) will take place in Vancouver, Canada, Oct. 01-04, 2024 Organizers: Karla Williams and Michael Olson Excellent science and beautiful nature, what´s not to like? ⚗️🌲 invadosome.com

Congratulations to our lab member Sven Hey for a superior disputation on MT1-MMP recycling in macrophages🧑‍🎓

A warm welcome to our new lab members Qi-fan Sun (PhD cand) and Radha Navare (lab rotation) ⚗️

Apparently, scientific thinking can be done in any kind of position...🥨

Filming for a video article. Next stop: Hollywood? Stay tuned 🎬

Moving to a brand new building on campus. Ever seen a pristine lab? ❄️

Lab comeback: Slowly, but surely, experiments are restarting...🌒

🚨 Save the date! 🚨 We're thrilled to announce our International Symposium on Cell & Structural Biology of Host-Pathogen Interaction 📅 Sept 10-12, 2025 📍 CSSB 🗓️ Abstract submission opens Dec 1, 2024. Registration starts soon For more info: humansandmicrobes2025.de
