@knoblich-lab.bsky.socialReposted by @viennabiocenter.bsky.socialNew preprint! 🧠🧬 Can cerebral organoids reveal intrinsic rules of circuit assembly? We think yes! COSCO maps >10,000 networks and reveals cell-type intrinsic wiring, reproducible network formation, recurrent motifs, molecular signatures of wiring and aberrant connectivity in TSC. bit.ly/47CryUl

Study from the lab of CoE Key Researcher Peter Hinterdorfer @JKU Linz show that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variants balance spike flexibility, strong receptor binding and immune escape. doi.org/10.1002/advs...
@gmivienna.bsky.socialReposted by @viennabiocenter.bsky.socialThe GMI of @oeaw.bsky.social welcomed curious minds to explore plant pigments at the ORF Lange Nacht der Museen at the @tmwpress.bsky.social. Through experiments, microscopy & games, guests discovered how plants use colors for photosynthesis and protection. Thank you to all visitors and volunteers!
@impvienna.bsky.socialReposted by @viennabiocenter.bsky.socialSascha Amann won the 2026 Rabitsch Award! 🏆 A recent PhD graduate from the CryoEM Technology Platform, Amann received the award for his research on how the proteasome recognises and degrades proteins tagged with ubiquitin: https://bit.ly/4hQTCs1
@viennabiocenter.bsky.socialThe annual Cryo-EM Symposium took place on Campus this year! It is collaboratively organized by the Vienna BioCenter & ISTA (@istaresearch.bsky.social) and aims to explore & celebrate the latest advancements in Cryo-EM research & its impact on biological studies. Thank you to everyone joining!

@univie.ac.atReposted by @viennabiocenter.bsky.social#univie Microbiologists demonstrate in a new study that Asgard archaea, our closest known microbial relatives, move through their environment in a surprisingly dynamic manner. These new findings enable the empirical testing of models for the origin of complex life for the first time.🧬
