From MBoC Mechanical Strategies Supporting Growth and Size Diversity in Filamentous Fungi A new study from Louis Chevalier and @MincLab establish how mechanical properties of fungal cells scale to support size and growth variability across evolution. doi.org/10.1091/mbc.E2…



It has been 5 years since I started my lab in HiLIFE_Helsinki, University of Helsinki, Institute of Biotechnology (BI), BioEnvHelsinki. Wow, what a rollercoaster! Here are 5 lessons I learned along the way and a reflection on my successes and failures at the end. A thread (1/10)

Our study on fungal zoospores swimming pattern is out in Current Biology! This study came from one simple question: Do all chytrid zoospores have the same swimming behavior? (No, they don’t!) doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… 👇

1/9 Insanely PROUD to share our new collaborative project with Gautam Dey & @CentrioleLab. #PlanExM We think (almost certain) #Expansion #Microscopy (#UExM) is a turning point for #Protistology and #Cell Biology. 🔗 [tinyurl.com/PlanExM1]


Leaving the '60 years of EMBO' meeting with a lot of new ideas and inspiration - and a walk through fields and forest. What a supportive science community - even ran into some colleagues from Geneva :) Université de Genève
