Have you ever wondered how cells in developing embryos manage to squeeze through tiny spaces? And how do they cope with mechanical stresses imposed by surrounding tissues?
Check out our paper, now out @natcellbio.nature.com :

I am so proud of this achievement for Sascha. If you want to know about his amazing work that led to this award check out his two preprints: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Sascha 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

DNA → RNA → protein.

From single mRNAs to an entire developing vertebrate embryo, we can now watch this last step unfold in real time.

Our paper is out today! 🐟🔬

After excising an intron, the spliceosome gets trapped on the branched intron-lariat RNA. How are such dead-end spliceosomes terminated? Our latest paper led by @vytaute.bsky.social investigates the mechanism of spliceosome termination www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/6)

Check out our latest work on developmental scaling: collective cell migration speeds up in larger animals and slows down in smaller ones, helping maintain a constant pace of tissue morphogenesis across different-sized animals. @ybellaichelab.bsky.social

So excited to join the Perutz! #lipidtime
I will also be looking for new PhD students and postdocs soon ☺️

🎉Preprint out! In our new manuscript, we reveal that, much like us, wake up (proliferation) and sleeping (quiescence) patterns of adult neural stem cells are controlled by the circadian clock machinery. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to announce that the Rikki Garner lab has opened its doors in beautiful Austin, TX! Our interdisciplinary lab @utaustin.bsky.social MBS investigates tissue fluidity as a universal physical regulator of multicellular patterning in health and disease. www.rikkigarnerlab.org 1/n

Cngratulations to @JoanaESaraiva and Sandra from the lab on their new review @embojournal.org we discussed few points about the coordination of cell state transitions in #embryos and #regeneration

Also welcome @joanaesaraiva.bsky.social to BlueSky!

1/ out in @science.org! We found a new asymmetry in large-scale chromosome structure: sister chromatids are shifted by hundreds of kb in the 5′→3′ direction of their inherited strands! A close collaboration w/ @gerlichlab.bsky.social , led by @flaviacorsi.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
