Latrotoxins from black widow spider revealed! Congrats to all authors and especially Minghao Chen Check out the preprint here: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #cryoEM MPI Dortmund @WWU_Muenster

I'm thrilled to be able to present the structure of this notorious toxin eventually! Thanks for the supervision of Prof. Gatsogiannis Christos Gatsogiannis and the intensive work of other authors in the past 3 years. Fingers crossed for the submission!

Great honor to receive the Sponsor Draw Prize at the 5th Prato Conference! Prato Conference on Pore Forming Proteins It was a fantastic experience! Thanks for the organization, and I’d like to appreciate my supervisor Christos Gatsogiannis and the director of my department Stefan Raunser for their great support!!


Tc-toxin-like encapsulation device in T6SS: #CryoEM structure of a bacterial Rhs effector. Thanks to Patrick Günther, Dennis & Christos Gatsogiannis MPI Dortmund. Great collaboration with the lab of John Whitney biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We're happy to share our work on #nebulin, #actin and #myosin in native #muscles. We pushed the limits: 4.5Å by FIB-milling & #cryoET.

Revealing the secrets of black widow spider venom: we're excited to share our work on #cryoEM #latrotoxins published today Nature Communications, kudos Minghao Chen and all coauthors with @intein MPI Dortmund and Wagner lab Jacobs University, @WWU_Muenster Uniklinik Münster


Our study on the #Drosophila #Slo channel is out Nature Communications, revealing the basis for manipulating the channel by small molecules. Great work by @TobiasRaisch MPI Dortmund Max Planck Society in great collab with Bayer | Crop Science & Cube Biotech. nature.com/articles/s4146…


Finished 3-month stay in my PhD lab at Hokkaido University Hokkaido University. Thank Prof. Ose and the entire lab for the heartwarming hospitality! It was a great opportunity to review and confirm myself. Now I’m prepared and looking forward to the next journey of my life😁✈️🤙


I’m so glad to become a new member of Hurley Lab at UC Berkeley ! I’ll be working on unveiling the molecular mechanism of autophagy initiation from a structural perspective. Totally excited to see what we will find in the future!🤩






"Ever wondered how α-latrotoxin, the black widow spider's 🕷️ neurotoxin, turns into a cation-selective channel? Check out our latest manuscript! rdcu.be/dWez3 Nature Communications #Neuroscience #Toxin #cryoEM @Sfb1348 Universität Münster

Thrilled to have contributed to the early stages of this work! I initially thought the TM helices were in the HBDs, but I was completely wrong—nature always surprises us beyond our expectations. What a stunning structure! Congrats to Björn, Christos Gatsogiannis, and other authors!

So excited to see the paper is finally online! Congratulations to all the authors especially Zeke Cook Thanh Nguyen Hurley Lab 🎊🎉🥂👏👏👏 Well done! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Glad to announce our latest paper on the autophagy initiating ULK1C:PI3KC3-C1 supercomplex is online today: nature.com/articles/s4159… Thanks to all the authors who contributed to this work: Hurley Lab Michael Lazarou Thanh Nguyen Ahmet Yildiz Well done!🥳👏
