@mhakala.bsky.social shows that HRS forms bidimensional condensates onto endosomal membranes to flatten clathrin/ESCRT-0, an observation unexplained since the 2000s. Thx to Kukulski lab, @stefvass.bsky.social @colomlab.bsky.social @kaksonen.bsky.social @mishakudryashev.bsky.social

I am super happy and honored to see some of my movies making it into the NYT. I hope everybody enjoys watching them go as much as I do!
New method paper out today on FLIM analysis with Flipper-TR.
We discuss fitting strategies, common pitfalls, and quantitative interpretation for measurements.
First corresponding/last authorship for me!

Thanks to @rouxlab.bsky.social and Tithi Mandal!
This monday we had our monthly Sciences Club.
Here Cesar Bernat is showing his work on CHMP1A in mammalian cells in the @rouxlab.bsky.social !

thanks for showing this movie! The gradients of tension reorient while migrating cells change directions.
Congrats to Nicolas, Mathieu ad Claire for this important achievement. This will help the community tremendously!
So grateful to @epimechfc.bsky.social for citing our work! It’s a classic from the lab, forever thanks to @colomlab.bsky.social

You should also read Juanma’s paper, which visualizes membrane tension gradients in migrating and non-migrating cells! rdcu.be/e2u20
It also shows that flipper truly reports tension, but that response varies with lipid composition.

Scientists have seen Asgard archaea crawling for the first time. When it comes to the origin of eukaryotes, this is like seeing a feathered dinosaur in the wild. (Video courtesy of Philipp Ralder)

Little reminder about this paper out there, it's a great reference for anyone working on Flipper-TR experiments! By @chloeroffay.bsky.social @rouxlab.bsky.social
Congrats to all authors: @dedenonmathieu.bsky.social, @rouxlab.bsky.social and especially Nicolas Rembert for pushing this project from his internship through his PhD!
📄 Tension gradients during migration. Using Flipper-TR FLIM, we showed that membrane tension gradients exist in all adherent cells and are actively maintained by actin and adhesion, not passively equilibrating. @rouxlab.bsky.social and Aumeier lab
