Happy that our first BMP/TGFbeta receptor visualisation paper is available as pre-print, where we show the beauty of imaging Halo and SNAP-tagged receptors together with fluorescent ligands. Thankful for my team and the great collaboration with @BroichhagenJ and Francesca Bottanelli

That’s a warp. #BMP2022 was a very successful congress in Dubrovnik and I’m proud how well my colleagues presented our work. I’m looking forward to the follow-up projects which have been initiated at the conference.

As translational scientists, we should try our best to maximize the impact of our research towards patients. This weekend I’ll be visiting #FOP patients and relatives in #Lecce 🇮🇹 to tell about our projects in a lay understandable manner. Get more on fopitalia.it

Feeling fortunate to have been given the opportunity to present my research at the 13th BMP Conference in Dubrovnik 🇭🇷! Fascinating people and work presented there! #LSBA #BMP #Knausgroup

Good to see my colleague Jerome Jatzlau happy during his research visit IRB Barcelona!

It was an adventurous journey paving the way for BMP/TGFβ/Activin receptor and growth factor visualization. I am thankful for the collaboration and looking forward to future applications of our fluorescent tools.

👏

when you're waiting for the centrifuge and you randomly start questioning the entire project

Absolutely gorgeous

Instead of #bluesoup I’ll give you #proteinsoup. Students from my Science Comm workshop designed protein models, which will support the teaching of the next generation of biochem students. Cleaning them creates an #ASMR moment. #Science #3Dprinting #protein Department Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy FU Berlin Freie Universität

Playing with protein styles using #Molecularnodes and #Blender3D in combination with a plasma membrane model. As a test protein I used the Zinc transport protein ZntB #5N9Y. We are getting closer to the 3D receptor/ligand binding video! Department Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy FU Berlin Freie Universität Brady Johnston

I'm very happy to share that our collaborative study between Department Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy FU Berlin and Stefan Mundlos & Melvin C Bicomong is finally published online iScience journal. cell.com/iscience/fullt… We show the mechano-dependency of BMP9 SMAD-signaling in the vasculature. #BMP #ATACseq #genomics #vasculature

Let me know if I'm missing anything 😅

Within our study, where we used Halo-tagged BMP/TGFβ receptors for quantification of cell surface ligand binding, we compared BMP9 binding to different Teleost ALK1 receptors. Interestingly, BMP9 binding was not similar, but signaling was. #science #DALLE3 nature.com/articles/s4200…

In our follow-up story, Michael Trumpp and Wiktor Burdzinski applied our LSBA method to show a conserved ActivinA binding capability to ACVR2 receptors in human and medaka fish. A critical step for the development of a novel #FOP model. #science #Biology journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
